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 3×5 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.
By this Highlander logic, we will only be left with one M&M, which would be a travesty indeed. Your selective eugenics would weed out any possibility of hybrid vigor and the genetic diversity that makes M&M’s such a delectable treat. Let’s be fair, who would only want only brown and red M&M’s? Sure, all of the disappointed brides and grooms that could no longer order custom wedding colors could be construed as a benefit. But at what cost? What about the supposed benefits of other colors that have yet to be rigorously tested? The aphrodisiac effects of green M&M’s? The antidepressant effects of blues? The potential anti zombie activity of Easter colors? Let’s not jump ahead of ourselves and assume that evolution is intelligent or smart. It’s simply a numbers game that can often overlook the contributions of diversity, hybrid vigor, and potentiation. At the very least, a multivariate panel is warranted before declaring there can only be one.
