Poll question: Can blue M&Ms survive as a species?

Which of these answers best fits your own learned research into M&Ms? Inquiring minds want to know!

[kick-ass-bob]

1. Green M&Ms are the ones we should be worried about.

[BikeWriter]

4. Is that an assumption, or do you have supportive research?

:shrug:

[kick-ass-bob]

7. I know I eat them faster than the others...

:evilgrin:

[BikeWriter]

10. It sounds as if you've done exhaustive research!

I applaud your professionalism!:applause:

[Deja Q]

11. Green ones would ensure they overpopulate and kill off the others.

:D

[BikeWriter]

16. Wait a minute. If we crossed the blue with green would we have...

turquoise M&Ms?

[Ready4Change]

2. Blue M&M's are an abomination.

A blight on the pimply face of candydom.

[Deja Q]

13. Just like the Blue Man Group.

</intel shills>

[BikeWriter]

38. What is the Blue Man Group?

[MrScorpio]

3. God hates Blue M&Ms

They're gonna burn in hell

[BikeWriter]

8. I'll google that and see if the Bible has any references to it.

[Hugin]

5. So long as there's no Gum Arabic in them... I'm cool with them.

[BikeWriter]

12. Is Gum Arabic bad for us, or is this an ethnic prejudice?

[kick-ass-bob]

14. Don't talk to him. He's a white supremicist!

:silly:

[BikeWriter]

18. Oh, one of them, huh? Thanks for the tip!

[Hugin]

19. ?

[kick-ass-bob]

21. (Arabic reference)

please don't take me seriously, no one else ever does!
:P

[Hugin]

17. No... Seriously, I heard on Morning Sedition today...

Osama bin Missing owns the company that produces most of the Gum
Arabic in use in the US.

No kidding.

[BikeWriter]

20. Oh hell! They're candy terrorists! Go to Condition Red M&M!

[Hugin]

22. Don't take my word for it...

[BikeWriter]

26. I did take your word for it, thanks! I was googling for an url! :-)

[BikeWriter]

27. Snopes says "Not any more."

[Hugin]

30. Did ya take a gander at who was poo-pooing this?

"The National Soft Drink Association"

Yeah, right... And The State Department!

Remember them? The Newsweek caused all of the America
Hate people.

I'll need an independent source.

[BikeWriter]

31. Uh, Loretta Napoleoni is s-e-l-l-i-n-g a book. She's not an...

independent source, either. The whole truth is probably untracable.


"The nugget of truth behind this misguided rumor is that the multibillion-dollar Saudi Binladin Group, owned and controlled by Osama bin Laden's vast family, does indeed have past or present financial ties with such companies as General Electric, Motorola, Shell Oil and Snapple.

The rub, as they say, is that the Binladin Group does not have any financial ties with Osama, the exiled "black sheep" of the family. Admittedly it would be hard to prove that none of Osama bin Laden's dozens of siblings has ever contributed secretly to al Qaeda's coffers, but investigators have found no evidence of this, and both General Electric and Motorola have expressed confidence that the Binladin Group does not contribute to terrorist activities. Other named companies are said to be "monitoring the situation," while still others have severed relationships entirely with SBG to protect their reputations."

33. I had a lengthy reply to this... But, it was lost.

Sure she's trying to sell books... But, the BinLaden's are
trying to sell Gum Arabic.

Whom do I believe? I choose to believe the one who hasn't
threatened to "Kill all Americans."

I find it strange that Snopes piece was done in September 2001.

[BikeWriter]

35. Well, knowing *, he may own gum Arabic, too...

[salvorhardin]

6. I think we should

use blue stem cells in the other M&Ms until we can create the M&M Master Race -- Technicolor M&Ms!

[BikeWriter]

24. Genetically engineered M&Ms? Where will it all end?

[Aiptasia]

9. blue M&Ms, brown M&Ms they're all the same color in the end

[BikeWriter]

25. Yes, and so are we, but in the meantime they are individuals!

[Aiptasia]

29. to quote the life of brian...

I'm not!

I'm a test tube baby.

[BikeWriter]

32. But we are discussing M&Ms, not Brian!

[MissMillie]

15. Not with me around... all M&Ms are in danger (n/t)

.

[Richardo]

23. You and me both. Who has tried the dark chocolate ones?

I haven't seen them yet :cry:

[BikeWriter]

36. Hmm, nor me! :-(

[BikeWriter]

28. All of them? *Gasp!*

[El Fuego]

34. No, natural selection will ensure their rapid extinction.

Because the blue ones will get eaten first!

[BikeWriter]

37. Because they are more attractive?
