Some people like to sort their Skittles and eat them separately, which is why Brian Egenriether created this candy sorting machine.
The machine is the updated version of his previous candy sorter, housing a more sophisticated design. The Skittles Sorting Machine 3 doesn't just separate Skittles: it also separates M&M’s and Reese’s Pieces. The machine features switches that allows people to choose the type of candy to be separated. The design boasts a polished look that many candy fanatics would appreciate. Candy store owners will find this candy sorting machine very handy when it comes to segregating flavors. The only flaw about the machine is that it’s fairly slow when it comes to separating the candy.
The project is more of a novelty than anything right now, but I’m sure it won’t be long till a faster version of the machine is created.
