Similar, but doesn't really seem to be the same thing.

In the Van Halen case, they're trying to see if the service provider even finds out about the clause; to pass the test is to weed out the brown candies. In the orange juice case, the orange juice is clearly requested; to pass the test is apparently to be able to work through all the potential prerequisites.

Yeah, the M&Ms clause is entirely about, "How carefully did they read the contract, and how detailed are they in carrying it out."
