And Beck, I color-sort too! With Skittles I usually make little rainbow pyramids, with red as the base, then orange, yellow, green and purple. Mmm... I don't know why I do this, but I always have. One of my best friends in college was a color-sorter as well. I almost think it's a type-a personality thing, but I'm not sure. Steve Almond (author of the book Candy Freak) also sorts by color. I guess I'm in good company! Brian, you have captured the beauty of the surprise last candy so well…

Sounds so... I dunno... innocent? As for me, I eat things by color. Skittles are a favorite of mine, so they are my example. I will pour some out in my hand or on my desk, and line them up by color. First I eat all the green ones, then yellow ons, then orange ones; and then I alternate eating the red and the purple ones. Because they are the best. <strong>RESPONSE:</strong> Nice! I don't think I do anything like that (sorting)....at least not consciously :) --Brian Aw, that’s a sweet little ritual. Sounds so… I dunno… innocent?
