While most of us are inclined to decorate in red, pink, and white for Valentine's Day, M&M's offers a different perspective, saying that green is actually the color of love.

The fabulous Ms. Green -- the first and only female M&M's spokescandy -- is bringing her colorful personality to the candy aisle this Valentine's season as M&M's where she proclaims green as the new color of love. In this video, the flirtatious, sassy, and alluring live-animated Ms. Green talks with Chris Harrison, host of "The Bachelor" about the myths, rumors, and innuendo surrounding green chocolate candies.

Research has proven that chocolate induces physiological changes - replicating the body's reaction to love. Legend has it, "The Green Ones" are an aphrodisiac; rumors of their special powers have been circulating since the '70s. And in honor of that, retail establishments across the country will display limited-edition all-green candies amidst the holiday's traditional sea of red and pink.

Did you know...?

* * A certain '80s rock star requested three pounds of Green M&M's backstage for "inspiration"
* * Green M&M's have been requested on 31 space shuttle flights. According to unofficial reports, the astronauts wanted to keep that lovin' feeling when traveling far away from home
* * The color green has a strong place in history, long associated with love and fertility

Apparently Ms. Green joined the M&M's pack in 1997 as the first (and only) female spokescandy. It is said that she instantly captivated fans of the iconic candy with her luscious lips, slightly suggestive smile, and white-hot go-go boots. Famous for her sometimes intimidating "I melt for no one" bravado, Ms. Green is turned on by simple candlelit dinners (in Paris), and isn't shy about promoting her beauty and special powers.

I'll tell you one thing right now: I haven't done enough personal research to back up the potential love power of green M&Ms. But give me a shiny green sports car, and I promise to love you forever!

Happy Valentines Day!
