![]() ![]() Then the millennium changed and with it, Skittles ads changed too. In the 1990s, ads emerged that went a more creative route, such as the catchy fruit gangster commercial and the series of rainbow farming commercials. With a slight delay, every ad since has included this phrase and/or a verb variation like "Drain the Rainbow," "Believe the Rainbow," "Share the Rainbow" and "Fizz the Rainbow."ĭuring the first few decades of its existence, marketing for Skittles went with the generic "life is good and makes it even better" message. In 1994, the iconic tagline " Taste the Rainbow" was created by D'Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles. In 1989, the first alternative packs ("Tropical," "Wild Berry," "Tart-N-Tangy") hit the market in the United States and it took another decade for them to show up in Europe. Internationally, blackcurrant is replaced with grape lime was replaced with green apple in the United States for a limited time in April 2001, and again from 2013 until 2021, when public demand brought lime back. The original Skittles pack consists of five flavors: lime (green), lemon (yellow), orange (.orange), strawberry (red), and blackcurrant (purple). Mars, Incorporated purchased Wrigley in 2008, thereby bringing the "S"-candy and its possible design inspiration, the "M"-candy, under one roof. In 1982, the Wrigley Company moved production to the United States. All that is known is that Skittles originally was a candy product sold in the United Kingdom. They offer a very different, but equally enjoyable way to taste the rainbow.Skittles is a brand of pill-sized fruit gummies encased in a crunchy layer stamped with an "S." Its year of origin is given as 1974, but the identity of its inventor is a mystery which absurdity coordinates particularly well with the modern day avant-garde marketing strategies. But sometimes I’m going to prefer Skittles Gummies. I’m never going to turn down a bag of normal Skittles. To any avowed lover of all things gummie, that’s the biggest appeal of these. These require less actual chewing than the crunchy candy, and yet they are “chewier.” (I know that sounds weird, but it will make total sense when you eat them.) They definitely don’t offer the same chewing experience as Skittles. Considering how much each version tastes like the classic candy, you might find your preference for the Gummies matches your preference for normal Skittles. Both were just pleasantly “fruity” when eaten like that.) But I also prefer normal Wild Berry Skittles to the original variety. (Less so when stuffing a whole bunch in my mouth at once. They had more flavor, and that was especially noticeable when eating the pieces individually. I definitely preferred the Wild Berry style over the Original. If you have a favorite flavor, just grab a bunch at once. However, you can only really appreciate the individual flavors when you eat them one at a time. With their size and chewiness, these candies are designed to be enjoyed by the fistful. That’s also when these are at their best. Despite their general softness, they still provide a highly satisfying chew when you eat more than one at a time. For example, if Life Saver Gummies are a five out of five on the chewiness scale, Skittles Gummies are a two. They are definitely softer than most similar candies. Much bigger than normal Skittles, but not that big. The Gummies are dime-sized, and roughly a quarter of an inch tall if you measure to the “S” logo. Skittles gave us an early shot at both varieties to see if they live up to the promise. It features melon berry, wild cherry, berry punch, strawberry, and raspberry. There’s also a gummy version of Skittles Wild Berry. It includes green apple, lemon, strawberry, orange, and grape. The first is based on the original lineup of flavors and come in that same signature red bag. The new Skittles Gummies come in two variations. They will arrive at all retailers beginning in May. Walmart is the exclusive spot to buy them nationwide right now. ![]() Skittles’ new bite-sized, soft chewy candies aren’t waiting for spring. ![]()
