Candy for a Good Cause
To open the Real Chocolate Relief Act promotion, Mars, Incorporated invited actor Neil Patrick Harris to distribute candy bars in Times Square in New York City. With the help of two life-sized M&M pieces, Harris spent 90 minutes on May 7, 2009, handing out candy to fans and residents. He described the situation as fun, yet overwhelming as many people came to the event. Harris also mentioned that he enjoys Snickers and gave fans spoilers for the finale for his television sitcom How I Met Your Mother on CBS.YouTube Video: Neil Patrick Harris's Sweet Heart - New York Post
