It was a hard-fought contest, with a close margin: M&Ms edged out Skittles by only 114 votes. Airheads made an impressive comeback, but it was too little, too late.

I need to say that I’m a wee bit concerned about the total number of votes submitted. I put up the blogpoll about 10:30pm on Friday, so it’s been available a little less than a week. Assuming that most of you sleep about 8 hours, that means the poll has only been available for a little over 100 waking hours. There were 45,161 votes submitted. Given that we only have about 130 teens in our youth ministry, that averages to nearly 350 votes per teen. Or 7.5 votes per minute during waking hours!

Do y’all need something to do?

At any rate, this is kind of fun. Look for shorter, more rational five15 polls in the near future.
