Sorry I didn't just make an account and instead posted as anonymous. This is the same person responding to my original. I think I know why it happened.

The Chameleon Candies that changed colors to make the vertical 5 match with the candies under Liquorice Locks were all themselves stuck under Marmalade. Usually when you make a match to create a special candy, and include in that match candies that are either under Marmalade or under Liquorice Locks, it never destroys those candies--it instead frees them of their locks/marmalade. A more common result of this rule is when you create a striped candy by moving a candy in line with some Liquorice Locked candies, and the striped candy goes off immediately because it is now still in line with those candies which are now freed but not destroyed. In this case, all 5 candies were either under Marmalade or Liquorice Locks. So when the 5-match was made (by the Chameleon Candies changing color), the game was simultaneously 1) unable to destroy any of the five candies because they all had to be freed from their Marmalade/Liquorice first AND 2) obligated to destroy one of the candies to replace it with a Colour Bomb. Something about the paradox in this situation probably caused it to glitch and give me 5 Colour Bombs (I'm imagining little Candy People running the game inside my phone: "We need to make a Colour Bomb! Now!" "But we have nowhere to put it! All the candies were locked down in Marmalade or Liquorice Locks!" "Then make them all Colour Bombs!!!"). Curious whether this can be reproduced, but it'll probably take a lot of tries.
