I sort my colored candies before I eat them. I'm pretty sure other people do this also, but maybe not, because when I shared my answer with this person, they looked at me like, and then told me that I was, crazy.
I guess I should explain. I sort them because I like to know things. Not because I'm OCD- I can scoop up a handful of candies and eat them indiscriminately...but why? Candy is a precious commodoty! It should be nurtured and curated to extend maximize enjoyment. Also, I get bored easily, and I like to play games with my brains. I like patterns and puzzles. When in doubt, DIY.
Flavored candies are easy- sort by color, and eat all of one color in descending order of flavor love. Poor grape- always the first to go, because no one really likes grape candy. Unless there is banana candy, which gives grape a brief stay of execution.
Uniformly flavored candies though- that is a puzzler. Of course, the first step is the same...sort the candy by color, and then sort each color into sets of two. (One for each side of my mouth, duh.) This,of course, prioritizes what gets eaten first: all the single candies, all the single candies, uh uh oh! (Sing it, Queen B.)
Then, of course, you find the color with the least amount of pairs, and this becomes the control group. All other candies are consumed (in pairs) until each color group has the same number. Then, we rotate using the rainbow. Two red, two orange, two yellow, two green, two brown, repeat. Mmmmm....color coded candy consumption.
So that, folks, is one odd personality quirk from yours truly. Now, are you not glad you read this blog?
