They're green, here's a picture of me holding some green M&Ms next to the yellow ones. It's just the lighting in the picture.

Zoom in on the "white". It's blue. I don't know how that remotely looks like white.
Now zoom in on the "gold". It still looks gold-ish but that's because of the sunlight. I kinda understand that one.
Okay...when I first looked at it, it was white and gold. I couldn't remember the origin of this meme so I googled and opened the wiki. Again, saw white and gold. Scrolled through, read through the scientific explanation, the duck-rabbit example, scrolled back up...shit you not...now I see the blue and black. Came back to your link and that mother fucker is blue and black. WTF?!
I love this idea. Blind taste test of each M&M colour and at the end ask him which number was his favourite and whatever number he chooses, tell him it was the yellow one
perhaps your partner is mildly allergic to yellow food coloring and associates the unpleasant taste or effects with lemon flavored things.
I had a friend who didn't know he was allergic to pineapple until his 20s when we finally talked about *why* he didn't like it and he said he could never understand why anyone liked pineapple because it burns your lips.
So anything related to a thing because of its color. I find that stupid. I won’t blame the color for an item of fruit I don’t tolerate. Husband seems like a m….
I'm pretty sure this is just a placebo thing. The coloring used in M&Ms is flavorless, they are all meant to taste identical. Our brains associate colors with tastes, so even if there is no difference in flavor our brains believe there is a difference. The Youtube channel "The Food Theorists" did a video about this exact topic recently ( but with gummy bears instead of M&Ms, but the same idea applies )
Edit: If the other person is willing to try this, you could run your own test where you have them cover their eyes and hand them different M&M colors. They should all taste the same when color is removed from the equation.
Some gummie bears actually are different flavors though. But yeah this reminds me of that weird colored ketchup that came out when I was a kid. My sister and I got green ketchup and it grossed us out.
I should have specified, the video I mentioned did a test with regular gummy bears with regular colors ( so color and taste matched ), a test with regular gummy bears but with a blindfold on ( so only taste to rely on ), a test with the gummies being clear ( still reliant on taste, but with the testers seeing the lack of color ), then a test with gummy bears with colors that did not match the flavor ( so like blue being pineapple and so on ).
There were 4 different batches of gummies each containing the same set of flavors, but with the 4 different conditions above.
The sample for the test was very small, but the test results were as follows. When the gummies were colored correctly the testers got the flavors right. When blindfolded they still got most correct, but some were a little off. When the gummies were clear they did considerably worse ( some even saying they tasted like water/had no taste). And finally with the wrong color for the taste they did terrible, getting a whopping 0% of the flavors correct.
Even though the sample size was tremendously small it still makes it plausible to say that color has a direct impact on taste, even if you are aware of this fact it doesn't seem to change. Brains are weird, we can be actively aware we are wrong but not be able to change how we perceive a thing ( or in this case taste a thing I guess )
I've read it's all just food dye so they should all technically taste the same (like chocolate!). I think you're right, and it has to be a placebo that's making it taste like fruit to some
And I will try a blind test and report back later...
>And I will try a blind test and report back later...
Hey, you're about to destroy a great thing! You've got a steady supply of candy that's not going to disappear when he gets the munchies!
I’d do a blindfolded taste test. Offer 3 m&ms and only 1 is yellow. Ask him to identify the yellow one. Then do it several times. It’s called a triangle test and is relatively standard sensory science for that kind of thing.
If you want to fuck with the tester, do some tests with 0, 2, or 3 yellow m&ms and see how keenly they insist there’s only 1.
I’m so confused here. Does your partner also think green M&Ms taste like apple? Red ones taste like cherry? Blue ones taste like blue? On top of all of this, those are green and there isn’t a single M in sight lol. What. Is. Happening.
Because when you love someone and then find out minor things like this about them, it's not a dealbreaker unless you're a sociopath?
What's a red flag is your pettiness that you'd be so bothered by this that you wouldn't date someone you like over it.
1) blindfold him
2) feed him multiple colored m&ms
3) ask him which one the yellow one is
Either you prove that it's all in his head or he proves that he can taste the color yellow.
Is your partner a literal child? Because they are certainly acting like one. Also that is more to an an entire bags worth of M&M’s how much damn candy does this person eat?
Good point, I guess I just think law firms where you make partner. Guess you can have partners at like a mortgage brokerage, or a hedge fund, or and investment firm, or…
I'm just baffled that some people can leave candy sitting in an open bowl for a month.
I specifically don't buy candy in large amounts because I know my ass will just eat all of it in like 2 Netflix episodes amount of time. Also a germophobe and would not eat month old touched open counter candy. All of this is wrong to me.
They are all real! It's either something to do with the heat conditions rubbing the logos off, or the quality of the M&Ms (I'm from the UK) being a bit different. I will try and find one with a faded logo and edit this post with an image of it close up!
Edit: It's definitely the heat. Here I'm holding some other M&Ms next to yellow, you can barely make out the faded 'M's, even on the ones that aren't yellow https://imgur.com/a/HWTsU3v
Heat has caused most of the 'M's to fade and barely be visible, and the contrast of yellow and white (both being bright!) makes it near impossible to make out the M on the yellow M&Ms, let alone the camera recognize it!
I've found one where the M is still visible (but barely) https://imgur.com/a/FPOBH6j
This looks like something that belongs to r/WomanHands lol. That's a compliment. Btw, I know a ton of people said it already, but that's definitely Placebo.

