Of course I eat them by color! Brown ones first, green ones last. Now if you're eating Necco wafers it's brown ones last. Reds are last for Dots and jelly beans. You've got to save the good colors for last! Nothing wierd about that. Now the real question is...how do you eat your peanut butter cups??
In 1998 I came back from a trip to Vegas that included a visit to M&M World. I found out that the color distribution is according to a strict formula according to the flavor (plain, peanut, etc.).
I and another coworker (being equally crazy) spent a lunch hour counting all the M&Ms in a pound bag of plain ones and then breaking them out by colors. There are about 587 plain M&Ms in a pound. The color distribution was spot on.
We gave most of the M&Ms away. One woman in particular appreciated the gift of about fifty-seven green ones.
We were going to count another pound bag, but we left it in the freezer over a weekend when they were going to clean out the break room.
