CANDYLAND — How many of us have fond memories of dumping out our fun size bags of Skittles onto the table after Halloween, placing each Skittle into color-coded piles, and creating fun patterns with the carefully-sorted candies? Or maybe that's just me.
Either way, this video from YouTube channel, DEXTER SEE, shows there's a lot of fun to have with Skittles. Just a bit of hot water poured over the candies causes their colors to slowly run together to form a magical rainbow. It's mesmerizing to watch how the bright pigments from the candy coatings start to swirl without running together.
Yesterday's Have You Seen This?
Since Utah kids are about to have more candy lying around than their parents know what to do with, this could be a great trick to try at home.
Just pour out your bag of Skittles onto a smooth plate, sort them into a circle with a repeating color pattern, and pour hot water over them. Then, as the video creator says, "wait for the magic to unfold right in front of your eyes."
If you try this out at home, be sure to let us know in the comments how it goes, and follow us on Snapchat (@KSLcom) where we'll be trying it ourselves this afternoon!
