This is giving me Stat 300 flashbacks

I used to love Skittles, until they replaced the lime flavor with the horrid (to me) sour apple several years back. I may never buy a pack of (regular) Skittles again.

what the fuck?

what sort of space age blasphemy is this?

I blame the millennials.

Skittles used to be good, now they taste like avocado toast and crippling student loan debt.

It's about the skittle experience, not the eating.

I bought jelly beans recently. They boast 49 flavors but this bag is heavy on the watermelon. Every little handful has watermelon in it. Good thing I like that flavor but the distribution is so weird I assume these must be cheaper to make for some reason and it's not random that I happened to get so many.

At the end, there's an interesting explanation on why the package with the least and the most gums followed each other: could have been a jammed/unjammed filling mechanism.

the actuality is that the jelly belly corporation is stalking you

I knew all those free samples I scammed from their daily online sample window would come back to haunt me!

lol, so back in the day, at a random hour or two each day, there would be a time that if you visited their site, you could get free samples. For a long time they did not police the samples, but eventually they started keeping track of people who were getting lots of samples mailed to them. There was a year I didn't pay for candy. The internet used to be so cool.

What a wasted opportunity to build some sort of skittle-sorter-by-colour machine. Or possibly an AI that can count the skittles by colour from an unsorted photograph, without the need for a human to rearrange and count them.

More skittle counters out of work.

Someone has a lot of free time on their hands.
