2. "y" is a funnier letter than "o"
It's the reason this thread has so many replies.

3. since M&Ms made a big hit amongst candy eaters
they tried to branch out with Ant-on-yms - (yms are yummy bits of chocolate covered with a candy coating) instead of stampting M&M on the candy - they were gluing ants to them

as you may have noticed - it wasn't a big hit

5. Of course there is. They're things that are named by ants.
