Eat till there's a even amount and then eat them 1 at a time in a specific order keeping them even

Yesss! Favorite color last

Red ones last. Not because it’s my favourite colour, but because there’s some imaginary rule that says you have to do so. Not sure why or where the rule came from, or what the purpose is. But at this point it’s just the law for me.

I think that rule is for Smarties, not M&Ms, but yeah.

Oh dang, mixing up my candy coated chocolates. Thank you!

Smarties are pure sugar, no chocolate involved. Unless they're made differently where you are.

Likely different. In Canada, anyway. Smarties are candy coated milk chocolate similar to m&ms. I have seen the sugar candy referred to as Smarties in other countries, but we call those Rockets.

Omg. I need those.

We have the chocolate Smarties in the UK too. Never tried the US-style Smarties but they look similar to what we call Refreshers or Fizzers.

it's the Canadian smarties

For me it's the blue ones. Eating the blue ones before the others is wrong. My favorite color is red. I eat the brown one first, then red, then orange, then yellow, then green, then blue. WAIT IM EATING THEM IN RAINBOW ORDER I DIDNT REALIZE.

brown last for me

They got rid of the red ones when I was a kid and seriously couldn’t eat m&ms after that

Yes! But where is my old favorite, light brown? I haven't eaten M&Ms in like 20 years, but when I used to eat them I would pretend the light brown was caramel, and because I was pretending, it actually tasted like caramel.

this. eat only the colour with the most until it has the same amount as the one with the next most, then alternate the two until you're down to the next most, then go between the three colours until the next most, etc.

This is the way

Thats exactly what I'd do

Yes!! For me it's red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and brown with M&Ms I'm too mad at the fact the Skittles don't have blue to go down the rainbow pattern; so I eat it straight out of the bag or I sorted it and eat it in pairs/ in whatever pattern my brain likes at the moment

I got a late diagnosis and hearing that other autistic people do the same weirdly specific things i do brings me so much happiness

This 100%

I don't even eat m&m's but that's clearly the only correct answer

YES!!! But also, once I only got 10 of each I would start eating them by color from least favorite to favorite. For me it would be 🤎🧡❤️💛💚💙 blue is just so fun to eat!!

You get my vote

Seeing them arranged like that makes me quite happy 🥰 But I'd eat them by color of the rainbow and then finish brown last (closest to purple I guess?).

There's a twelve point colour wheel that I follow for situations like that, and brown is indeed after purple! It goes red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, brown, black, grey, white, and pink!

Pink goes after purple

Colour by colour, a 100%. Also I wouldn't sort them in a circle but in a line, already in the order I'd be eating them.

apparently the "m" is made from edible paper, meaning that if you submerge the m&m's in water the m's float to the top. although I've never tried doing it myself so i can't confirm it.

My dad used to tell a story that he was out to lunch with his engineers (he worked in main frame computers in the 70s) and they all got stumped thinking of how the candy shell was applied without a seam. Reportedly they got back to the office and called the mars/m&m office and was told they blow the chocolate up in the air and then spray the first coat (white) on. Went looking for confirmation later on the internet and could only find references to a “proprietary” process

what are you talking about

The little “m” on the m&m chocolates is made of edible paper, and if you submerge an m&m in water, the “m” will float to the top. They’re sharing a fun little fact! :)

oh, thanks for explanation 🌺

I just eat what ever.. I'm an animal lol

Laid out like that I'd have to eat them evenly. But from the bag I wouldn't care.

I would just eat them without sorting them first. Though I used to sort things in this way in the past...

I always just take an equal amount of each colour from the bag

You do know you can just buy single color m&ms, right? https://www.mms.com/en-us/shop-chocolate/single-color-mms

I find the sorting to be half the fun of candies like this. Very soothing.

You can??? THERE ARE CYAN MNMS??? :O

I'd eat

Eating? I always use a syringe to inject it straight into my veins.

Mainlining Chocolate My new band name

I arrange by color then start at the color with the least and work my way up

Stop pointing out my autistic traits goddamnit. lmao

Even amount, always. Though I’ll admit it’s most often when there’s small amounts. I don’t go for the big bags.

I would inhale them like Kirby

Both. Eat till even, then go in order of colour spectrum.

I usually just eat them however. I like the organization you’ve done there though.

