For those of you that eat M&M peanuts or plain, do you sort them by color?

Question

Or eat them by the handful? How many green ones do you usually get in a small bag? My record is 9. I think the machine broke on that package.

I used to the same thing Plum!

Wow!!! I didn't realize there were that many sorters out there. The ladies in my office when Monkey Ward's were still in business always had a good laugh at me eating them after sorting them by color. Red first yellow next to last and green last.

Answer 1

I match them up in colored pairs and eat the odd ones that are left first. Then I eat them 2 at a time and suck off the coating and let the chocolate melt in my mouth . I eat plain M&Ms.

Answer 2

I like both kinds, but whenever I eat the ones with peanuts, I always bite off the chocolately part and leave the whole peanut for last. I prefer normal ones a little bit more, though. A fun experiment to try - M&M's make a great temporary substitute for drawing chalk on concrete. Not even kidding. I sort them by eating the colors that I like the least, and saving my favorites for last. I usually go brown, yellow, red or orange, blue, then green. EDIT: Why is this question categorized in senior citizens? LOL.

Answer 3

yes of course I sort them and eat them by color. Isn't that what you are supposed to do?! lol

seriously - I do - I eat the blue ones first because that's my favorite color (but you already know that don't you )..(wink)

then I eat the red ones , then green, then yellow, then orange, then the brown ones last - one at a time to make them last

can't say that I've ever counted how many of any particular color in a bag, because I usually buy the BIG bags !!

when I was a kid, we used to say that the red ones were beets (YUMMY) the orange - carrots - the yellow - corn - and the brown ones were the meat

Answer 4

I sort them then eat one color at a time. I don't know why I do that, always have. Will have to count the green next time. And I get a big bag.

Answer 5

When I use to eat them, it was always by sorting them by colors. Usually the browns first. Then the colors would follow. But it gets worst, really bad.
I would keep in mind the sequence that I ate the previous order in and alternate for the next bag, and alternate again and again. I had to stop eating them. LOL

Answer 6

My husband gets the big bags of M & M's so I just take a few of those now and then, except the red ones, I don't like them. I eat them one at a time, but in no paticular order, though the blue is my favorite. I love it when there are a lot of blue ones, but I haven't counted them.---Luvs

BTW-I almost didn't recognize you today, W. Think I'll go find me a new look too.

Answer 7

I sorted them as a child and my sister and I would trade colors.
Now I just eat them. Have you tried nuking them? Put a medium size bag in the microwave for about 30 secs or until you hear them cracking, be careful not to burn them, the shell stays hard and the chocolate is melted. It is sooooo good that way! the plain don't take as long.

Answer 8

I have to limit myself and eat them one at a time. I try to get a different color each time. Can't say that I've ever counted how many green ones in a package though. I hope you didn't eat them all at once - you know what they say about the green M&M's!

Answer 9

If I have a hand full I will eat the largest number of what ever color until the rest start to equal out. Then work them down color by color to keep the colors equal. It’s a habit almost as bad as smoking.

Answer 10

Don't sort. Do eat one at a time. Shell sucker. Then if peanut I also suck off the chocolate before eating the peanut. Hate the peanut butter. Love the new dark chocolate ones. Will not eat generic or off brands.
