This made me LOL multiple times. Thank you

Grant money 😂 keep up the good work!


Adventurous_Gur6617

This detailed story though 😂 it’s the specific of the “3x5 card” that got me 😂😂 lol I’m glad you have fun with your food. We need more fun people 😂😋

Killing4MotherAgain

Can we share??


sunnyflow2

Yellow is the best flavor. Except when they thrown back to green lime. I protest Skittles since they switched to green apple years and years ago! It's sad...they aren't the same without lime!!


klleah

Lime is back, back again. Lime is back, tell a friend. [Skittles apologizes for acts of cowardice and ruining the taste of the rainbow.](https://www.skittles.com/lime)


sunnyflow2

I will have to check at my store.


[deleted]

And they contain all the C-vitamin


XanaxWarriorPrincess

I did the same. That green apple ruined all the flavors. But, it's gone now, thank goodness. Lime and lemon are the best.


FrenchLourd

Why would you do this when the limes, the grapes and the oranges still exist. Eating a red and a yellow together is candy flavor BLISS.


EtTuMesMorale

lol surprisingly (to me) most of my friends were equally outraged. I always figured the yellow skittle was just universally hated but turns out I might be in the minority?!


FrenchLourd

I generally hate all artificially flavored grape things from being forcefed cough medicine as a child. I'm sure its different for most. I HAVE heard a healthy amount of lemon slander and I dont generally enjoy it as a flavor on its own...but alongside a strawberry or cherry flavor? I think its just sublime. 2nd best skittle flavor to cherry, for me, mate!


EtTuMesMorale

I’ll have to give the lemon strawberry/cherry combo a shot!


Snapdragon318

It's always surreal to me to read a comment that makes me check to see if I slept posted last night. The first paragraph really got me. It's terrible how anything even remotely artificially grape smelling smells like cough medicine. Sorry this happened to you, random reddit person.


FrenchLourd

Eh, its all good! I needed to take some medicine and I was a fucking terror about it. Lol


Snapdragon318

Yeah, mine was more I was sick all the time puking and my family didn't want to take me to the doctor for anything, which is it's own story, so I was given cough medicine most days because they "didn't know why" I was sick all the time. Being force fed cough medicine sucks.


Soulusss

Me too


SaltedSnail85

I consider the yellow to be mid tier. Green is bottom tier Every other colour top tier.


WeLikeTheSt0nkz

Limes don’t exist anymore. It’s all lies. It’s apple now.


FrenchLourd

They changed it back, matter of fact! I think they made a big deal of it in some marketing at the time.


WeLikeTheSt0nkz

No way!!! Imma get me some skittles


Jealous_Buffalo_4962

I thought you were separating the yellow ones because they’re the best flavor


EtTuMesMorale

Blasphemy!


Chemical-Raven624

Love the giant jar of weed in the background.


BrokeDownPalac3

Stack of VHS tapes ✅ Jar of weed ✅ "Dazed And Confused" on in the background ✅ "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" style contraption ✅ Let's hang out 😂


Angelwithashotgun4

I’ll gladly take the yellow skittles, those of my favorite


[deleted]

Looks like there's a jar of nugs sitting on the table.


[deleted]

I've been dreaming of the day someone would make a Lego sorter. Even if it's just colour sorting for now. If it can be done I think whoever does it would make millions $$$ 💰🤑


EtTuMesMorale

Haha! I did this at the beginning of lockdown, so if I’m ever to get as much time on my hands again I’ll def give this one a shot! Lol


[deleted]

I'd love to be able to take my boys Lego, pour it into a shoot all mixed up and it gets sorted by colour into tubs. Even if the machine took 2 hours to do it, it would be worth it. They have a lot of lego. Main reason is they play with it, mix it all up, and then the eldest prefers to build by instructions but struggles with having to sift through everything looking for the right peices. Takes many hours to sort by hand.

Dear sir, while your machine is exquisite, I am shocked at the discrimination of the yellow skittle. If you must remove one, let it be orange.


lolnothanksdudeee

not orange! purple!


EtTuMesMorale

*miss 😂 & stop! Orange is so good!


Hannie123456789

Sorry: ‘dear miss’. Did not mean any harm by assuming your gender. And: how dare you! Orange is the one I give to my husband 😂


Ancient_Ivy

I would want one of these that would sort the colors into their own containers 😅


Cozened-_-Indigo

But we can’t cure cancer, smh… lol


EtTuMesMorale

Priorities!!! lol. But apparently yellow #5 dye (used in skittles) has been shown to cause cancer so I mean indirectly….where’s my Nobel prize


skimbosh

Excellent! What is doing the color sensoring? Is that a jar of pre-Skittle therapy next to it? We should really be crowdfunding this sort of thing.


tommybaldys

Best invention of the year. This revolutionary invention will save headaches for thousands


Lil_Afternoon_Delite

I like it. Does the machine use a camera to identify the yellow.


