    Yeah, mostly, providing you're not just leaving them the green ones. The green ones are always the least liked.

    In some cultures, offering someone a Maynard's Wine Gum and presenting a bag containing only green ones is considered poorer etiquette than turning up drunk on their doorstep at five in the morning with a demented monkey who proceeds to throw his leavings at the occupant's mother.

    I actually quite like the green ones, my order of preference is red, green, black, yellow, orange. Not a huge fan of demented monkey leavings, they'd probably be close to the bottom in the wine gum pecking order :)

    Green before black? You speak in jest, surely?

    That's more preposterous than the time I was told that wine gums don't contain alcohol. Well why do they write what booze it contains on the wine gums, eh? Why do they do that?

    Madness!

    Do people just lets other people's comments and behaviour wash over them?
    No. I stew on it.
    Do they go the extra mile that I won't to stay in people's good books?
    Yes.

    Saying that, I can only do so much. If they don't like me, then theres only so much I'm prepared to do.

    I don't know, because I'm not really bothered.

    Like other people have said, i used to care a lot what people think of me. I don't so much now. I generally treat others how I wish to be treated, I try and be nice to everyone and make an effort. I don't give people a reason to dislike me so if someone doesn't like me then that's their problem, not mine.

    In the past if I thought someone didn't like me I would sit around and worry what I did wrong. I used to spend a lot of time trying to get other people to like me until I realised I was trying to get approval from people whom I didn't actually like.

    I seem to have awoken in a strange world that is not my own.

    I'm going for a wander in the wardrobe for a moment... I've been led to believe that might fix things.

    me too - green wine gums, green jelly tots, jelly babies, jelly bears, jelly snakes (you get the picture) green starburst, yum yum yummity yum.

    I'd leave the black ones (or the purple ones in skittles).
