A young man sits on a living room couch. Alongside it is a giant hourglass full of Skittles. He lifts the hourglass top, which is already ajar, grabs some Skittles and munches away.
His buddy, presumably a roommate, then enters the scene.
“I know it man,” he says to his seated pal.
“You know what?” says the Skittles chomping guy innocently.
“I told you not to eat the Skittles from my hourglass. Look at me, man. You’re speeding up time.”
He then removes his baseball cap, revealing a balding head.
“How many did you eat?”
The culprit responds, “Like two. Three.”
The sands of time are moving much faster than the rate of two or three lost Skittles, however. We now see the balding man has aged further, his face wrinkled beyond any Botox repair. He then feels fatigued and sits down, looking even more elderly by the moment. “I told you,” he mutters, only to say nothing further as he dozes off in the chair.
An end tag implores, “Warp the Rainbow. Taste the Rainbow,” accompanied by the Skittles logo.

Disney Pledges $15 million In L.A. Fire Aid As More Celebs Learn They’ve Lost Their Homes
The Pacific Palisades wildfires torched the home of "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps most poignantly destroying the father-to-be's newly installed crib.
CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."
He and his pregnant wife, Jarah Mariano, evacuated Tuesday with their dog and they watched on security cameras as the flames ripped through the house, destroying everything, including a new crib.
"There's a kind of shock moment where you're going, 'Oh, this is real. This is happening.' What good is it to continue watching?' And then at a certain point we just turned it off, like 'What good is it to continue watching?'"
Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
Mel Gibson's home is "completely gone," his publicist Alan Nierob confirmed Friday. The Oscar winner revealed the loss of his home earlier Friday while appearing on Joe Rogan's... Read More
