All flavors are placed in their own cups one by one

Candies exist mostly to provide us with the sugar that our bodies need (and to snack on randomly of course, just to enjoy the taste), but they also serve as inspiration for inventions, like this machine from ivcvideo.

The star of a YouTube video which I have embedded above, the machine takes all the M&M's or Skittles that you can throw at it and sorts them by color (and, by extension, by flavor) into different cups.

So just pour your candy in the top cone and watch as the machine does its work.

Sure, it kind of defeats the purpose of having all flavors mixed in, but there are enough people who like some better than the others.

Besides, this way, we can see if the flavors come in equal shares or if there's some conspiracy at work for hoarding the best ones. On that note, we might start seeing other food and snack sorters now that this thing is here to act as an ice breaker.
