I just showed this to my room mate Ben, because he always says I am nuts when I eat M&Ms.

I hereby state categorically that my behavior is NOT OCD because I only eat them this way when a flat surface is available. When munching M&Ms in a darkened theatre, or in a car, I can throw them down just as they come out of the bag.

BUT ... given a flat surface, this is what I do.
I dump them all out, sort them into separate piles for each color. Then I make a straight line for each color, longest line on top, shortest line on the bottom. Then I start eating the colors that have the longest lines (I do also count them, as my goal is to end up with a equal number of each color.) Once the numbers are even, I eat one of each color until they are gone.

Cara, I also miss the light brown ones. My SIL has been boycotting the blue ones since they replaced the light brown ones. She dumps all her M&Ms in a bowl. Whether or not she eats them in any particular order I don't know, but she WON'T eat the blue ones. Her kids are grateful for her refusal to eat them, and have spent lots of time thinking of reasons that she might want to stop eating various other colors as well.

I must say, we do sound like a bunch of nuts with all these vaious M&M eating strategies, LOL
Smooches,
Keri

I only eat the peanut M&Ms. In Canada we have Smarties, which are similar to plain M&Ms, and I prefer those.
If I'm eating M&Ms at home I pick out the red and blue ones and save them for last. The rest I sort into colours and then eat 1 of each colour until they are all gone.
At the movies I just dump them into my bag of popcorn. The rest of the time I just eat whichever one I pick out of the bag no matter the colour.

I love peanut M&M's...no particular order of color, but, I eat them one at a time, and take several bites out of each one making them last as long as possible.

And yes, that game yesterday was as much fun as watching paint dry

I like to make 'stop lights'. Red, yellow, green. When out of those combinations, I just make a pretty mix.

Open bag, pop into mouth (no not all at once) let melt on tongue. NEVER chew.

What I am really liking the new M&M commercials. The last one I saw was the one with the robbery in progress and the guy says he is gonna eat one of the hostages! The new pretzel M&M commercials are a hoot too!
