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?

Not just you! And, oddly, the blue ones are almost always the ones I eat last, as well...

Haha, I don't eat them in any particular order, but I used to swear up and down that the blue ones tasted better. They tasted new!

Not with M&Ms--I just eat them by the handful--but I am so this way with Skittles.

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.

Oh, I save the best for last! Always!

I was wondering if y'all had Skittles. I know there are different candies different places.

It would be expensive, but it's quite a lovely idea. I admit--I'm more of a salty foods fiend. I like candy now and then, but I don't have an aggressive sweet tooth (except for my pie addiction). But I know some people who are CRAZY about candy, and I love the idea of people sharing.

Doh! I was still thinking in the candy vein. You did say junk food! Which covers drawers of inappropriate starches, too!

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....

What, pray, is a moon pie?

They're these round graham crackers with marshmallow in the middle and dipped in chocolate, about as big around a DVD. I actually ate so many of them when I was a little girl that I can no longer stand the taste of them. We drink them with RC Cola (a localish brand), and there's an RC Cola and Moon Pie festival every year in this little podunk town near where I live. I've never been, but I keep meaning to. More here.

Wikipedia informs me that this is indeed so. :D But do y'all have a Wagon Wheel festival?

Ah. Love Wagon Wheels :)
But the idea of different flavoured wagon wheels as described on wikipedia does my head in. Banana wagon wheel? Ew...

I do that with a US friend. I've gotten some truly horrifying products over the years! :-p

There's an LJ group for parcel-swapping, but they're all moderated, and wouldn't let me join... :(

I have similar odd tastes with Skittles. I always need to eat the three citrus flavours together. Always an Orange, Yellow and Green Together, or else I'll never eat the Green ones. I too am not a fan of Purple ones, and will give them away if possible.

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.

Blue M&Ms? Are you crazy?

You eat the RED ones last. Everyone knows that.

I line them all up, one of each color in each line. There are always more of some colors than others, so each line has fewer colors in it. I eat the unmatched stragglers first, and then the bottom-most line with the fewest colors in it, then the line above that, and so on, until I get to the lines with a complete set of colors, which I eat last.

This is the way I eat pretty much anything, including fruit salad and mixed vegetables.

I always eat M&Ms one color at a time, but for me the last color is always green. Blue is second to last. I refuse to consider this weird.

I like to get one of each colour, and order them in a line before I eat them...if they're running low, I'll go for an assortment of colours every time, never two of the same at the same time.
Then again, sometimes I go for the random grab. :-)

Sorry, I lived through the introduction of blue Smarties. Old news for M&Ms.

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.
