Someone with too much time...(I know it's a joke)

The Ultimate M&M Challenge

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.

I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointer, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment. When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd.

Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc.,Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 USA, along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."

This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.

There can be only one...

If you have even more time to waste, you could peel them and try to extract the DNA.

This lone soldier formerly known as "The Perfect Brown M&M" eagerly awaits the so-called champion of the tournament and is honoured to be able to challenge that warrior....

There's always the Spartan method: take 2 M&Ms, on in each hand, and whack them together until the shell on one cracks. The winner survives to the next round.

Finally, when there is only one M&M left, you raise it proudly and say:

Anyone still got the 'Do Not Feed The Troll' cartoon?

I love that...
