Colorful Candy Discriminators

Separate Rainbow Sweets with the Skittles Sorting Machine

Let's not be racist against the rainbow candies but admittedly, some flavors do taste better than others -- easily separate the delicious from the less-than with the Skittles Sorting Machine.

It's a little mind-boggling to watch as the sea of colorful candies fall through the funnel and get sorted with absolute accuracy. Each bite-size rainbow falls into what looks like a machine that belongs in a research lab. The machine senses what color each one is and fires them through a pipe that moves to its respective dish.

Owning one of these Skittles Sorting Machines means that there's no more need to get fingers all colorful and sticky. Unfortunately, this seems to be a homemade item and is not for sale, though I would buy one in a heartbeat if it were.
