Mini M&Ms

[DBP]

I just determined that the current plastic tubes in which mini M&Ms are being sold hold two rolls of 120. I can't guarantee this will be true of all, but the one red one I tried fit two easily. A few years ago they had shorter tubes in different colors, only some of which fit. So YMMV.

...I heard that if they contain ANY green M&Ms that your film will spoil.

I buy the shorter tubes that hold one roll of 120 with just a little extra room... They work great and you get to eat Mini M&Ms. Add a little coffee and you can't loose. =)

Qué? You said a container holds two??
I bought two containers, and each holds just one, with ample "padding" above it. They are the same: MINI M&Ms. And mighty tasty, too.
But it gets better. I bought several: GREEN for new, RED for exposed; YELLOW for "something's not quite right with this roll", BLACK for "@&$&#! DUD" and BLUE for "XXXX stuff". SORTED!
All tubes are now in soapy water to remove the label before I put my own labels on to remind the lab to return 'em. Neato!

You can find anything on APUG

MattKing Ah so—! They come in long size too, yes? In that case, I'm going back down to the supermarket to buy a few more tubes. I got a strange look from the checkout chick. This time I'll show her the containers, minus-labels, with their new look!

I've probably got the mid-size e.g. that holds one roll with space to pack a few of the M&Ms at the top for the lovely girl who does the E6 processing (a creative way to a discount!).
Whatever, this is a cool idea. Perhaps we should now patent it before Apple does?


Erm...I do have one last query. What am I supposed to do with this growing mountain of M&Ms??

You could send them to CGW

Maybe hold a chook raffle. Whoever draws the winning ticket gets a bucket of M&Ms...?
Maybe hold some for Sean for all the good and worthy things he has done for us APUGers? Or just eat 'em? Never seen so many on the desk...

Aren't the red and yellow M&Ms in Chapter 11?
