Being different colors, they are coming out of two separate dispensers at the factory. The two colors probably end up in a common dispenser for packaging, but if that dispenser is not mixing prior to dispense, you would end up with clusters of each color in a box. Shipping/handling could generate some extra distribution within the box, depending on how full (tightly or loosely packed) the box is. So the answer lies within the manufacturing process and how much attention they pay to equal distribution of each color within each box, and how freely the candies are able to move around within the box.
And no, it has nothing to do with the universe. It's just candy-coated licorice.
