Skittle Sorting

[71notout]

Do any of the rest of you do this?

When I buy a packet of Skittles, I absolutely have to sort them into their separate coloured piles and eat them in rotation so each pile has an equal number of sweeties in it

Straw poll in the office - one other nutter admits to doing this - do you?

Probably some deep-rooted childhood problem behind it.

Oh, good. Another mental.

Is it the weather or something?

Gotta keep the reds & purples til last though

Don't know - I just thought this would be something to do with tenpin bowling.

[stifler]

No.

But I eat 5 at a time, 1 of each. Kinda like a sugary fruit salad.

[tribbles]

Only when it gets down to about 10

Mental is not the word for this!

[AndyAudi]

Guilty as charged! I eat them in order too,

(I can't understand why other folk don't understand the need)

The correct way to eat Skittles is to separate into red & black and others, then eat the others first then all the red ones then all the black ones last.

you have far to much time on your hands if you make this much of a big deal out of skittles.

Do the new Rowntrees Randoms keep you up at night?

Whoever it was that decided to paint the diazapam, chloropromazine and Lithium Carbonate different colours and tell the mentals they were skittles deserves a Nobel.

Makes ward control so much easier.

I would actually open the bag & sort them out to see what I'd got (the start eating duplicates first)

I only buy skittles to put in beer, but it HAS to be one of each colour.

Perfectly acceptable behaviour in my book

[rockinatmidnight]

Am I the only one that read the title as 'skittle snorting'? Had me worried there!

[DrTre]

"Taste The Rainbow"....sounds to me like a dodgy sexual practice. I'm steering clear thanks.

[sherman]

I do this as well. You have to sort them in to lines of each colour first and start eating the extras off each line until you get to a point where you have all five lines the same lenght and then start eating them five at a time(one of each).

Apu: Such a beer does not exist, sir. I think you must have dreamed it.
Homer: Oh. Well, then just give me a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles.

Not what I was expecting......