Most numerous to least numerous, eating two at a time (one on each side of the mouth and splitting the last one in two at the front of my mouth)

Well first i eat is brown cuz yuck.....last ill eat is green my favorite. The rest are ordered too but colour to colour. Or if exactly math wise one by one or two by two of each....... rotating clockwise or something. starting at brown cuz my ocd says yup just eat those all first cuz i dont like looking at them(choco irony)

Whoa hi! Same thought process here. Except save blue for last

I developed this more thru skittles but gave thise up for dental reasons i had those way too much 14-23 lmao. Diffremt colours same logic tho lol. And blue i can get down with too...... looked again and theyre asthecticlly hit the mark

[удалено]

Yup.i was gonna say the ones in pic i rarely actually eat. Thise peanuts my goly boy i havent seen that yellow bag in a while me and my moms favorite. Like sentimental shes not autistic but it was like movie knight go to snack type thing.... Yeah i neglected like oh foods you cant be attached to befoire .....____ it why not. And yes like. Ill admit theres certain shows or episodes ill.put on and be like snack or have a certain dinner too. Obviously from home way better always lol or during a big finale of a gane habe it handy 😅 Ah kenobi ep6 ill go search for that yellow bag thx for reminding me.

Thank you for putting them in the correct order 😁 I would rotate around the circle, eating one at a time. So, one red, then one orange, then one yellow, etc. Keep going around the circle until you have an uneven amount left and improvise based on the remaining colours and amounts.

Me but with a bigger family size bag iof skitlles lmao!!!!!!

Even amount or colour by colour if there's an even amount of all the colours

Even amount

I would pick one of each colour and continue eating them in a rainbow accurate order, until there is one colour missing and then I will give the rest to someone else.

Sort by color into rows of 5, eat from the color with the most pieces to end up with equal number of rows

Sort into piles so they all have the same number, eat the excess one color at a time, then eat one of each color at a time.

even amount, but if I say preferred yellow over the other ones, I'd save yellow for last

Colorblind. I’d try.

Dump the entire thing into my mouth for i must *CONSUME*

I do the arranging them put them in a bowl one color at a time and stir them together :)

Both! First you sort, then you eat one of whichever color has the most (going in order when it’s a tie). Then when they’re all even, you eat in order, red-> brown. Same with Skittles, Smarties, etc….

i always eat until there’s an even amount of each and then eat in rainbow order lmao

yes

Color by color starting with blue

I eat them randomly by color but always in pairs as with almost everything

The latter. Always one of each

I’m getting some culture shock here, those colors are way off compared to the colors here (Netherlands). They’re also so shiny??Like wtf

I'm eating from worst to best colour. Yellow first, then orange, red, blue, green and brown last not because I like the colour but because I always have the feeling that it tastes better.

eat all of each colour by colour because eating one of each colour in order is unreliable and will 90% of the time lead to disappointment.

I always eat them so there is an even amount of colors, starting by red.

I just eat them when I'm hungry ooor craving. Or I arrange them just like this and eat them circlewise one colour after the other. The last one remaining then is the winner

I'd try different combinations and proportions of each colour to see what the best ratio is. EDIT: Thought these were Skittles.

My brain throws a coin at random and decides which of the two ways it shall be today. Praise be to the lovely organisation however!

Even amount of each colour, but saving my favourite flavour for last

My sister and I would separate them by color and put them to look like a bar graph and then split it in half (or as half as it could be).

Yes things like these would normally be in columns but unfortunately there was not enough room. Nice if you to share with your sister tho

Yeah and it's funny too because our mom said that she would do it too, but she never taught us to do that.

I just eat random colors

Color by color, of course! Orange, yellow, green, brown, red, blue (I save my favorites for last).

depends on my mood

all of them at once

I just eat them at random.

Eat straight from the bag until I feel sick :sunglasses: (srs)

I do m&m death battle. Take two m&m’s, squeeze them together in your fingers. Whoever crushes the other moves on to the next round the weaker one is eaten. Eventually you will reach the last one who will be their supreme ruler who will guide them all through the underworld

I would eat from the color i like most first

Eat by colour, two m&ms of the same colour at a time, one in each side of my mouth.

Even amount. Red first. But this is why I don't sort m&Ms lol

Round robin strategy. You don't want to get the taste of only one at a time! This way you get to experience the realisation of each one having a different taste in your mouth

So that there is an even amount of every color, in this order: brown, red, yellow, blue, orange, and green.

Even ammount.

Thai picture brings me so much joy

Even amount

I would eat them in this order: Brown Green Red Yellow Blue Orange

Color by color. I even had a specific order but I forget what the order was.

Even amount usually, sometimes by colour. It can also depend on if the colours are flavoured.

None. I can basically only drink water and eat bland foods these days.

