How do you eat your Skittles?

[zippitydoo]

I voted for the Skittles are nasty. This is just a candy I just do not care that much for. to me they are yucky

 

[Pakey]

I separate also.

Orange
Red
Purple
Green
Yellow

Yellows are superior.

 

[SCHBR'smom]

They must be separated just like m&m's. Only certain colors can be eaten together.

Very true.

Green and purple go first because they are my least favorite.

Yellow, orange and red can be mixed together, but red is last because it is my favorite.

There are things you can only discuss with strangers on the internet. DH just doesn't understand the importance of skittle eating order.

Skittles, like M & M's, must be eaten in sets of 2, in the same colors. So I must eat 2 blues, 2 reds, 2 greens, etc etc....in the instance of uneven numbers I match them by color if they M & M's and by flavor if they are Skittles. So if I have a red, a yellow, a blue and a brown M & M left I can pair the red and yellow and blue and brown, or I can pair the red and blue and yellow and brown......with Skittles if I have a red, a yellow, an orange and a green I will pair the red and green and the yellow and orange.....if I still have an uneven number I will eat the last 3 at the same time. Yes, I am definitely very OCD about my Skittles/M & M's...LOL

I separate them by color, and line them up in rows. I eat one color until its line is equal to another color's, then I eat those two until they're equal with the third, and so on. When they're all equal, I vary how I eat them. Sometimes, I take one of each color and eat them all together, sometimes I eat one at a time in descending colors from least favorite to favorite, and sometimes I eat all of each color at once.

So yes, I like to sort, then make them equal, but after that it's all fair game.

I chose other because although I don't think they are "nasty" but I wouldn't waist the calories on them

Always Red Last. Usually Purple 2nd to last, but not a rule.

Generally my order would be very much like SGT. Mickey;s

 

[bookgirl]

If I'm in a movie or someplace that I can't order them I do just eat them. But I prefer to group them by color and then eat them in accending order. Those I like least to those I like best. Yellow, Green, Orange, Red, Purple.

I also like to group M&M by color but they all taste the same so the order doesn't matter.

 

[daisax]

I divide them by color, and then either eat the one with the fewest, or trim down the other colors until all the colors have equal numbers.

Then I don't care what order I have them in, but I eat them one color at a time.

If I'm at the movies or in the car or something, I don't care. This is more when I have a little bag at my desk at work.

I do the same with M+Ms.

 

[lacrosse_lady72]

I separate them into color coordinated pairs. Then I eat them starting with the flavor I like the least, so yellow, green, orange, red then purple. If there are stragglers (and there usually are) I pair them up in like flavors, so not purple and green together, then start with those pairs first.

I do this with all multi-colored candy like M&Ms, gummy bears, Dots, etc...

 

[celeste.]

I eat the citrus ones first, often together (yellow + green = Sprite Skittles), then move on to the obviously superior reds and purples.

i do the same as you do.

 

[Mish19]

I separate them, I thought I was the only one because my friends at work make fun of me. I give the orange to my friend because I don't like them, green, yellow, then either red or purple for last. Whichever has the least amount of the two I will eat first.

 

[Diane]

Wow, I haven't had skittles in ages! I used to line them up like a rainbow (or the closest I could get it) - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. Then I would put one of each color in my mouth at the same time. (Taste the rainbow!)

Of course, there are not an even amount of each color in the bag, so at some point I started eating one color at a time.

 

[crazelion]

Eat big hand fulls at time like a pig. LOL

 

[ginna74]

I eat the yellow, green, orange (the best) ones first then the rest.

 

[deva]

I separate and toss the oranges (unless I can give them away) then purple, green, yellow and red. Seems like lots of people save red for last.
