    Sorely lacking in quality control

    I was weighing powder charges for the .308, while eating some peanut M&M's leftover from Halloween. So I put a couple of them (the M&M's) on the scale and they varied from 30 - 60 grains each. I sure am glad they don't manufacture ammo.

    so you put the bullets on the scale?

    It is funny how things written don't always come across the way one would assume on a forum.

    Their quality control is in their taste. was it consistent?

      Perhaps the chocolate ones are more consistent, as they don't have that organic penetrator core that throws things off.....

            Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.

            Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.

            I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.

            Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.

            When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."

            This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.

            There can be only one.

                LOL!!!

                I take two and push them together to see which one cracks first.

                Gotta try that returning one back to M&M/Mars for a coupon trick. That's cool!
