In the video, a person is seen placing Skittles candies on a white plate to form a circular pattern. The candies are in various colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, and purple. The person starts by placing three candies on the plate and then continues to add more until the circle is complete. The candies are glossy and round, and the plate is plain white, providing a stark contrast to the vibrant colors of the Skittles.
