The Time You Have (In JellyBeans) is a thought-provoking short film by humorist ZeFrank. In it, we learn about our actual time spent doing mundane everyday activities, presented with a visual aid that we can all understand… Jelly beans.

Using 28,835 of them — the number of days in an average human life cycle — the beans are counted and removed until only one remains. Then we’re forced to think, when all we’d really like to do is go grab a bag of Jelly Bellies. Please enjoy…

As we’ve covered previously, Nabisco is currently running a series of videos showing creative ways to separate an Oreo Cookie. But where there was once a lone engineer with no interest in preserving the white cream filling — we now have two Oreo-separating enthusiasts at odds over which part is better.

A bit more refined than David Neevel’s machine, “toy scientists” Barry Kudrowitz and Bill Fienup bring us a contraption that swiftly removes the outer shell, while creating a unique delivery system of the cream filling.