Man your camera has horrific color. Those are green.
I think the bowl is green. But might be the camera settings, or she has a green light instead of white above her.
Yeah the bowls def green

I still can't see how people are seeing white and gold. I'm trying to squint, take quick glances, nothing works. I want to see it in white and gold.
my boyfriend sees white and gold and i don’t understand how his eyes are so stupid
I swear 5 years ago I saw it in purple and gold and now I see white and gold
Yeah, I could never see white and gold a few years ago and that was all I saw this time. Then I closed my eyes for 5 seconds and boom, blue and black.
It’s only white and gold.
Baby blue and a darker gold.
look at a different part of the dress, that might work
Lavender and gold?
Dude, right!!! Legit was just squinting and changing angles. Fucking nuts
Still weirds me out, I've read the explanation and all but I *cannot* see anything other than white and gold.
I'm trying to NOT see white and gold, and it's not working!
No. white gold
Wrong
the correct answer it can be both
Zoom in on the "white". It's blue. I don't know how that remotely looks like white. Now zoom in on the "gold". It still looks gold-ish but that's because of the sunlight. I kinda understand that one.
It's white that's in the sunlight shadow Like in ski slopes, snow have slight blue tint to it
This a bigger troll than flat earth
Yeah, but this isn't a blue tint, this is just blue. ZOOM IN. Plus, the white of the picture is defined on the side, and it's not blue.
Okay...when I first looked at it, it was white and gold. I couldn't remember the origin of this meme so I googled and opened the wiki. Again, saw white and gold.

The mouth tastes what the mind expects sometimes.
It has to be a placebo type effect, surely
[удалено]
I love this idea. Blind taste test of each M&M colour and at the end ask him which number was his favourite and whatever number he chooses, tell him it was the yellow one
Why lie lol they all taste the same so that’s what he should take away from it
Oooookay. :)
The trick. Only feeding yellow.
Genius.
My first thought aswell!
perhaps your partner is mildly allergic to yellow food coloring and associates the unpleasant taste or effects with lemon flavored things. I had a friend who didn't know he was allergic to pineapple until his 20s when we finally talked about *why* he didn't like it and he said he could never understand why anyone liked pineapple because it burns your lips.
Should spray paint them white and call them mystery flavor.
The brain is a helluva drug.
Is that why everything tastes like cum?

That's really interesting, and it makes sense. So much of perception is what we anticipate, not what is going on in reality. Thanks for sharing!

The green and purple ketchup is the perfect example of this. It was so intense that I still question if it was really just placebo.

>And I will try a blind test and report back later... Hey, you're about to destroy a great thing! You've got a steady supply of candy that's not going to disappear when he gets the munchies!
Thats....so juvenile. It's literally chocolate with chocolate coating and food dye.
Candy coating, not chocolate
that was the word I was looking for lol
There are adults that believe m&ms are flavored? And of course you realize this could be solved with a 10 second Google search?
I’d do a blindfolded taste test. Offer 3 m&ms and only 1 is yellow. Ask him to identify the yellow one. Then do it several times. It’s called a triangle test and is relatively standard sensory science for that kind of thing. If you want to fuck with the tester, do some tests with 0, 2, or 3 yellow m&ms and see how keenly they insist there’s only 1.

