When we were still kids, we had these chewable Vitamin C tablets called Cetrinets. They came in two colors, yellow and green. I don't know for sure if that meant that they came in two flavors as well but I guess they did because the green ones got eaten first.
For the Cetrinets, I can understand why the green ones were preferred over the yellow ones. They tasted better. What I don't understand is why my brother Slash-M prefers the green M&Ms over all the other colors. From then until now, he would single out the green ones in a pack and eat those ones first. He insisted that the green M&Ms tasted better than the ones that come in other colors.
I don't think so, bro.
Several years ago, I decided to put his theory to the test. He was still living at Cebu Avenue then. I opened a pack of M&Ms and asked him to close his eyes. I handed him several M&Ms in different colors then asked him to tell me which one tasted better and whether he could distinguish the green one from the other ones. Needless to say he couldn't identify which one was what color and as far as he could tell they all tasted the same.
In spite the scientific process I adopted, my brother is still in denial over the conclusion. As far as he is concerned, GREEN M&Ms are still the best.
Now that he is living in the States, I can imagine him going for a bag of Christmas M&M's in December and leaving all the red M&Ms for his wife.
