"come in one" makes sense?
good things come in twos or in threes, how about "bad things don't come in one"? or come in single, or alone? what would you say?thanks

Native English speakers would not say any of those phrases for a single thing. We only use "come in" for multiples (2+). You might say, "Bad things come once," but--again--it isn't a common expression.

I agree with Brad. Bad things come in threes. Good things seem to come in one.
