Pretty sure those aren’t mutually exclusive.

Then there's me, who groups then up and eats them in groups sorted by color.

Or me, who arranges them as close to rainbow order as possible (brown is sorta close to purple right? No? Oh well), eats the extras, then eats the rest in rainbow order.

Froot loops are a whole other story.

I always eat 2 M&M's of the same color but on either side of my mouth.

If I mess something up (2 on left side, or green on left red on right for example) I have to even it out for the next bite (2 on right side, or red on left and green on right) otherwise I'll lose my "M&M streak" and I don't wanna eat em anymore.
