For what it's worth - it seems the winner or each contest gets slightly weakened with the stress, and one M&M can rarely winmore than two or three contests. But occasionally you get some weird-shaped ones that are like killer rocks.

Oh yeah... I should be speaking in the past tense. Right.

It was a handful of peanut M&Ms earlier today that got me thinking about starting this thread...

That's right, whenever my younger brother and I each got packs of M&M's (usually at the grandparents' house), we would each arrange them in order of best to worst color (green, orange, yellow, brown, black) and see who had more of each. Fun stuff.
