Yes, that is a story

Here we are, SportsJOE readers.

It’s the kind of story that reminds you all that we are very much slap bang in the middle of a summer with no major football tournaments (we’re not counting the Confederations Cup).

With both that and the fact that there aren’t any major transfers on the immediate horizon, here’s a story about how Ben Foster eats peanut M&Ms… Hello Pulitzer Prize!

The West Brom goalkeeper, 34, took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to share his method for eating M&Ms – which seemingly sees him eat the chocolatey shells and just leave the peanut bit in the middle.

Clearly, this raises a number of questions. Perhaps most importantly: Why don’t you just buy the chocolate M&Ms instead, you fool?

Sharing a picture of the shelled peanuts with his followers, Foster asks ‘Surely I can’t be the only one who does this right?’.

You can probably guess the nature of the responses. Pretty much everyone agreed that Foster was the only one to do this…
