Let's Talk M&Ms, Skittles, Jelly Beans and Such

[ArkieDukie]

One of my friends bought me a bag of the Duke Blue M&Ms in 2004 during the tournament. I didn't know until then that you could buy single color M&Ms.

When Devil84 and I lived in Aycock, we would separate out the M&Ms by color. I would only eat one color at a time. I always saved the green for last. There was a rumor that green M&Ms had an aphrodisiac property.

Wilson mentioned Lifesavers, and that reminded me of the silly fun I had in junior high school. My friends and I and would go in the bathroom, cut off the light and chew Wint-O-Green Lifesavers in front of the mirror to watch the sparks emanate from our mouths. I might go out and get a package of Wint-O-Green Lifesavers tomorrow morning to entertain 's kiddos with that trick.

Ah, yes - triboluminescence. Definitely a cool trick.

OMG! It has a name! How cool!

And it has a Wikipedia page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboluminescence.

We gave the kids Wint-O-Green Lifesavers last night and let them try it out in the darkened bathroom.

Great fun!

I miss Tan. M&Ms lost something the day they lost Tan.

I'm abstaining from the poll in memory of Tan.

Skittles are awesome....like jelly beans the colors translate to flavors. I organize my skittles and eat handfuls of one color at a time.

I love skittles!

I used to do the same thing as well! I never got the green MOJO though, although I kept hoping for it! The more green M&Ms, the more MMMMMMMMM! I keep the faith! ;)

That Wint-O-Green trick was AMAZING!!! That is 1 I've never heard of and it was absolutely AWESOME! Just like YOU!!!! ;)

I love all the other non-chocolate candy mentioned. Skittles. Jelly Beans. Gummy candy of any kind.

I indeed ate a packet of bottle caps this evening.

I don't remember tan.

I voted brown with regards to M&Ms as chocolate is brown, thus there are fewer chemicals in brown M&Ms. I heard that in a movie. Anyone care to guess which movie and who said it first?

The one with Jennifer Lopez playing wedding planner to Mathew McConaughy (sp?). He was a doctor married some blonde socialite and he and Jennifer fell in love. They sat on a tree in the park watching movies and tossing away M&Ms. Although, now that I think of it - weren't they tossing out the brown ones?

Ding, ding, ding, ding...We have a winner!!!

The following is a summary of the changes to the colors of the flagship (milk chocolate) flavor of M&M's, the only flavor manufactured since the beginning of the brand. From 1941 until 1987, each package contained M&M's in five different colors; when red M&M's were reintroduced in 1987, they were added as a sixth color instead of replacing any of the existing colors.

Ohhhhhhh!

Goodbye Taniel;
You are, older than me;
Do you still feel the pain?
Of the scars that won't heal;
Your eyes have died;
But you see more than I;
Taniel you're a star!

Nah, I still eat M&M's. I just say a little prayer each time for Tan, who has gone on to that great big candy store in the sky.

...that great big candy store in the sky.

That's where I wanna go when I kick the bucket.

Forget the sparks, get them for the taste! They're amazing and were the first thing I thought of when Wilson started talking about white candy.

[colchar]

Why all this talk of M&Ms? Smarties are waaaay better.
