A comment at a Facebook post by the NYT: "Watch Jeff Bezos and his fellow passengers on the Blue Origin flight play with Skittles and experiment with gravity on their trip to space on Tuesday."What if you had to argue: The Skittles-catching foolery in space was the best form that philosophical inquiry could take under those circumstances.

Much better product placement this time, Skittles.
