Yellow, green, green, yellow, green, yellow...

See how many yellows there are? SEE?

So, you've been steering clear of all fatty foods, cutting sugar from your drinks and exercising regularly. That New Year's resolution to go on - and stay on, this time - an effective diet has yielded fantastic results. It's time to treat yourself.

No, it's not time to binge on take-outs. Not yet at least. But you do deserve something little. Something sweet. How about a packet of Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles? Everyone loves Fruit Pastilles. Chewy, fruity, not too heavy and very, very moreish. So go on, grab yourself a packet.

But what's that? The first one in the pack is yellow? Oh well. The next one will be better. Green? Ok, I could go for a green one. Another green one. Fair enough. Get the lame ones out of the way early. Wait. Another yellow. Followed by two more greens. I'm halfway through the pack? And another yellow! FML. I'm writing a letter to Rowntrees.

There's nothing wrong with yellow and green Fruit Pastilles. But are they really anyone's favourite? We all know, deep down, that the real flavour is to be found in the red and purple. So to get barely any of these is a real kick to the babymaker.

Perhaps the food colouring is cheaper? Perhaps the inventor was obsessed with apples and lemons? Or just perhaps it's bad luck. Either way, I hate it.

Should've just gone for a packet of Skittles.
