To those who don't know, one of the major reasons that sour skittles are as sour as they are (were) is not due to the composition of the coating (which is primarily citric acid) but the shape

If you look up pictures of the skittles themselves, you'll see that the granuals are large. The way that the citric acid sugar blend was ground up, was particularly course and sharp which would abrase the tounge, causing a cycle of wounds, allowing for more acid to interact and hurt the tounge, causing more wounds and more acid.

I would eat these until my tounge bled - no exaggeration.

But I just bought a new bag and - to my immense disappointment, the course shards are gone, they are now coated in a fine powder, that is only slightly more sour than average. And certainly doesn't hurt you. It's just.... Okay.

Unless this was just a batch error.... Rip to one of the greats.

There seems to be a scam being sent out, pretending to be a comic commission, via email, but when in the app, there is no message or comment from them. (Once the site is back up they're going to check there as well)

This happened to a friend of mine. Luckily they didn't interact with anything in the email.

Just wanted to share the warning. Be careful!

Edit: clarifying where they checked, they checked the app, but not the site yet as it's down

The food theory about the death match between food mascots was awesome! Great math, great jokes! I definitely felt it could have been a collab with game theory, as a lot of food mascots have games which give them powers, like Ronald McDonald has superpowers in his games, which would have definitely changed the outcome - Santi used video games as a reference but only for the sour patch kids so it's weird that the other mascots didn't get their game powers. But even as it is, I absolutely loved this episode!! Even the ad aside with Molly had me laughing!

Great video, it felt like a return to form, exactly what I've been missing!

It's been a while since a good old math video I live for statistics and math and I loved the cheesiness of this video (pun intended). Not to mention this game is a beautiful love letter to a beautiful time in animation history 🤩🤩
