I sort M&M's by color and won't eat the blue ones.

Why? The blue ones went bad.

They are supposed to be tan.

There are no truly blue foods in nature (blueberries are purple, okay?).

Blue things, like bleu cheese have gone bad. They are mouldy, and should not be consumed.

Therefore the blue M&M's are bad and should not be eaten.

You think I'm crazy, don't you? Do you know what I do when I have enough blue M&M's saved up? I put them back into the bag, put the bag in a puffy envelope, and mail it all back to M&M/Mars company.

They send me a nice form letter apologizing about any trouble I had with their product.

I get along with this two coupons. One for a free pound bag of M&Ms.

And another for $2.50 off any M&M purchase.

For the record, I would have had NO PROBLEM with them adding blue to the mix. It's the deletion of tan to make room for the blue that was a problem.

I have issues with Crayola for similar reasons.
