Food Theory: We Need To Talk About The Green M&M

There is a lot of talk out there about the Green M&M. She's gone through some... iterations, but that is NOT what we are talking about today. At least, not the most important thing. What I'm looking to see is if green M&Ms can help you get LUCKY! Think of this as the spiritual successor to our chocolate episode a while back.

I know that if I were in a study, and a bowl of singular-colored candy was presented to me, I would be distracted by trying to figure out what the study was trying to discover, whereas being in a room with a bowl of normal distribution candy colors, I would assume they were just there as a bonus snack to help the subjects focus on the task at hand. Maybe that's a future theory too, "does eating while doing a task help you focus?"

food theory idea: could eating food you dont like actually make you sick

edit: that question sounded better in my head, but now i realize its just dumb so nevermind

As an irish lad i rarely heard 1st base etc we just ask no hidden meaning words it's just " have u shifted " "have u done IT with her/him/them" "yous are together ?/ together now" and the questions can start (depending on which county or friends ur with ) from "yous are together" to" have u shifted" or" yous are together ?" Whats he/she / or are they like etc etc

I love how hard MatPat is trying to keep this family friendly.

I like it how the original photo of MatPat's cutout he uses still looks like it's been photoshopped in

Food Theory Idea: Are banana peels really slippery? What makes them slippery? Are other fruit peels slippery? Which peel is the slipperiest?

When I was young I recall reading that British soldiers in WW2 would keep their green Smarties (a candy-coated chocolate like M&Ms) to throw into the grass when they returned home. Why? So their kids would spend the afternoon trying to find them, while dad was inside making up for lost time with mom.

Tried to find a reference online, but can't find one. But as M&Ms are inspired by Smarties, the connection is there — assuming some author wasn't lying to me!

Back in my ELEMENTARY and middle school, we had "The Tree". You start at the "dirt" and when you get to the top branch, you're married lol
The dirt being: they don't know you exist

I hypothesize that a mixed bowl of color is possibly more "fun" thus leading to a higher rating than just a plain color, no matter what color that is

[ice_agebaby]

I feel like everyone's overlooking the most probable fact that the green m&m was the first and only female mascot for years

[Borrego]

The fact that i literally eating m&m's while watching the video lol 😂

[Half_Baked]

3:32 Alright, Alright, you have officially convinced me to rewatch every office epsiode

[veeva]

I honest to god didn't even know that there was such a thing as the green m&m making you in the mood.
Also, as a Dutch person, as far as I know we don't really have things like first and second base like you guys have over in the USA, though I am also 23 and didn't date at all in my high school years so maybe I just missed out on that stuff. Who knows really

[fishybrickfilms]

Can we all appreciate how hard mat pat is trying to not get demonetized

[TideSnowstar]

The Green Ones make me _ _ _ _ _! is my new Kermit LOL line.

Green is my favorite. I told my husband who bought a little bag and big bag of M&M's. He separated the green ones and handed me the little pack he taped back together. I opened it and laughed. It was Valentine's Day. It was my favorite Valentine's Day gift ever. I dont remember them making bags of green M&M's only. I'm sad that I missed that.

As a german, i can say it took me years to figure out what the whole "bases" thing means in detail, we dont have a really common methaphor here, we get straight to the point !^^
