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

Bingo. The most important problems facing our world today have finally been solved. First the packed oblate spheroids. Now the non-rolling spherical candy dish.
