There was a notoriously unsuccessful late 60's early 70's band called "5
Stairsteps and Cubie".

Yow. This is a peach of a trivia question all by itself.
I remember yellow moons, green clovers, orange stars, blue diamonds...
(I *think* that's what they were, it's been a while...)
What was the fifth color/shape, *originally*? When/why was it dropped?
For that matter, when did the light brown M&Ms go away?

Pink Hearts, Lt. Brown M&Ms went away because I didn't like them :)
I guess they figures with Red and Blue, they didn't need Lt. Brown
anymore.

PINK HEARTS, YELLOW MOONS, ORANGE STARS, GREEN CLOVERS, and
BLUE DIAMONDS were the 5 original marshmallows. They haven't dropped
any of those, but they have at various times, added:
Purple Horseshoes
2-color green hats
Red balloons
Rainbows
etc.

The light brown (tan?) M&M's went away a year or two ago when
they added blue. Remember they held the campaign to vote for the new
color (Blue, Purple, Pink)? That new color replaced light brown.

Pink hearts.
On the light brown M&M's, I think Van Halen had them all destroyed.
Just kidding ! :-)

I just got back from New Zealand, and they still have the light brown
M&Ms there...but they don't have the blue ones. Also, M&Ms come in numerous
colors. There is a bulk candy store here in Madison that has at least 50
different colors.
