Why did the snowflake skip the talent competition?

It figured everyone there was already one of a kind.

Did You Know?

The joke plays on the phrase "one of a kind" — snowflakes are famously unique, so at a competition full of snowflakes, everyone would already be one of a kind! While it's commonly believed that no two snowflakes are identical, scientists have actually found near-identical snowflakes under controlled conditions. The complex crystal structure forms based on temperature and humidity during formation, creating endless variations.