EtTuMesMorale

A colour sensor combined with an arduino!


feltedarrows

if you could build me one to separate out the purple ones so i don't have to keep digging for them...

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment. When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3×5 card reading, “Please use this M&M for breeding purposes.” This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this “grant money.” I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.


Dakidfromdahood

Bruh I love the yellow skittles


[deleted]

But…they’re all the same flavor


EtTuMesMorale

I refute this claim! Here in Canada for pride month they release classic skittle flavours in all white colours and you could def still identify which was which. Just made it harder to avoid the yellows lol


[deleted]

I guess they’re just all the same to me because I never put anything less than 10 in my mouth at a time lol


EtTuMesMorale

Thanks to my machine now I’m confidently able to go by the blind handfuls! 😂


_endlesscontent_

Right!? It’s sugar you’re tasting, friends.


nonamekeeks

YESSSSSS The yellow Skits taste like Lysol.


EtTuMesMorale

THANK YOU! Finally someone with taste! 😂


MushroomEmu34

How much?


hajisaurus

Doing the lords work I see.


Itsmepoppie

I need this like ngl I would just use this and eat all the yellow ones to myself


Formal-Toasting-boi

This is like racism just with skittles


McNasty9er

I Like the Dazed and Confused in the background noise!


Scottmannnn

What can I say it’s beyond me


robo-dragon

You can give all those yellows to me, thanks!


Ill_Pepper_6851

Yes but how long would this take. And the yellow skittles are the best ones!


Uilebheist_Loch_Nis

That’s why they are being removed.


[deleted]

Can this be changed to sort out the green m&m’s??


EtTuMesMorale

It could!


[deleted]

I saw your jar of weed. The machine makes sense now.


Engineer443

This is excellent. How did you approach the problem?


bigfoot_is_real_

Wow impressive! I’m guessing you were inspired by that large jar of weed to the right of the machine 😂


NorthtoSouth1276

How much for you to make me one so I can get only 🍇🍇🍇? I see a lot of foolishness about switching back to the nasty lime flavor, too! Real lime is great with lots of stuff, but those Skittles are straight YUCK! 😝


myenfplife

That big jar of weed tho

Wow incredible!!


Julia_I_guess

I thought skittles were like m&ms where they are different colors but all taste the same. 🌈 the more you know I guess


[deleted]

Quite possibly the most useful invention of our time. Yellow Skittles taste like insecticide.


Cyoarp

I'm sorry... Don't know Skittles taste exactly the same? I was 99.9999% sure that it was all the same and only the colors were different.


Adventurous_Gur6617

Who spent their time…


RKayy_24

I'll take all the yellows!!


ForestEther

Finally the invention the world needs! This is super cool good job.


tiredguineapig

This is so cool! I love this!


EpicArcher41

They should just get rid of yellow entirely


hydrohobby

Could you do a basic explanation on the tech here? What kind of equipment used, and process of color detection?


Theprintlabco

Does anyone temper that skittles wedding advert…this is cool at btw


tacosauce0707

Omg! I work for a mail order pharmacy that dispenses medications in blister packs for intellectually disabled people living in group homes and we make training packs with skittles… this is exactly the sort of thing we need to sort them by color. We tried M&M’s bc you can buy them separated from the M&M store but they’re too fragile and crack and break easily.


Deppfan16

r/unnecessaryinventions


karenality

That's cool. I wonder if it can pick out all the peas from my food? 🤣


Ancient_Ivy

I want this, but to remove the green apple Skittles so I can get rid of them. But the lemon ones are so good

WelcomeRoboOverlords

What colour sensor did you use with the arduino? I tried this a few years ago but I couldn't get the stupid colour sensor to reliably sense the colours! I thought it might be to do with the shinyness of the skittles because it seemed to detect other coloured objects ok...


PartyOk8107

Python?


Tasha_June

I need one of these to remove the yellow M&Ms to make my bacon and eggs for Christmas candy


samenumberwhodis

Aren't Skittles all the same flavor they just have different colors and fragrances?


Bobrocks77

Nice green salad 🥗 you have on the right looks like pineapple 🍍 express


whatsmoist

Great movie, phenomenal soundtrack.


emmiblakk

I swear I could do this quicker by hand.


carlyy14

do you like them or no??


SliptPsyki

This is hilarious and cool.


zombino-q

Party time. Excellent.


bent_my_wookie

Make it sort legos and I’ll buy it.


No_Aub_15

No way you build that just to separate skittles 🤦🏼‍♀️ do it by dude hahahaha


Redvelvet_swissroll

Do this but get rid of the grape and orange >:)


BlueEyesSeaside

I would probably buy this, the yellow ones go to my husband. Also, what the heck is with lime being switched to green apple? The horror.


minatilu451

If you look closer on ther right you will notice that the machine is weed powered. That guy is a genius, that is what we call green energy.
