When I was a little girl, I used to take all of the marshmallow shapes out of my Lucky Charms and pile them up in order, pink then yellow then green then orange, and squish them together into a stack of compressed sugar, as tall a pile as I could crush between my small fingers without it toppling over. I'd eat it, then I'd pour milk over the plain cereal and eat that.
I was kind of an obsessive kid, really.

M&M-type products, for example, would be segregated by color into homogeneous clusters (shades of apartheid), and the colors I didn't like would be eaten first. Blue or brown were usually last.

Wow. What happened? The blues staged a revolt and injected mass quantities of Blue No. 5 directly into your spinal column?
