Xbox video games like Forza 4 and M&M’s are my weakness so putting them together is just insane and makes for an awesome afternoon of snacking and gaming.
Recently I picked up Forza 4 for Xbox which is an awesome driving game along with a HUGE (42oz) bag of peanut M&M’s. Let me start by saying that after buying the game and M&M’s I couldn’t get home fast enough to open both of my purchases and get my gaming started. Forza 4 is a game that I can see playing for a long time due to all of the different levels and challenges within the game. I played Forza 4 for a good two to three hours Saturday afternoon and also put a hurting on the M&M’s. Thankfully the kids and Melinda had some peanut M&M’s as well because they are one of my weaknesses and I could have eaten the whole bag by myself. Like I said I played for two to three hours and didn’t even scratch the surface when it comes to cars and tracks but I am looking forward to getting some more free time this weekend and playing again and hopefully upgrading my car and getting some race time on more awesome tracks.
I told Melinda that once I get a hang of Forza 4 and finish the game I want to move onto Forza 5 for Xbox One. I don’t have an Xbox One but I would buy one just to play Forza 5, LOL, that is just the kind of gamer I am. When I find a game that I really like playing I will continue to buy and play every game in that series and now that I am hooked on Forza 4 I will continue to play every Forza game that is released in the series.
I just saw a cool promotion that Walmart is going to be offering starting November 22nd when you buy Forza 5 and M&M’s called Buy, Snap, Redeem. Here are the details:
- Buy Forza 5 game
- Buy participating M&M’s products (+ Participating products include: M&Ms Peanut 42oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Milk 42oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Peanut Butter 38oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Pretzel 30oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Peanut 19.2oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Milk 19.2oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Peanut Butter 18.4oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Pretzel 15.4oz Large Laydown Bag.)
- Snap a photo of qualifying items on the receipt on your phone and text it to 811811
- Redeem: You will receive a text back with a reward code valid for a $10 eGift card to Walmart.
I like that Walmart is texting back a $10 eGift card just for buying the game and M&M’s. I love gaming, M&M’s and we shop at Walmart ALL of the time so to me this is a win win.
Christmas is a little over a month away and if you have a gamer on your list who loves driving games you need to check out Forza 4 as well as Forza 5. You would be the best gift giver this holiday season.
Also be sure to participate in the Pixel Art Instagram competition.

Be creative and have fun!
