Get the Brown M&M mug.A seemingly trivial indicator that more potentially serious problems exist in a given situation. Synonymous with "canary in a coal mine"
Originated by the rock group Van Halen in the early 1980's. At the time, Van Halen had an elaborate stage show designed by the band itself, requiring substantial technical expertise to set up. In order to determine if the promoter had actually read - and followed - the contract, a clause stating that a bowl of M&M candies must be provided, with the brown ones removed upon pain of forfeiture of the show at full price. At the time, it was thought that the band was being petty and demanding (a rumor that the band allowed to perpetuate), but the real reason was to set a quality control measure that, if present, would signify that the specifics of the contract weren't being followed, requiring a thorough, detailed inspection of the setup with cancellation (at full pay) soon following after discovery of unsafe conditions.

"Yeah, Diamond Dave threw a fit after he found a brown M&M in the bowl."
"I know, they had to replace the whole floor!"

Get the Green and brown m&m mug.by felixify February 7, 2021
Get the the brown m&m mug.Properly filled in a brandy glass, or Ozzy will not go on stage. They can usually be found in a little sweet shop at the edge of town of Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon. Often guarded by a bloody great big Bengal tiger. The tiger can be taken out by a can of mace. But the shop owner and his son, that's a different story altogether.
So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for 1000 brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night
