Everyone has a favourite colour of sweets. It's like when you pick out the good ones from Skittles. Or wine gums. Or Chewits. Okay, I'm distracting myself a little bit because now all I want is sweets.
There's one reoccuring theme though, no-one likes the shitty yellow ones. And there always seems to be a ratio of 75 percent of them in each pack. Take the hint. We don't like them. Although I have included the reasoning behind this at the bottom of the article.
Anyway, one company which seems to be listening to its customers is Starburst. It's figured out that everyone's favourite is the pink one (so much so that there's been memes made about them and everything), so it's bringing out all pink packs.

Yeah I know, these memes seems to be from 1956, but the sentiment still stands.

The all pinks are being released for a short period from April. Annoyingly, they seem to only be in America for the time being.
We've reached out to Starburst to see if they're ever going to bless us with their presence in the UK, so let's see what happens.
There's Actually A Reason Why There's More Yellow Skittles

Skittles are pretty good. I mean let's be honest they're no Wine Gums or Fruit Pastilles, or even the slightly less popular but chronically underrated Fruit Gums.
But what's with all the yellow ones? I mean there are always more yellow ones in the Skittles packet, aren't they? What gives? What's with that? Why does that happen? The yellow ones aren't even good. They're the worst. The reds and pinks are the best. Yellows are shit. Blackcurrant, maybe somewhere near the top.
Well turns out there's a reason. Check out this shocking footage unearthed by TheLADbible...

As you can see, when the Skittles are separated by flavour, there are loads of rogue yellows among the reds, greens, purples, and oranges.
People on Reddit have also been talking about this. Here's what they had to say.
One user said: "This explains why I always end up reaching into the bag and getting only yellow."
Another chimed in, saying: "I had another leftover party sized bag of Skittles from Halloween this year, so I got more data!

THIS BAG:
Total number: 376
Red: 69 (18.4%)
Orange: 75 (19.9%)
Yellow: 104 (27.7%)
Green: 58 (15.4%)
Purple: 70 (18.6%)"
So there we go then. Looks like everyone's getting more yellows than everyone else. What you saying, does this anecdotal/video evidence ring true for you?
