Around Azeroth: Tame the rainbow!
Submitter Miacoda of Black Phoenix on Argent Dawn (US-A) recently noticed that the Molten Front hunter challenge spiders, when lined up, match the flavors of the blood-glucose-increasing candy treat Skittles. From left to right, we have Skitterflame, Solix, Anthriss, Kirix and Deth'tilac. Is it all right if I eat all the Skitterflames and Deth'tilacs out of the bag and leave the rest for my guildmates?

M&M's and I call dibs on yellow!

I have always found M&M's to be somewhere between unappealing and disgusting, depending on my mood. I have never understood their popularity.
Skittles, on the other hand, I will kill for...

M&Ms are made up mostly of chocolate - cocoa has a vast appeal for many people, perhaps even producing a certain neurotransmitter in the brain akin to the one produced when a person is in love.
M&Ms have a history. They were originally conceived as the perfect candy for soldiers since the outer coating prevents the chocolate from totally melting in one's hands, as is apt to happen in some of the extreme conditions faced by soldiers.
Skittles, on the other hand, are just chewy pieces of artificially-flavored sugar. I find them (and all other "fruit" candies, such as Starburst) thoroughly disgusting.

I remember hearing something about them changing the recipe recently, because chocolate is going up in price, so that they don't even contain real cocoa (just cocoa butter or something). Still, they do in a pinch.

Duh. The Kirix's are the best!
That one Joey Aug 6th 2011 11:21AM
I will gladly eat them all. Except skitterflame. I hate red skitters.

Face-melting red, tongue-searing orange, throat-dissolving yellow, stomach-ailing green, and lung-choking purple! Taste the deathbow of skitters!

Well, I think I need to rename my Deth'tilac now.
MusedMoose Aug 6th 2011 11:31AM
That's just awesome.

I only have the green one so far >_<

This is one of my favourite Around Azeroths, for certain.

The last class before Easter, I'd always bring in a couple of bags of jelly beans to band class. They were free for the taking ... once I took all the purple and green, that is.
The white ones usually wound up flying around the room like some sort of Blizzard-ized flying maggot monsters.

A BAND GEEK!
*ahem* Sorry.
What instrument? I have a trumpet and trombone in my house.
Tirrimas Aug 6th 2011 12:59PM
Of all of 'em, I like Deth'tilac the best. I'm not likely to ever obtain him (her? it?) but they are pretty. I cheesed it and tamed an orange one from the Widow's Clutch.

Deth'tilac is male. When you try to tame him before Molten Will is gone, you will read "Deth'tilac retains HIS Molten Will!"

I've got Deth and Solix so far! I've missed out on Kirix and Anthriss twice. :( I've not seen Skitterflame even once. Deth and Solix are my two favorites, so I'm very happy to have them, but I still wanna collect 'em all! (And no, I won't be taming any of the non-rare spiders.)

Also... mmm, candy spiders.

I like purples.

Oh sweet! I wake up froms leeping in and see me screenshot on the front page!
