(from someone who definitely has too much time on their hands)

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to
continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a
species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.

Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply
pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and
splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one
immediately. The winner gets to go another round.

I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are
tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I
have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive
long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern
candy and snack-food world.

Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is
misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost
invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare
occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the
species continues to adapt to its environment.

When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the
strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat
this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it
to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ
17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use
this M&M for breeding purposes."

This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon
for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this
"grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand
tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the
True Champion.

There can be only one.

Yes, definately too much time, LOL. I love M&M's however I insist the different colors taste different, LOL, DH says they do not, but I am convinced. I will only eat the brown, red and blue ones and I pick those out of the pack and leave the green, yellow and orange ones. Unless they are the Valentine ones that are red, pink and white, I will eat all those, and I will eat all the breast cancer ones, those are all pink. So keep us posted on who survives the tournament, LOL.

Okay I am sort of anal about my M&M's (hopefully I wan't be slammed for this personal belief, although I am no shrinking violet) this is what I do,

I dump the entire package out on my desk, coffee table or whereever I might be at the time
Then I sort by numbers and colors.

I eat them one-by-one in order of whatever color has the highest number to whatever color has to lowest number. NO MIXING COLORS, I swear they taste different!! Orange and Brown usually are at the top!! It sounds very OCD, and maybe I am about certain things, like my M&M's and house cleaning!! I promise thats it!! LOL

Just adding: THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I DO... I DON'T EVEN LIKE M&M'S... THIS IS SOMETHING I FOUND WHILE ON "STUMBLE UPON" AND C/P IT HERE.

I thought it was funny, and wanted to share.
