Do different color M&M's taste differently?

[Lola]

I must say that the green ones taste extra sexy and the brown ones extra chocolaty and the blue ones extra sad, and the red ones extra hot....

wait.... no, no they don't.

just like all skittles except for the purple one taste the same, im sure the brown one tastes differently too.





















NOT

I can taste a difference. The brown are my least favorite. My husband thinks I'm nuts but can't stump me on a blind taste test. I can only get them all right on plain m&ms..... The peanut ones throw me between the yellow and the green but I think it's the peanut flavor that gets in the way of the next one. Could it be the layers of food coloring on each individual color? They don't taste like a "blue" or a " yellow " traditional color but you can tell them apart.
