Does anyone else have extremely weird habits for eating M&Ms?
I always eat the other colours first, and save the blue ones til last. The blue ones are special, you see.
Occasionally I go into full-on ridiculous eating-one-colour-at-a-time and delightedly watch the colour scheme change as each individual colour slowly fades out of the spectrum, until there's nothing left but blue (because I always finish with blue)... but that's only when I'm extremely bored.
Anyone else? Or is it just me?

Date: 2010-10-12 11:40 pm (UTC)I hate grape-flavored things, so I give the purple ones away. Then I eat the green, then the yellow, then the orange, and then the red. I have always eaten them this way. In order of how much I like them.

Date: 2010-10-12 11:44 pm (UTC)I was wondering if y'all had Skittles. I know there are different candies different places.

Date: 2010-10-13 12:07 am (UTC)Personally, my offerings would be likely to include plenty of chocolate and sugar (like musk sticks) but also lots of savouries (like Twisties and chicken chips).
The other reason being the annoying linguistic issue of "candy", "lollies", and "sweets"...

Date: 2010-10-13 12:14 am (UTC)Now I'm trying to figure out what my offerings would be. GooGoo bars, probably, since they're super local. Moon Pies. Chili Cheese Fritos, maybe. Stuckey's Pecan Log Rolls, which I have recently discovered you can buy online and not just on road trips. Too bad you can't send ice cream via mail; there are a couple of local kinds that are wonderful.
I am very intrigued by chicken chips....

Date: 2010-10-13 11:48 am (UTC)However, I discovered recently that I don't really like the Citrus Skittles packs - I really don't like the Mandarin or Grapefruit flavours, so there's now TWO flavours I don't like - and the orange and Mandarin Skittles are exactly the same color! Supreme fail, I think.

Date: 2010-10-13 06:02 pm (UTC)But I did suffer a year of disbelief from my schoolfriends when blue Smarties came out in Italy ages before the UK and so I tried them waaaay before anyone else. I may also have in the past licked red Smarties then wiped them on my mouth so I looked like I was wearing lipstick while eating all the other colours (orange last. They taste orangey). But *clearly* I'm over that now.
