Forget Lombardi, Meet the M&M's "Almost Champions" Ring: A Candy-Coated Crown for Second Place Sweethearts

Jan 29th 2024

Move over, Lombardi trophy! There's a new bling king in town, and it's dripping in chocolate, dusted in sugar, and absolutely crushing the jewelry game. No, it's not Willy Wonka's latest edible extravagance (although, sign us up!). It's the M&M's "Almost Champions" Ring, a Super Bowl LVIII showstopper that's redefining the meaning of runner-up realness.

M&M's Almost Champions Ring

Forget the tears and "what ifs." This ring, crafted from 14K gold and encrusted with diamonds literally made from peanut butter (yes, you read that right!), celebrates the valiant also-rans, the near-victors, the "second place is the new first place" champions of everyday life.

Think about it: How many times have you poured your heart and soul into something, given it your all, only to come oh-so-close to the ultimate win? Maybe you aced that baking competition but got edged out by a unicorn cake masterpiece. Perhaps you trained for months for that marathon, only to be nipped at the finish line by a gazelle in running shoes. Or maybe, just maybe, you popped the question with the most romantic picnic ever, but your sweetheart, bless their adorable heart, just couldn't commit (we've all been there, friend).

This is where the M&M's "Almost Champions" Ring steps in, like a knight in shining (well, chocolate) armor. It's a glorious, glittering testament to the beauty of trying, the power of resilience, and the undeniable truth that second place still gets bragging rights, especially when those rights involve peanut butter diamonds.

But wait, there's more! 

This ring isn't just a pretty bauble. It's a portal to a world of M&M's-fueled fun. Pop open the hidden compartment (shaped like a mini football stadium), and you'll find a cozy little haven for your favorite M&M. Snack attack averted, and your inner champion refueled.

M&M's isn't just celebrating the Super Bowl's near-misses; they're extending this champion spirit to all of us. They've launched a heartwarming campaign featuring NFL legends like Dan Marino, Terrell Owens, and Bruce Smith, all proud wearers of the "Almost Champions" Ring. The message is clear: giving your best, even if you don't reach the top, is something to be celebrated.

So, the next time you face a setback, remember: you're not just an "almost." You're a potential peanut butter diamond in the rough, a champion-in-waiting with a candy-coated crown just waiting to be claimed. So chin up, dust off your metaphorical cleats, and grab yourself a bag of M&M's. Because who knows, your next bite might just be the fuel you need to turn that "almost" into an "absolutely."
