Skittles magician Brian Egenriether has solved an age-old dilemma that’s been around since 1974: How to separate the icky Skittles from the highly coveted red Skittles. Egenriether offers the Skittles Sorting Machine, crafted from a hummingbird feeder, telescope parts, PVC and a phototransistor, among other things.

It’s brilliant. It’s genius. Now you can save all the yummy flavors for yourself and give your kid brother all the yellow Skittles that taste like soured cough syrup. Or why not replace the coals in someone’s stocking this Christmas with all the abominable flavors. I know, we’d probably steal candy from a baby too.

Watch the Skittle Sorting Hat Machine go to work below:
