Proper Way to Eat M&Ms

The only proper way to eat M&Ms (for me, as a borderline OCD type) is to separate them by color first, and then eat them one at a time in the following order (this is for standard M&M colors; seasonals can cause extra thought and discomfort):

1. Brown
2. Red
3. Yellow
4. Green
5. Orange & Blue -- These are the exception to the one at a time rule.  These are paired together as evenly as possible given the number of each color you have and are then eaten together in pairs.  If there is one odd orange or blue left over after pairing, you must eat that one first and then eat the rest by pairs.  If there are several more of one color than the other, you must pair two of the more plentiful with one of the less plentiful as many times as necessary to achieve either a one-to-one ratio or two-to-one ratio in each grouping, and then eat each grouping together.
