What the prank actually is:
The goal is to poison the dogs with chocolate.
Chocolate contains theobromine (and to a lesser extent caffeine), which dogs metabolize much more slowly than humans. It is genuinely toxic to them.
Even a moderate amount can cause vomiting, diarrhea, rapid heart rate, seizures, and in bad cases, death — especially in small dogs ("trash-rats").
Peanut M&Ms have a chocolate coating + peanut center. Dogs are often attracted to the smell of the peanuts/fat, so they will gobble them up if they find them while sniffing around their usual potty area.
Why sort the green and brown ones?
Camouflage.
Brown M&Ms blend in with dirt, dead grass, or actual dog shit.
Green ones blend in with lawn grass.
White, red, blue, yellow, or orange M&Ms would stand out like bright candy on the ground. The owner might notice them and get suspicious ("Why are there colorful candies all over the yard?"). By using only green + brown, they look like random debris or blend into the environment, so the owner is less likely to connect the dots when the dogs get sick.
He drops them at 2am so no one sees him, then waits for the dogs to eat them over several days. A week later the dogs are presumably very ill or dead, and he pretends to be innocent while secretly gloating.
The confused reply:
"I don't get it. Did the MM kill them. I don't think MM are poisionous"
The person didn't realize (or forgot) that chocolate is toxic to dogs. To humans, M&Ms are harmless candy. To dogs, especially small ones, they're a potential veterinary emergency. The prank relies on that knowledge gap.
