Re the makers of skittles. As in stop filling the packet with yellow orange and green ones, nobody wants that shit we're here for the red and purples. Why do they continue to do this?

I love all skittles, infact the original ones are my least favourite ones now cause they keep bringing out new flavours

Skittle dips sound so wrong, sweets wrapped in yoghurt but my god I'm addicted

Skittles are the bomb - the way they juicily explode into your mouth, oooh BABY!

I only eat the green and yellow ones. The other colours are wrong and filthy.

Skittles are inexplicable.

The worst moment is when you go to a meeting and think they've put out jars of m&m's, grab a handful, and ewww fruity wet plaster in your mouth.

I'm torn. Clearly you're correct regarding the reds, but purples are an abomination and I'd much rather have a nice green or orange.

High fiving you tumbletap. My dream would be a double sized skittles with the red and purple fused into one sensational flavour burst. I've finished my packet now, DP bought the kid sized packs :-I

Where is this utopia you work? Are they hiring?

I always chomp my cheek when I’m eating skittles and the green ones make me choke on the acidity of them. But yes yes to the red and purple ones. Have you tried adding some to vodka and letting them sit for a week? Magic!! Skittles Vodka 😬

I agree. In other news, Skittles make my teeth squeak for some bizarre reason! But, yes, definitely, should fill the bags with reds and purples, not green, orange and bloody yellow.
I couldn't even eat the Penguin bars that were in yellow or green wrappers when I was a kid, think this has developed into a kind of a 'thing' now I'm an adult!!

@FudgeBrownie2019 You seem to be firmly alone in liking the yellow. Green and orange I will begrudgingly eat, yellow really angers me though. Not juicy or tart enough. Just a simpering tame lemonish flavour.

Red and purple skittles are the only skittles the world needs. I hate it when I have a bag and get 3 red and the rest rubbish yellow and green Sad

So much so I don't buy skittles anymore because I can't handle the disappointment.

Green are the best ones, followed by reds. Yellow are just about acceptable. Purple should not be there.

The yogurt coated Skittles are vomit inducing. Who knew such a tiny thing could elicit such a reaction from a grown adult? Grin
