taste the rainbow

When you eat a food or candy that comes in multiple colours or shapes (e.g. Skittles, M&Ms, Circus Animal cookies...), do you sort them by colour or shape before you eat them? If so, do you then eat them in some kind of order, or just pick at random?

I tend to sort my snacks. I'm not really sure why (other than liking organization); I picked up the sorting of M&Ms when I was quite young, perhaps 6 years old, from children of other people that my mother bowled with at the time. Personally I usually then go in order of my least favourite to most favourite flavour or colour. (This also makes it easy to, for example, sort out all the black Jujyfruits from a box and get rid of them at the start.)

I am having vivid memories of getting bags of M&Ms at the Ice Capades in Vallco mall, sorting them into colors, splitting them with my girlfriend (1/2 of each color for each of us), then eating them in order from the "bad" colors to the "good" colors. (as I recall, brown, tan, orange, yellow, red... was there green then? it would have been between orange and yellow or yellow and red). Like it even makes a difference with M&Ms, since they all /taste/ the same, but it was /very/ important at the time...
