Skittles - I like to emoty them out of the packet and arrange them in triangles of the same colour (all the red ones together, all the purple ones. etc). I then eat all the extras so all the triangles are the same size, then work my way along green, yellow, orange, purple, red until they're all gone. Apparently this is odd.
If I'm just grabbing some for a sugar hit when I'm out, I try to subtly eat all the greens, then all the yellows, then... etc from the packet, but it's just not the same.
Those skittles where all the colours and flavours were mixed up were wrong and deeply disturbing.

I like the mixed up skittles! but then my normal skittle eating method is to pour them down my throat by the handful. om nom nom.
I was disappointed when I bought some 'rainbow carrots' and they didn't taste of skittles...

I do something similar with Smarties. I have to empty the tube onto the table then arrange them in the correct colour order. The blues get eaten first because they are just wrong and the orange last.
Once I was given several tubes and I arranged them into single colour tubes, which I then ate in the correct order

Like Miss Amanda: quote:
As for habits -- each time I visit a restaurant, I order the same dish as I had ordered there before.
Every time we go to a certain food court, I now go in thinking 'I'll have something different this time', and then I go straight to the roast dinners (while the Grandad goes to the Chinese smorgasbord).
Last week I was floored, as the roast place was closed for alterations. So I went to Chinese and was most disappointed, though I'd enjoyed it sometimes in the past.

Me too. I'm hopelessly unimaginative in restaurants.
Whenever i move to a new area, the first stationery shop, grocery store, petrol station, coffee shop or dry cleaners etc that I visit (and if it's alright) is the only one I'll go to from then on - unless they screw it up somehow.

It depends on the restaurant. If I'm at Montana's, I have sirloin steak with mashed potatoes, sweetcorn and mushrooms, but then that's sort of what Montana's is there for.
If a restaurant does a dish that I know I like, then yes - I may well go for it again, but not to the exclusion of anything else.

As someone who can sometimes be quite indecisive in restaurants (should I have the duck? maybe the beef would be nicer? how about the fish special, that won't be on the menu again any time soon?), I'd be interested to know how those of you who always order the same thing manage to resist any kind of temptation to order anything else.

TBH; it's not that I never order anything different, but if I've had the *whatever* before, and I know it was good, then I'm more likely to be swayed by own experience than by a tempting picture or menu description.
When I go to a restaurant for the first time I can be quite adventurous.
