Greetings Rands readers!

@Bill: I think they taste better when you nibble all around the edges like that.

@sandrift: Interesting; I eat Sweet Tarts out of the roll one at a time, no shucking or sorting necessary, and yet a Sweet Tart is bears a strong internal resemblance to a Smarty. I think the difference must be because A. Sweet Tarts are difficult to nibble, and B. I'm not sure that despite the different colors that Sweet Tarts actually have flavors (other than, you know, sweet and tart). Lack of flavor would not preclude obsessive behavior, however. Obviously I must do further research. Lots and lots of further research.

@Danno: There's no adventure in that.

@Chris: Pervert.

No, you've got it all wrong, you have to go from lightest to darkest. Whites are the first ones you eat. Purple comes last. I also only eat 1 roll at a time.

What about shucking the smarties straight from the package to your mouth? Too low class?

Does this also apply to Sweet Tarts (but ending at purple because there's no white)?

I just eat them as they come, but I do chew the ridge off of every single one and then eat the little flat disc that's left.

This is essentially my method, except my wife commandeers step eight every single time.

No, no, no no. Steps 7 & 8 are all right, but steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 are somehow in reverse order. Odd.

Is there a difference in processes for "large" Smarties and small Smarties?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who eats the white ones last.
