    1) Three M&Ms were dropped in warm water with the 'M' side facing up to observe what would happen. 2) The M&Ms sank to the bottom of the cup and did not dissolve or float in the water over several minutes. 3) M&Ms contain hydrophobic coatings that prevent them from dissolving in water like hydrophilic substances, allowing them to "melt in your mouth, not in your hands."