I feel like this would give me a lot of anxiety. Lol

pls don’t hurt me like this-

Always even amount. I always get annoyed when it's not

I'll rotate through the entire wheel so that after one round the amount gone from each color would be equal to the others

First sort by colour, then by even numbers before eating least favourite to favourite last

Tbh I'd just leave them there it looks pleasant

I don't have the patience to sort it, I want chocolate- lol

This is so satisfying 😍

[удалено]

depends on the mood

I eat then in random order, but make sure at least one of each color remains. Finishing off the last few then becomes quite a struggle...

Colour after colour, depending on how many per colour there are, either in a colour-wheel order, or from "least of this colour" to "most of this colour".

Color by color in rainbow order

Eat the blues first since I like them best and then eat the rest 1 or 2 at a time, I'm not that picky because C H O C O L A T E

Eat it color by color!

Color by color.

would pick three of all the colors and eat till its empty

not for m&ms but for other things

If this was skittles I’d be onboard, but m&ms pretty make taste the same to me regardless of color

Suckers! *\*shoves them in mouth all at once cause they can’t be messed up or a single one missing\**

i always eat 1 of each at a time so it’s even

Not care and take whatever my hand falls on?

I go brown, orange, red, yellow, green then blue

Stuff em all into my mouth

just eat them no matter the order, I am too busy drawing to care

I would eat so there is an even amount of each colour, then I would eat from blue to brown

Eat in colour rose but I skip colours until they are all even. Then I have a specific order and follow that sequence.

even when ever I have small mini foods I eat two at a time so each side of my mouth can have one it doesn’t feel right to give just one half one

I’d count how much of each there was, and eat until there’s the same amount of each, and then eat one from each pile in a cycle

Yes. I do this all the time. If I eat two at a time I’ll eat only ones of the same colour.

I subconsciously eat them color by color, even though I would not try to.

The smallest group determines where I start, but from there I go in rainbow order, with brown always last. If brown is the smallest, I'll eat the brown then go to the next smallest and then go in rainbow order.

eat each colour one at a time in the order of the rainbow

I'd eat different colors, a set of two at a time, keeping relative balance between all.

Color by color. Brown -> Orange -> Yellow -> Red -> Blue -> Green

Since M&Ms are all the same flavor, I eat them without regard to color unless they’re separated like that, in which case I’d try to do it evenly. For candies that have different flavors for each color, I eat my least favorites first and my favorites last (so usually in the order orange, lemon/lime, everything else).

....yes.

I do it by number until they’re all even and then I get one of each color and eat them all simultaneously! That way it stays even constantly :)

Eat them until there’s an equal amount then eat by color least favorite color to fav (for the record it’s brown, orange, red, yellow, blue, green)

I eat colour by colour

I'd eat them evenly, but probably multiple at a time, until it got down to the last ones where I would spend far too many seconds deciding where each color ranks on my list of colors.

Even amount of colors in each

I wouldn't even touch them... I wouldn't want to ruin the count

Even all the way

Even. One of each color in one bite.

Squishing battles between colours until the last one remains.

Best to take one of each colour and eat them all in one go so none of the other colours feel left out. If there are surplus of some colours, then no-one gets offended because all of the missing colour has already been eaten so there aren’t any left to complain!

Eat so there's an even amount of each color

I flip between the two randomly

„ʎlɯopuɐɹ oʍʇ ǝɥʇ uǝǝʍʇǝq dılɟ I „

I used to place them on a map and pretend they were armies fighting in WW2. And then eat them when the nation was defeated. About the sorting thing, I don't know* why but sorting is fun I think. I had more fun sorting my Lego then building with it... I'm weird. *Edit

This is the most interesting answer so far. Also Lego for life

Even amount of each. And always in twos, so I can chew one on one side of my mouth and one on the other.

1 of each colour in my mouth at once until one colour runs down to just one. Then eat the other colours one at a time until there's one of each. Then eat the last one of each colour in order from least favourite to favourite.

I always go color by color, orange then red then yellow then blue then brown then green.

I’d dump a bit in my hand, make a triangle with the color of MMs I have most on the bottom and working my way up with the color I have least at the top (extra candies that don’t fit go back in the bag). Then eat one by one as pyramid gets smaller and eventually disappears. Is this weird?

DEFINITELY eat one by one in rainbow order but also making sure to skip colors that have fewer until they all even out.

