3 tubes of smarties, mostly oranges. What does it mean?

Who doesn't like orange oil

There's an integer buffer error on orange smartie count at the moment. It will be fixed in the next patch, along with the removal of 'France' after much negative feedback.

Surely that's a good thing.

I always wondered why the orange ones are the only flavoured smarties

They make orange-only tubes of Smarties over the Christmas period. Presumably the excess from those batches that doesn't get packaged and sold is put into regular Smarties tubes, causing an excess of orange compared to other colours.

Edit: A word

But they're the only ones with flavour. A win surely?

Total aside but I was watching a video just today talking about simulation theory and other existential crisis inducing thoughts

I realised being british might be somewhat protective of existential crisis—-for everyone ‘oh well, mustn’t grumble…just going to potter about a bit’

Orange Smarties are the best.. my wife swears blind they don't taste of Oranges and I can't persuade her otherwise. Please say I'm not imagining things?!

I'm more shocked at the amount of smarties you get these days.

I bet they were over a quid a tube too.

One way to spot a random distribution is that it doesn't look random.

Simulation is fine but we'll be updating your perception bias with tonight's reboot.
