M&M's

[iamkeri1]

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,

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.

you know, I watch how people eat things, because I have this theory that I can imagine how they are at oral sex by the way they eat food. I even wrote an article once, about how candy can be used to help build oral skills. I read your posts and smiled. Now my turn...

I love randomness...I love to be suprised...I dont want ritual or order. I want to go with whatever I pull out of the bag. What comes next isnt what my focus is about when it comes to eating Ms. Oh no. My focus comes when its in my mouth. I put it in and let it sit in the center of my tongue until I can feel it get warm, when I can tell the hard shell start to get soft..

and I start to slowly move it, around, letting every area get a turn to soften, until all the shell is almost gone. Once you start, the process quickens because the heat that is generated quickly takes care of the M even on the spots where its not resting on the tongue..

the next step takes such patience...and self control...

the milk chocolate begins to melt and I put it on the end of my tongue and use my teeth to hold it against and I move it around, slowly licking against it, like a clit, sloughing off the warm goey milk chocolate,turning it around until all thats left is the little nut...which I spin and push against...until I flip and grind down with my back teeth...

I pause...then move on to my next divine taste...

LOL! I thought I was the only one that does this.....I am a closet M&M eater, I never let anybody see me do this....Well, now the whole Planet knows!

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!
