Social media users 'disappointed' after learning of quirky way to eat beloved sweet

We've all squished our Starburst sweets together to form different flavours, but have you ever considered doing it with a Skittle sweet? A social media user has gone viral for showing off the creative way they have turned their Skittle sweets into 'burgers,' leaving followers and fellow social media users mind-blown. The viral moment was shared via TikTok, with the user jandelrblx95 sharing pictures of the 'skittle burgers.' A social media user has gone viral for showing off the creative way they have turned their Skittle sweets into 'burgers,' leaving followers and fellow social media users mind-blown. Pic: jandelrblx95/ TikTok 'Ur [your] not real if u [you] never squished skittles to make burgers,' they shared alongside the pictures which saw the round sweets flattened out and pressed together to form a burger complete with the bun, cheese, lettuce and burger patty. The TikTok has amassed 1.9m likes and more than 17,500 comments with many expressing their disappointment in themselves for never being so creative. 'I have clearly not been eating skittles to their full potential,' one wrote, while another added: 'I'm so disappointed in myself.'

'Girl, if 9% of the comments are saying the opposite then that clearly means not everyone done that as kids,' someone hit back.

Zaconey and Coke was a staple in pubs and clubs many years ago, particularly among college students before its discontinuation in 2016. While bottles of the 'God's nectar' were knocking about until 2019, there are, unfortunately, only a finite number of bottles left; with TikToker Liam Mackessy going on a quest to try and find a bottle of the brown stuff. With some commenting on Liam's post revealing they had a small drop left that they were saving, the TikTokker later discovered that Hennessy's Bar in Tralee bought a number of bottles before the drink was discontinued, and are still serving the drink alongside Linnane's Bar.

I was convinced my chair was blue for 7 years – I listed it, now people are saying GREY… I don't know what to believe

A WOMAN has been left baffled after discovering that after seven years, the armchair she thought was blue is actually grey. Kristin was originally made aware of the discrepancy when she listed the chair online for free, with the person interested in taking it pointing out its actual colour. 6 Kristin took to TikTok to ask for advice as to whether her chair was blue or grey Credit: 6 She showed the chair in question in the video, with the overwhelming consensus that it was grey Credit: 6 She couldn't believe that the chair, and the sofa, weren't blue Credit: 6 She tried comparing the colour of the chair to two blue colouring pencils Credit: She "Is this chair grey or blue?" she asked. "Cause I'm giving it away to someone and I'm sending pictures and I'm like, it's a blue chair and they're like, that's grey. "And I'm like, I'm pretty sure it's blue. "And she's like, can you get more pictures? It's grey. And I'm like, okay, but my couch and my chair have always been blue. "But now she's gaslighting me and I'm starting to believe it!" She showed the sofa and chair in the video, as she wondered if it was her phone playing tricks on her. "Also I shouldn't be stressing this much over a free chair," Kristin continued. Most read in Fabulous "You either want it or you don't, but is it blue or is it grey? So I can tell her the truth!" "What colour is this chair?" she asked in the video caption. I furnished my ENTIRE home with Facebook Marketplace finds - my stools were free & I saved £1k on a farmhouse table set And pretty overwhelmingly, the consensus was that it is, in fact, grey. "I wasn't prepared for how grey it would be," one gasped. "I was prepared for it to be like a blueish grey, not full on gravestone of a child who died of tuberculosis in the 1800s GREY," another joked. "I wasn't expecting it to be the oxford dictionary definition of grey," a third commented. "That is so very grey. I'm so sorry this is how you're finding out," someone else said. To which Kristin replied: "I am actually crashing out!" What is colour analysis? Colour analysis is a tool you can use to determine which colours flatter you most. It's based on your overall appearance and particularly the colouring of your eyes, hair and skin. You are then assigned one of twelve colour seasons. Each colour season comes with a colour palette, specifically designed to harmonise with your natural colouring. According to a British study, there is evidence that suggests that the colours worn by a person can affect how they are perceived by others. For example: red and pink are thought to signal sexual attractiveness, particularly when worn by women, while dark colours like black or navy may convey the impression of authority - in turn making the wearer seem less approachable. The theories of colour analysis also teach that certain colours are capable of emphasising or, conversely, de-emphasising an individuals attractiveness to others. Unflattering colours may make a person look pale, for instance, or draw attention to such "flaws" as wrinkles or uneven skin tone. Flattering colours are thought to have the opposite effect. "Is the blue in the room with us?" another asked. "Your grey-dar is off hunny. It's grey," someone else said. "Bestie if you think that is blue, what colour is the sky to you?" another questioned. While someone else said: "Are you colour blind by chance?" "If I am I am only finding out now," Kristin responded. "That chair is so grey I forgot what blue is!" another laughed. As someone else said it could be that Kristin has a condition called Tritanopia, a blue-yellow colour blindness where individuals experience a reduced sensitivity to blue light, and therefore struggle to distinguish between blue and gree, as well as yellow and red. "Specifically, grey may appear as a very pale blue or blue-green to someone with tritanopia," they added. Read more on the Irish Sun Kristin tried to prove herself right by laying blue colouring pencils and blue clothing on top of the armchair, before taking some colour blindness tests online and referring herself to the doctor. "The butterfly effect is crazy because if the Facebook lady never questioned me on this chair colour, I'd have a millennial grey living room for the rest of my life," she wrote over the top of another video. 6 She also used a blue coat to try and figure out the actual colour Credit: 6 As well as pair of grey jogging bottoms - before reluctantly booking herself a doctor's appointment to check for colour blindness Credit:
