Road-Trip Game with M&Ms

June 17th, 2006 Summit

Here’s a game with M&Ms that my wife and I played during our Maple Canyon trip today. I doubt that it will ever get televised and I don’t think that anyone who is a professional at this game will get paid very much. It is a great game to play when you’re in the company of good friends.

Here’s how you play the M&M game:

1. Get a pack of M&Ms. We used Peanut M&Ms, but I bet you could use any kind. Just be sure to not get those seasonal kind that only have two colors.
2. Show another person the color of the M&M without looking at it.
3. Insert M&M into mouth (your mouth.)
4. Now the fun part….guess what color it is!

Maybe those instructions were unnecisarily complicated. Basically, you’re just trying to guess what color the M&M is by just tasting it. It is pretty tough because they taste so similar. I must say, however, that I am pretty good at guessing the blue ones or if it is a warm color. I’m lost when it comes to anything beyond that.

What do you think? Do M&Ms of different color have different tastes? I think they do, but then my chances of guessing a color right is one in ten if I were to guess according to how I though it tasted. That is kind of funny when you think about how there are only six colors. If I just stuck with one color and guessed it all the time, I am likely to have a one in six chance of getting it right. Interesting.
