Okay, time for an utterly random poll question. Once again, not on a paid account so answers are by replies.

Q. When eating candies such as M&Ms or Reese's Pieces, do you eat a color at a time, or just grab at random?

neither! I pick each piece by color depending on mood!

I used to just grab at random. Now I tend to grab the color that stands out the most. "Oooh, red M&Ms camouflage fail! You made a bad evolutionary choice."

I use an error-diffusion algorithm that is weighted based on the color's relative representation.

Oh dear... I'm afraid my patent attorney over in Texas will have to get in touch with you. (Insert Evil Grin here)

Oh, dang, accept IBM apparently filed a patent on patent trolling so I dare not sue.

That depends: sometimes random sometimes color-selective

Or, to quote the ads they used to have on Smarties (the real kind, not the stuff here in the States) "When you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last?"

Quite the addictive jingle, for a guy across the border to remember it over a decade after the campaign.

Heh, amazing how we remember the jingles of our youth. For me Burger King is still, "Have it your way," and McDonald's is still, "You deserve a break today." The new jingles? "I'm lov'n it!" Yeah... That's, adequate.


(Hey you kids! Get off my lawn! You don't know what jingles really are these days, we walked uphill, through snow in Phoenix summers, yes snow in the desert! Through snow up hill both ways just to hear a jingle. And we liked it that way! :))
