I have a friend who walks with a cane, and she's always complaining about how she can't open doors if she's walking around with a drink in her hand. I've been wanting to learn OpenSCAD, so I'm killing two birds with one stone and working on 3D modelling a cupholder which attaches to her cane as a surprise gift. It's been a fun challenge; you use a way different thought process when it comes to openscad than you do working with traditional cad software.

Next step is learning to hydro dip it after I finish 3D printing it.

X equals negative B

Plus or minus the square root

Of B squared minus 4AC

All over 2A

Sang to the tune of pop goes the weasel.

I haven’t done pre-calc in like 10 years, but this song still lives rent free in my head.

Explosions and fire?

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the ones you linked aren’t actually the same product as mine - those are hard candies and they don’t seem to have yogurt in them. The tip about google shopping is still valid though. I’ll have a look later.

Nope, they were regular gummy candy but with yogurt mixed in to the molten candy mixture before it set (I think). They were kinda similar to the white stuff on the bottom of the blue whale gummy candies but not quite.

On that note, I also remember yogurt coated skittles were a thing and they were also very good, but I think those were also discontinued. Those are probably more like what you’re thinking of.

When I was a super young kid, I remember going to the store occasionally, where my mom would rarely buy me these yogurt gummy candies as a treat. I absolutely loved them, they were delicious. However, they were discontinued or something like 20 years ago. There isn’t much I wouldn’t do to get more of them. I’d even make them myself if I could find a recipe.

I think the brand name was Campinos. IIRC they were mostly a hard candy brand, but those soft candies were a million times better than any other candy I could have had as a kid.

Edit: I just googled them since they were on my mind. It seems like they’re out of stock everywhere but here’s a product listing https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/campino-yogourt-gummies-120g/10192347
