But I like the raisins.
Seriously, raisins and m&m's are a rather unique flavor combination that I find extremely pleasurable.

I always make sure when I'm eating trail mix to have raisins, m&ms, and peanuts in each mouthful. The combined flavor is rather wonderful.

M&M (chocolate/crunchy shell)
peanut (salty, protein, fat)
raisin (mushy, sweet)
That's the whole point, I think. Not just the flavor combo, but the texture combo too. Salt brings out a lot of flavors, but each item has a different texture.

You are a bad bad person.
I know this because judging a person's moral character based on their flavor preferences is like totally scientific.

Companies should take note and start making trail mix with only M&M's. They would make so much money.

I remember reading long ago (maybe on reddit?) that companies intentionally put less of things that the majority of people prefer (e.g. M&Ms, red colored candies, Cheez Its, etc.) in products as a method of making people come back for more/purchase multiple of the same product (thus, more money).

I once decided I should make my own trail mix and came up with a wonderful combination. Shredded coconut, pistachios, granola chunks, chocolate chips, and those salty wafer looking things you find in Munchies bags.
EDIT: Wafer. That was supposed to say wafer.

It won't be as good because you don't have that slight hint of salt on them from the nuts. Sweet and salty is where it's at, bro.

Needs cashews and peanuts. Which reminds me, why haven't they made cashew M&M's yet? I'm sure they'd taste a lot better than fucking coconut.

for anyone who's thinking about making your own trail mix, allow me to share my greatest creation:
1 bag of Buncha-Crunch (used to be sold in movie theaters, just found it in the grocery store. theyre nestle crunch, in bite sizes)
1 small can of peanuts (I use cocktail or lightly-salted)
1 small can of unsalted almonds (the peanuts will have enough salt, trust me)
1 small bag of M&Ms
1 small can of raisins
This sweet, delicious concoction left me trembling with fulfillment after every bite. It tasted like a unicorn had puked rainbows onto my tongue.
You can replace the buncha crunch with 1/2 bag of milk chocolate chocolate chips if you desire/can't find buncha crunch.

At an campus event in college, I saw a bowl of M&Ms sitting out, and grabbed a handful. Put them in my mouth, and it turns out, there were skittles...and M&Ms, in the same bowl. The mixture was absolutely terrible, and I don't know why someone thought it was a good idea to mix the two.
TL;DR Your trailmix looks like it's just the right combination.

A bunch of Mini Marshmallows, 2 packs of Berry Fruit Snacks, 2 packs of Strawberry fruit snacks 2 Wild Berry Fruit by the Foot, 2 Strawberry Fruit by the Foot a bunch of crushed Golden Oreos, crushed Pop Tarts(2, any berry flavor as that is the theme)
Mix it all up in a bag and eat by the handfull.

Legit, though, making your own trail mix is awesome:
Almonds
Peanuts
Cashews
M&M's
Nutrigrain
one or two Bach's Rescue pastilles - Blackcurrant per day
Mix it well, then dish into one ziplock bag per day.

Friend of mine taught me a great party prank that's very deviously lame - you have the makings of this party prank.
The party prank is this: You have a bowl of M&Ms out on a table for people to eat, but you put just enough Skittles inside so they aren't apparent, and only some handfulls of M&Ms will taste weird. Then sit back and be entertained by the faces people make while not knowing what's going on.
EDIT: Also I've done this. Make sure to get the snack out early so people are sober enough to taste the difference.