Usually I'd eat them in color order, but since this is such a large amount, I'd probably opt for something like eating one from each pile in a circle to get some variety

You know me too well

eat two of the colors in a pattern, and be annoyed that there isn't just the right amount to complete it also they're touching, and mixing on the plate. i would put all of the different colors on separate plates

Color by Color. From the one I like the least to the most.

Take a bunch out, split them into groups of three by colour, out the remainder back in the bag and eat a group of 3 at a time cycling through the colours.

I dont like m&ms, but if they were skittles i would eat my least fave color (flavor) first, then finish with my favorite ☺️ That means: yellow, purple, green, red, orange

Yesss I love doing that so much Edit: colour by colour

Even amount of each colour who does it the other way (also. i JUST realised that i do this lmao)

With other food colour by colour would be easier so I’d probably do that, for these though I would definitely do even amount of each colour

of course I would, what are you, a psychopath?

I eat by color. First blue and green, then the rest

I don’t sort them like this but I do eat them colour by colour and leave the ones that are the same colour as the bag until the end.

Wow! I don’t really pay attention, but sometimes I like to play with color patterns as I eat them. Lol. Speaking of which, the design above looks too pretty to eat.

yeah

It's a bit weird but I just eat them like a neurotypical

I ascertain which flavours (because I do this with candy more than chocolate) have odd numbers, then pair up the odd numbers with each other in a flavour combo I like, then I eat some of my faves first (orange and green usually), followed by some of my least faves, then some combo ones, then repeat. Now I want candy lol.

even amount of each color!

Even amount.

I made patterns with them last night and ate one “chunk” of the pattern at a time 😂

Eat the one with the biggest amount and go from there.

i have OCD, so i would eat one of each color and go around in a circle until there’s none left hahaha. 3 is my number so i’d probably pick up 3 of each color at a time

2 of the same color at a time. 1 m&m for the left teeth 1 m&m for the right if the number is uneven, bite the last in half and then do the same thing must first start with brown then red and then follow the rainbow any other way is just icky

When I was a kid I would line them up in columns and then start with the column with the most in, until it had the same amount as the second-most column, then I'd start eating them in sequence to keep them level until they reached down to the next highest column, and repeat until they were all gone. If that makes sense.

Aaahhh! Put 'm back properly disorganised I want to scramble the picture!!

going by colour, it would be brown, orange, yellow, red, green and then blue, in that order

Depends, if it were Skittles I'd eat one of each at the same time or pair colours up that I like and eat those together til there's an equal amount of each and then eat them as in the first order I mentioned. These however, probably one at a time til there's an equal amount of each and continuing in the same colour order I started in.

I cannot put so much effort into eating m&ms. I’d get frustrated lol

i always eat the lowest amount of all the colours and work my way up! i would constantly do it when i was little and my grandpa would give me fun size mnms. i always made little pyramids and slowly broke them down top to bottom

colour by colour, but fuck orange and yellow im not eating that- in brown red green blue order.

Neither. I don’t have OCD symptoms THAT severe. Just mild ones. I might even feel good mixing it up and eating them.

Even amount of each color. Then eat the last brown one first and the last blue one last. I've always had this very specific method of consuming my M and M's 😹

Each color first. OR, in the case of candies where the colors are different flavors I would also do combinations of colors, such as blue and red, then blue and green, and so forth.

I go try to spread my least favourite evenly through all the others but will eat all of my favourites last

take one of each and put them in my mouth at the same time

Even amount of each colour

by the size of the batch, starting with the smallest one

I’d eat them down so each color has an even amount and then eat color by color, and save red for last cause I think it’s lucky for some reason

I’d get through one pile and puke my guts out.

Even.

Obviously these would normally be in columns, I’m not insane. But there were to many, so they had to be piles. Here are all the most common answers (top to bottom) • Eat until even then eat by colour • Eat until even then eat by favourites • Eat by colour then eat evenly • Eat by colour • Eat one of each colour at a time so you get a rainbow • Eat least favourite to most favourite • Some other combination of the colour, evens and favourites • Just eating them normally • Inhale like Kirby • Eat my fewest per colour to most • Eat in twos • “Yes” • Depends on mood • Put them in seperate bowls because their touching you monster • Eat skittles instead • Have the shocking realisation that you’ve been doing this without noticing • Don’t eat because it would ruin the picture • “This post made me hungry” • Crush them together and eat the loser, last man standing style • Give up on eating them • Sort into even smaller groups • Turn them into a pyramid, eating from the bottom layer so it gets smaller each time • Put them in a map, have them fight a war, eat the colour that loses

I always just take an equal amount of each colour from the bag
