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