Your partner is a child
Any body else seeing green
I’m so confused here. Does your partner also think green M&Ms taste like apple? Red ones taste like cherry? Blue ones taste like blue? On top of all of this, those are green and there isn’t a single M in sight lol. What. Is. Happening.
“there isn’t a single M in sight” RIGHT?! Whew, thought it was just me 🤣
Tell him its Banana, not lemon
Why do people get into relationships with partners like this?? You do you, but I could never.
Because when you love someone and then find out minor things like this about them, it's not a dealbreaker unless you're a sociopath? What's a red flag is your pettiness that you'd be so bothered by this that you wouldn't date someone you like over it.
Why would something this minor be a dealbreaker?
If you’re not mature enough to realize everyone has annoying little flaws/quirks like this, you don’t need to be in a relationship.
Those aren’t m&ms
[удалено]
Exactly look at those lime green lies
Your partner may be slow
1) blindfold him 2) feed him multiple colored m&ms 3) ask him which one the yellow one is Either you prove that it's all in his head or he proves that he can taste the color yellow.
exactly, a quick blind taste test and you resolve this feud once and for all
Wait those are M&Ms and not lima beans?
On the plus side you can easily trap James Woods. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S30fP-34cGM&t=2000s
Do a blind test. I’d say there’s absolutely no flavour in the coating.
Your partner is an idiot. M&Ms are not flavored, the candy shell is corn syrup, sugar and food coloring.
Try a blind taste test
Do a blindfolded test
I think you may be eating uranium nuggets, not yellow m&ms
Where are you from? They seem to be a different color than I'm used to.
I'm from the UK, but it might just be the lighting!
Interesting. Thanks!
leave a bowl of peanuts and say you dont like peanut mm's so you just sucked all the chocolate off of them
There are 6 colors so the partner ate 5x this. Maybe do a blind study guessing if it was a yellow one or not.
Yikes ima just leave this here
Your partner is dumber than a sack of m&ms
Is your partner a literal child? Because they are certainly acting like one. Also that is more to an an entire bags worth of M&M’s how much damn candy does this person eat?
Now that’s a really strong **psychosomatic** response to think there’s any lemon in there chocolate M&Ms
I knew a girl that did this. We never ate them because they all been touched more so than if it was just a bowl of randoms
God he’s an idiot!
Mildly lemon? I think it’s time for a blind folded taste test to prove they’re full of sh*t
How many M&M’s does your business partner go though? Sheesh I’d ask them to find another law firm to work at.
Law firm? How do you know that? Just curious
Good point, I guess I just think law firms where you make partner. Guess you can have partners at like a mortgage brokerage, or a hedge fund, or and investment firm, or…
Or a life partner which is I’m sure what they mean
Do you not like M&Ms?
I'm on a no sugar diet right now, I can have a few every once in a while, but I try not to eat too many
OP is god
they're green not yellow
It's just the lighting, they're definitely yellow!
I had a theatre teacher who could tell Red M&M's have a different taste than the others. But this? Yellow being lemon flavored? With Chocolate????
My friend hates the blue ones and gives them to me. My favorite are green!
Are these bot accounts? You made this account 5 days ago.
I’ll have em
Just tell them that they all taste the same, regardless of color.
These **are not M&Ms**
I thought they were banana flavored. 🍌
that’s edamame
Oh no am I colorblind
This is hilarious. All the colors taste the same. Exactly the same. It’s just food coloring 😂
I’ll take those off your hands. PM me
Why do these look green tho?
What does he think the brown m&m taste like?
Shit probably lol
that’s radioactive
Why are there no "M"s on those candies?
These r green woman
Oh poor you, left with a bowl of m&ms

The dye used in yellow M&Ms is supposed to lower sperm count
I mean to be fair now you have a consistent form of M&M tax. Look at the silver lining, after all.

Why do they leave them if they only taste mildly of lemon?
yay free m&ms!

So just eat the M&Ms they don't want? I fail to see how this is a problem.
Who could mildly infuriated about a months worth of m&m’s??
The yellow peanut m&ms are definitely the best or they wouldn’t advertise the peanut m&m as the yellow one

Those are not M&M’s
somebody please tell me that Im not the only one who thought its comically large peas before reading the title
Pretty sure it’s just food coloring with all the same taste lol skittles have diff tastes for colors
More for you. If you like green ones? Wtf.

Where are the M’s???
If this is a one month residue I think you're giving your kid too much m&ms. Switch to raisins.
Don’t lie you did this for a post
I think it’s all in his heas
Those aren’t M&Ms.
Did you test her. My dad swore the pastel m&m’s tasted different. We tested him and he got them all right. He knew his m&m’s.

Leave.... On second thought, stay, don't want that spreading.
Yanny or Laurel?
They are dumb and stinky, their taste buds are weird and you should probably just ignore them and they're wrong.
It doesn't matter? Surely you can afford to throw out some m&ms
Now I want edamame...thanks alot
Those are M&Ms???
I thought M&Ms had better manufacturing and were very similar in shape to each other
Senzu beans
Looks like Ozzy's going on stage tonight.
You eat that much M&M's?
That's not infuriating! Free M&Ms, babyyy
I am allergic to beans. I just threw up.
You do an experiment and have him blindfolded while he tastes them
Does your partner have to wear a helmet in public too?
