The flip side to that is that they ment it for a act of safety. Roth said in an interview that the brown M and Ms were a sign that they had read the rider ALL the way through, which include the elaborate stage setup. He said the night that the brown M&Ms were in the bowl, the stage broke down because they didn't read the rider on how to set it up properly.
