How Do You Eat Your Candy?

[draconis]

I eat coloured candies like M&Ms, Skittles and gummy bears by colour/flavour - the ones I dislike first. I eat all the cookie bits of Oreos, make a giant creme ball and eat it, haha. Grosses my sister out.

I have to eat a Cadbury bar row by row, cube by cube from left to right. If someone eats from the right side, I'll snap off the row and turn it around so it looks like its been eaten from the left side. Weird, much?

Sour patch kids are annoying, 'cause I can never remember which colours I like. So I eat them in really weird orders, since every time I go to eat some I have to try them all to figure out which are the good colours.

I don't really have a pattern. Unless shoving as many as I can into my mouth counts as a pattern...

[Tymaporer]

With M&Ms and the like, I sometimes sort them into colors, usually arranged as close to a square as possible (like 3x3 for nine, 4x3 for twelve...) Then I eat enough to make them all equal, and then stuff the lot of 'em in my mouth.

With Oreos, I try to take off one of the cookies, and if there's a lot of creme on both, I scrape it all onto one. Then I do that with another one, and put them together, and then try to take off a cookie, but usually it's stuck to its own creme, so I just kinda scrape it off, and then I eat the one cookie with double creme (or quadruple, etc.; depends on how many I start with.)

Usually I can't tell the difference between colors in candy at all, but over the past year, I've learned to vaguely distinguish the Starbursts, and have ordered them from favorite to least: yellow, orange, pink, red.

[Cassi]

I don't eat Starbursts anymore, 'cause the ones in the States have gelatine, and the ones here are weird flavours, so I give too many away for it to be worth it. It's very sad.

[Lee]

I always each by color/flavor. I each from least favorite, to favorite. I usually start with orange and end with red.

[Kitten Medli]

I usually DON'T eat candy. xD

[Paul]

It depends how I feel really, but I usually eat sweets with one colour first, or I might not. I'm not that fussed, they all end up in the same place.

The weird flavours here are sometimes good though. Hem hem..*thinks* but starbursts are not my favourite things.

I don't eat candy. I eat sweets.

Just what I was thinking!

And am I the only one who thinks orange smarties taste different? And orange & black jelly beans. And black jelly babies. And red m'N'm's, but green peanut m'N'm's.

If candy is colored, I definitely eat them in a certain order. Like I've been eating Skittles lately, and I eat them in the following order: 1-Grape/Purple, 2-Strawberry/Red, 3-Orange, 4-Lemon and Lime together

[DM was on fire!]

Something like this.

*Grabs packet*

*Empties as many skittles into mouth as unusually large mouth can fit*

*Chew thoughtfully and swallow*

*Several minutes later*

*sugar high*

...that's me, actually. XD

"Candy is a confection made from a concentrated solution of sugar in water, to which a variety of flavorings and colorants is added."



So sometimes, yes, you probably do eat candy.

"Sweets - n - Origin - U.K - Confectionery with a sweet taste, small piece of this, a dessert. Confection made from flavours, colours, sugar and water. Also see- American - Candy pg 46.

My dictionary versus yours. Oh yeah, note the U in flavour and colour.

[Christopher]

I don't know what you're trying to prove Helena considering you might as well have reposted:

solution of sugar in water, to which a variety of flavorings and colorants

Confection made from flavours, colours, sugar and water

and that at the end it says 'see Candy'

However I think it's fairly obvious that both you and Noo as trying to asert some Englishness with Sweets and the letter U. However considering that Asthaloth is also sweet eating and letter U using this seems rather stupid. He has instead called Noo up on literalism by pointing out that Candy and Sweets are in fact the same thing.

Personally, I eat sweets and use the letter U. Candy is more of a stripper name than a foodgroup.

I usually eat them by color, but it depends on what kind of candy it is. With Skittles, I eat my least favorite flavors first so the order is usually green, yellow, purple, orange, and finally red. I like to complicate things. I don't have candy that often anymore though.
