10:33 Personally I love the chewies skittles, I find that without a shell there's basically no sugary grittiness in the mouth. And the pastel colours seem a bit more natural than the brightly coloured originals. There was also a limited blue skittle in regular bags that was cherry-cola flavoured. Also a bag of confused skittles, where the colours and flavours didn't match. Think there's others, but I don't remember them.

@mathieu51782 Год назад

For what it's worth, blue raspberry as a flavour exists because companies decided keeping the raspberry flavour red would be too confusing (as it is associated with strawberry and cherry, already). So, to create a solution to this, they dyed the raspberry flavour blue to set it apart. :) Just a little bit of trivia!

I remember when skittles in the UK did mints years ago, one pack was peppermint and the other spearmint. They were okay but they were just like smaller versions of the soft chewy mints you could already get. Idk why they had different colours because the entire packs would just taste of the same kind of mint because it was.

@chocciechocchoc1 Год назад

@kierancampire Год назад

Your Skittles counting segment, my great nan once (my memory is awful so forgive murky details) bought a back of either Fruit Pastels, or red and black fruit pastels and counted them all individually, but then was so bothered by the inconsistent number that she wrote to the company complaining about how the colours were so uneven in number. They actually responded and apologised to her, and i believe they sent my nan a free bag of fruit pastels as compensation, so hey, counting your sweets can be good!

@layladiniz1150 Год назад

@sueKay Год назад

As someone with a truly bizzare lime allergy (not citrus, just lime), I'm always extremely happy to discover that a green sweet is apple and not lime. So at least I know not to eat skittles in the US since they went back to their green ones being lime. I cant blame them, lime tastes amazing...I'm just sadly very allergic to it. I'm very jealous, I LOVE the taste of lime. The few times I've accidentally ingested it I've been like "oh hey that's nice" and then become very unwell!

@getreal2592 Год назад

Luckily I was paying attention as I noticed she's picked up the pride skittles instead, her face when I mentioned it was so funny. We swapped them out but she kept one white pack as her daughter was LGBTQ+ and she used them to Line the cake board and decorate cupcakes, which looked great when she showed me a fortnight later!
