Hmm, we say someone LOOKS green when they are sick..............
so does envy make us sick - or - come FROM being sick(inthemindsick!)???
I'm saying this MOSTLY tongue in cheek, truth is I have no idea how the adage came about!

Jealousy- wishes they had what you have, or wish they could do what you can do.

Found this- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envy
In English-speaking cultures, envy is often associated with the color green, as in "green with envy". The phrase "green-eyed monster" refers to an individual whose current actions appear motivated by jealousy not envy. This is based on a line from Shakespeare's Othello. Shakespeare mentions it also in The Merchant of Venice when Portia states: "How all the other passions fleet to air, as doubtful thoughts and rash embraced despair and shuddering fear and green-eyed jealousy!"

Does Lady Green M and M have green eyed envy?

I found this too!

((((Think they'll ever make a pink M&M? Then the lady Green with Envy can have a girlfriend to take a break from all those colorful guys))) LOL

Thanks, Julie

There are pink m &m's every now and then in the holiday mixes, like for Easter for example. If I recall correctly, they gave pink as an option when they were getting rid of the tan ones and were looking to replace them with another color but it lost out in the public polling to blue. I was about to ask why they never considered making another color a gal in the commercials but then another thought dawned on me - why did they ever make them into guys and gals in the first place? Does that really make people want to eat more of them...and if so, should those people be looked into for cannibalistic tendencies?

This is great! Why is a yellow streak associated with being a coward?

What does it mean to feel blue? What does blue have to do with depression?

It's all black and white! LOL! We just don't know why!
