How do you eat colored candies?

[latteda]

Maybe I am the only one with enough OCD tendencies to separate mine out...maybe not. I'm curious.

When I eat Skittles, M&M's, or Resee's Pieces, I separate out each handful, sorting by color. Then I eat down the big piles until there is an equal number of candies in each pile. After that, I eat one from each pile until they are all gone. With Skittles, I eat them in order of my least favorite flavor to my favorite flavor: lemon, orange, cherry, lime, grape.

I love to mix up flavors. Mixing strawberry and lemon skittles is yummy. Otherwise I just randomly toss them in my mouth.

NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM

i dump the whole pack and sort them into a ROYGBIV scheme and then eat enough of the colors to make the numbers even and sometimes i even create pictures.....

I separate them into groups by color, then I eat candies from the more numerous groups until they all have the same number in them. Then I make a rainbow and eat one from each group in order. Unless I'm busy or trying to appear normal, then I just shovel them in.

EDIT: I wrote that without reading all of the OP, looks like we have the same method haha

Wow, talk about tasting the rainbow.

You are now on my list of favorite people.

Last year for my birthday, one of my friends bought some big bags of Skittles and he separated out a bag of green and a bag of purple. Some of us went to see a movie that night and I sat there happily with the bags in my lap eating one of each until I was about ready to barf. Happy times.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's OCD about how I eat colored candies.

LOL! I love that - HORK em down!

I guess that's how I eat them too...I don't sort them by anything - I just eat them...

I raise one to my mouth, chew, and then swallow.

Wow you guys are creatively cool.

I was convinced as a child that M&Ms where different flavors.

 

[JudyB1169]

I like to bite my candies and look at the middle of each one. Yeah, I know that is bizarre and you'd think I would realize that they all look ALIKE inside, but noooo....it's something I've done for as long as I can remember and most likely, will continue to do. Hey, a girl's gotta have some hobbies, right?

 

[_becca]

I used to chew the shells off the candies.

I used to chew the shells off the candies.

Ooh, I do that, too.

I usually group the same flavors together, and I will eat my least favorite first! Jelly Belly Beans are my thing!

In the south, we call that "Segregation"

I usually dump a handful out of Skittles.. seperate them into colors and eat whichever has the least amount per color.. all the way up through the most (per handful).

If that makes sense..

 

[alfrodull]

If they're something like M&Ms that are different colors but all the same flavor, I reach into the bag and pop them into my mouth indiscriminately. If they're different flavors like Skittles, I go out of my way not to mix flavors, but I don't eat them in a particular order or anything.

gulp them

i'll explain how i can do such a thing.

put them in my mouth and chew

but i will say one of my OCD tendencies with food goes with fruit snacks. i prefer to eat all the same types and colors first. same with Smarties and SweetTarts and Skittles.
