Life, The Universe and M&Ms

i was thinking about M&Ms... mainly because i was eating them at the time, natch... the red ones are considered to be superior somehow, don't ask me how that one came about. but that's the situation. red = best. eat them last.

well, i don't sit there and eat them last but i do shake a few out, separate those few into their different colours and then eat them by those colour groupings (i think i developed that habit during boring history classes in high school). but overall, red is the "best colour". so why do they (wicked "they", hmmm) always fill half the packet with brown ones?

and if someone was to open their M&Ms one day to find an entire packet of red ones, would they feel like their life was now complete and perfect? no! they'd feel cheated because there was no variety. red would equal boring. we'd want those damn brown ones back, quick smart.

postscript:

anyone wonder why they've added a new colour? hmm? (well ok it's a reminder advertising ploy, but let's ignore that for a minute).

blue ones? i think we have a little turf war happening here...
