There can be only one!

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 theatre 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

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.
