Accidents Will Happen

I received an early Christmas present in the post today.
Unfortunately thanks to our wonderful post office, some of the adhesive on the packaging had failed and on further inspection the Maltesers fell out.
Then I noticed that corner of the box seemed slightly loose. After further inspection the force required to press the semicircular cardboard perforations was fairly minimal.
At that moment I stumbled and fell onto the floor and some of the Maltesers rolled into my mouth.
Then a strange thing happened. The rest of the Maltesers swiftly followed suit.
Honestly, you'd have to have seen it to believe it.
What do they say about coincidences? The only amazing thing about them is that they don't happen more often.
Fortunately no-one was hurt.
