Am I really the only one who eats her M&Ms by color until each color group has the same number of members, and then makes little patterns and attractive color combinations in the chosen mouthfuls?

Yeah, I thought so.

I eat them randomly until I'm down to, oh, twenty or thirty, and then I sort them into colors. And then, yes, if I have room, I'll arrange them into patterns - usually flowers or triangles. :)

When I was younger, I used to play "cull the herd" with M&M's - I'd weed out the ones that there were the least of, the way predators will pick out unusually colored individuals in a herd (one reason you rarely see albino critters in the wild). I'm not sure why I don't do that anymore, but it's always in the back of my mind when I play with my M&M's.

Hmm. I've always done the total opposite - started with the ones there are the most of. Mind you, I'm not a big fan of M&Ms. They always taste of peanut - even the ones that aren't actually peanut ones.

In the UK there are sweets called Smarties and these are much nicer. Now you can get normal, tiny and Giant Smarties - the giant ones are something like 3/4 inch across! Mmmmm. Orange Smarties are actually made of orange-flavoured chocolate, and almost everyone I know likes them the best of all. So we all tend to save the orange ones 'till last.
