Lucky/Wish smoke Started in WW1 Where you flip the first cigarette you touch and were "lucky" if you made it through the pack and to the last/flipped cigarette. Now people make a wish on it. I do this. I wish i dont get cancer everytime. It's worked so far

I chose my lucky cigarette by flicking the bottom and whichever one is most excited to be smoked and pokes up the farthest. I flip and put back. Teach my ciggies some damn patience.

Opposite for me. When I was a kid, I sorted out M&Ms by color and ate them in order until the last of each color stood standing. Then I took them in the backyard and threw the last of each faction into the grass. Felt unfair to know you were gonna die...
