I Eat Those The Most. I Put Them In Groups By Color First. Then I Line Them Up By The Color Wheel. You Know, Lighter To Darker. Then I Eat Them In That Order, Left To Right. My Mother Does It To. I Sometimes Think I'm OCD Because My Closet Is Sorted By Type (Sewater, Jacket, Nice Shirt, Regular Shirt) Sleeve Length (Tank Tops, Really Short Sleeves, Regular Sleeves, Three Quarter, & Then Long. Then I Put Them By Length Of The Acutal Shirt. If Possible I Then Sort By Color. I ALso Sort Medicine Cabinets, And Pantries. Canned Foods & Such. I Sort M&M’s, Skittles, & Smarties… I Eat Those The Most.

I thought I was the only one who saved one of each for last, to "end on a good note." LOL That is SO me!

I've done it ever since I was little I would put them in different bowls so they wouldn't touch each other once they were out of the package.. I don't go THAT far now but I think I will ALWAYS sort them before I eat them I sort all small candies…m&m’s are the most time consuming though.

I've sorted M&Ms for over 40 years. However, eating them based on numerological criteria just doesn't make sense. I eat sorted M&Ms one color at a time and one M&M at a time. For obvious reasons, the brown ones get eaten first; they are made of the worst chocolate; low grade stuff. After that the order is yellow, orange, and green. These are made of chocolate blends with increasing amounts of better tasting chocolate. Most people can't tell the difference in these color categories, so just take my word for it. Then comes blue. I really like the color blue, but when they added the blue ones, they tried but didn't quite outdo the red. The best tasting reds of course are savored till last and eaten as slow as possible. Now doesn't that make more sense? So what’s so strange about sorting candy. I’ve sorted M&Ms for over 40 years. However, eating them based on numerological criteria just doesn’t make sense.

So anyway. It IS ocd; I used to do the same thing with my halloween candy and I have plenty of perfectionist, detail-obsessed, picture-straightening, candy-sorting, control-freak OCD issues. Fortunately a few years in 12-step programs has relieved me of many of my control issues, so now I just sort the halloween candy once to see what I got instead of for hours like I did when I was a kid! oic, the anti-spam words are candy! my first one was “awesome,” which threw me off.

Well first my friend we go and buy a bag of reeses pieces and she has to sort out the colors and make sure we each get the same amount of each color. for me i do this with skittles and then i eat them from my least favorite flavor (orange) to my most favorite flavor (strawberry). wow we now have a little support group going here.
