I just dropped a peanut M&M on my office floor... Should I eat it? It's red, cracked a bit, and I wiped off some of the stuff that got on it. I'll try and help with any questions you might have. First decision with 5 votes wins. Let your voice be heard. Vote or die!

The Mythbusters think it's a bad idea.

The Farrelly brothers also think it's a bad idea.

Wait, you work in a Level 5 Pathogen Biohazard Lab, don't you?

Meh. I say eat it.

Eat it. Any ill-effects from dust or bacteria or whatever will be totally overshadowed by the negative health effects of the red dye. So just don't worry about it. Pop the sucker in your mouth and enjoy.

okay, that's five, sorry Dalek, you can only vote once, and bringing celebrities in was a nice try...here goes...

okay, i'm eating it. Everything seems okay so far... still chewing...

This would be a good reality show. No?
I can tell you are all riveted...Now that I've eaten it, how do I keep your interest piqued for another 19 minutes?

You look good in a dress and stripes.

Woah...Deja Vu.

Hell yes.

I'm glad you ate it. As I clicked on this thread, I worried that you hadn't eaten the M&M and I would become irritated by that. The next test is this: if it had not been an M&M, but rather a piece un-coated, slightly melted chocolate, would you still haven't eaten it?

not...feeling...so...good.
Uh, wish I could remove that floor picture now.

What should I do now?

posted by Hellbient 24 May | 16:11

hmmm mullacc...i think it depends on the chocolate. But if it feel the same way the M&M did, I think yes, the answer would be yes.
Yes, I'm going with "yes".

Smart Dalek, that is a bit curious. I remembered the original thread, but never saw the follow up with the "memorial site". So I clicked on it, and it redirects to the Shroomery. Very odd I must say.

Hmmmm. I was going to propose an amendment to motion by adding "rub between your palms to get the grotty stuff off" before eating it. Too late. Oh well.

...it rolled off the table (desk?), and onto the floor, and oh my poor peanut, rolled out of the door...

It's all good.

Yes, but microwave it for 5 minutes on hi first
