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.

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."
