Did you guys not read the question properly is asks of the - blue dye used in the m&m's- could help with the spinal cord injuries, not the m&m's themselves this is how ppl get tricked you must read carefully. And Van Halen are smart simple details like that can reveal how thorough the promotors are.

Even though i got #5 correct I think it's important to not that the red M&M's were discontinued temporarily for 11 years, they haven't been discontinued since 1985. I found that answer misleading suggesting that they still are.

Your quiz is actually wrong. Blue M&Ms are not part of a treatment for spinal cord injuries. The blue dye is ... no M&Ms or any other candy were used in the experiments.
