Of course, if they were Reese's Pieces, then it's like 50:50.

Assume a 1.5 oz bag with 6 different colors, 9 m&m of each color.  Total of 54 pieces in bag.  Probability of drawing seven consecutive of the same color is:

P = (9/54 * 8/53 * 7/52 * 6/51 * 5/50 * 4/49 * 3/48), which is roughly 1 in 5 million.

This is the probability of drawing the seven immediately upon opening the bag.  If you ate some non-orange m&m's before pulling your seven, then the probability would increase. 


every fool in the world knows that there are more orange m&ms than other colored m&ms. even i know this and i quit eating m&ms years ago because of how garbage of a candy they are. this post and this whole thread is just one big joke after one failed punchline that written by horrible writers with even worse timing. take it to the local yakshack amateur night fellas. good grief why do i even bother.  :flush:

good lord, 21%!  Seems like you'd hit _33's number roughly every 3 packs.

I've seen a McDonalds with a catfish rough ridin' buffet. No bullshit.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

McDonalds has a lot of regional products.  Like the Angus burger...you can eat that in our area, but if you go somewhere else in the country they won't have it.  I had a lobster roll and crab cake at a McDonalds in Maine once.   :sdeek:

some KC area McD franchise owners told me that KC is home of the Double Filet-o-Fish.  cannot confirm.

I got four yellow out of first four. Remembering this thread, I logged the rest of my draws. There turned out to be 10/21 yellow in the bag. So, 3.5% chance for first four yellow. Of course, the draw may not have even been random in the first place if the colors weren't sufficiently mixed for whatever reason.

maybe yellow candy coating is lighter than the others, so those Ms floated to the top.    :Wha:
