Densely packed M&M's (2)

A few years ago, scientists at Princeton University discovered that oblate spheroids, when poured into a spherical container and shaken, pack more densely than any other shape. In other words, the best way to fill up a spherical candy dish (which would be a stupid thing to own because it would roll off the table) is with M&M's (which are oblate spheroids), not Jelly Beans (which are prolate spheroids). You can't argue with science. #science

Songs in commercials (4)

I really wish TV commercials gave some sort of indication of what song was playing in the background. Sometimes it's just some cookie-cutter silence-filling drone music. But other times it's a song I'd gladly purchase online. That's right advertisers: I would gladly spend money on something if you would just tell me what to look for. Oftentimes I couldn't care less about the product being advertised, but that song in the background is awesome. #entertainment
