thats an interesting thread.
i make no distinction for color or count. only with jelly bellies do i eat them individually, and only because they're so strongly flavored.
i do try to eat peanut m&m's one or two at a time by melting them down to the peanut before biting, but i have to concentrate, or i wind up just crunching them up.
