If you were given a brown paper bag with candles, matches, M&M'S, glue, and paint what would you do with it?

Light the candles, eat the M&Ms, and sniff the glue and paint. Nah. Just kidding. I'd probably play with the matches, burning the candles, put glue and paint on the bag and light it on fire, play with the wax from the candle, maybe see how long it takes an M&M to completely melt over a flame. Lots of stuff just for craps and giggles. Well, mostly giggles.

Wonder why the Hell I was being given such an odd collection of stuff.

Eat M&M's while I paint a yukky face on the brown paper bag, put the candle inside, use matches to light the candle, carefully glue the bag shut, and set it on the nasty neighbor's porch.

Eat the M&M's, obviously.
I'd hold on to the rest for future use.
I don't think this is what you're after, sorry...it's probably what I'd do, though!

eat the M&Ms, paint, & then use the lit candles to 'age' the painting while adding a few drops of wax to the 'parchment' ... assuming I could paint.

I'd keep the matches, eat the M&M's, give Laura the paint and throw away the rest.

Eat the M&Ms, put the candles and matches in the emergency kit, and put the glue and paint in the craft box.

Eat the M&M's, store the matches somewheres safe, or burn them out just for fun, store the candles for later, put the glue away in case I need it later, use the paper brown bag to store a sandwitch when I go out someweres like work or school.

I have no idea. Probably put the paint, matches, candles and glue in the pantry and find someone to give the M & M's to.

First I would eat the M&M's. Then I would set the bag and the candles on fire. I would save the glue for when I build things and the paint for when I paint something.

After a long thought...I would glue the m and m's on the outside of the paper bag in a fowl language bad word. And after everyone saw it and was good and upset, I would light the candle inside the paper bag till it melted the word(s) away and the police couldn't prove a thing.

Why is this rating so low? Are we that unimaginative??? I didn't even think of eating the mand m's till I read what everyone else said.

That's the best answer I've seen yet. Imagination is a good thing (or so I keep telling myself).

If my daughter was around, she'd eat the M&M's. I'd use the matches to light the candles, and then glue their carcasses to the paper bag, after decorating the bag with paint. How many colors do we have? Probably make one of those cheesy paper bag hand puppets.

i would make a hand puppet out of it. I would use the glue to mount the candles on the top as hair, then light them with the matches. Then paint a face on it and then eat the m&m's.

I'd let my daughter use the paint to decorate the bag. She could also use the glue to add more decoration. We'd light the candle and try to get my son to blow it out (he doesn't know how to blow air out of his mouth effectively and we've been practicing this), and I'd let my kids eat the M&M's.

Bizarre scenario.

Put the glue, paint, and candles in the bag, light it on fire with the matches, then watch it burn while eating the M&Ms. Yay for the environment!

Dur, First I'd take the candles and light them using the matches...to create a..uh..soothing atmosphere..or..uh something..Then, I'd eat the M&Ms..cuzz well, M&Ms are tasty..After that, I'd pour the glue some place and mix in the paint..and let it dry then peel it up..Like I did back in the day when I was in elementary school..Because that was always fun..Then I'd dance because that's what you're supposed to do when you have lit candles..Then I'd take them and put them up to the paper bag and scorch two holes..big enough for my eyes..I'd then proceed to put the bag over my head..(and if it wouldn't fit, I'd make it..) and I'd run around scaring the bejeezus outta people...But maybe that's just me..

What is this link supposed to go to? It took me to a Yahoo news page with a bunch of headlines, but nothing mentions M&M's... unless I am missing something. Which is probably the case.

Apparently the link no longer takes you directly to the story. Sorry about that.

I would make a paper bag cake. I would fill it up with M&Ms, glue the candles on & light them. Sing Happy Birthday to myself. Blow out the candles & eat all of the M&Ms.

I'd light the candles, glue them down, and casually start eating the M&Ms (and inevitably start wondering how they burn). I'd also start painting on a piece of paper, starting with some huge idea which turns into a mess.
