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?

ORANGE!!! It’s the best one! Red is ok but purple can suck my butt.

Backtobacktoback · 16/10/2019 16:21

I'm always sifting to get the greens and reds.
I ve been known to....wait for it....bin the purples.
Bet I will wish I had name changed for this post!!

@Bezalelle I totally agree with your hierarchy

Btw guys had a shower and put my dressing gown and guess what I found in my pocket? Another crumpled mini packet! Those are the times you thank your past self. There were only three left and they had a little dressing gown fluff on them but I scoffed them anyway Grin

YABU. Yellow orange green, then purple. I give away the red ones.

LaurieMarlow · 16/10/2019 16:35

Yellow and green ones are the best. Citrussy.

Longlongsummer · 16/10/2019 16:39

They are just way too small. Me no like.

Jellybeansincognito · 16/10/2019 16:53

Green and yellow are my favourites!
My dh always go for the orange!

Jellybeansincognito · 16/10/2019 16:54

Also- skittles and quavers were the only things I could keep down during a massive battle with HG.

Haven’t eaten them since!

FreezerBird · 16/10/2019 16:58

YABU

Green are the best, followed by yellow.

Then a huuuuge gap.

Then, grudgingly, orange.

Another gap, even bigger.

Then red.

Then such a huuuuge gap that purple isn't even on the scale because they are an abomination.

Just a note to say thanks for the PM @antivax1979, but I think you're taking this skittles thing a tad personally.

RolytheRhino · 16/10/2019 17:02

Sorry, that should be @antivaxsupport1979

Sn0tnose · 16/10/2019 17:02

Purple?! What kind of monster are you? Why don’t you water board some kittens while you’re eating them?!

safariboot · 16/10/2019 17:05

love skittles but I just mash them all into my mouth in any mix of colours

Hear hear!

mathanxiety · 16/10/2019 17:15

I'll take your yellows and greens, thanks..

FlamingoQueen · 16/10/2019 17:15

Orange and green are my favourites

Ellie56 · 16/10/2019 17:24

Orange are the best ones!

hazell42 · 16/10/2019 17:26

Yellow n green for me.
Same with opal fruits.
Sorry, starburst

Amanduh · 16/10/2019 17:26

Purples?! They’re the WORST.
Greens and Reds are the best ones!

WoollyMollyMonkey · 16/10/2019 17:40

I’ve not noticed any difference in taste re colours - I thought they were all the same! What you want are Tooty Fruities, now they’re nice!

Zoidbergonthehalfshell · 16/10/2019 17:47

You're all wrong. Get yourselves down to Sainsburys and pick up a pack of the berry flavour jelly baby mix.

Strawberry, raspberry and blackcurrant. And that's it.

They're like crack to me - I only dare buy them occasionally...

bibblybop · 16/10/2019 18:22

I love the Wild Berry skittles! Lots of red and purples mmmmmm...

Confrontayshunme · 16/10/2019 18:23

Ew! The reds are def the best, but purples literally taste like poison/household cleaner/some kind of gross cough syrup that shouldn't be sold to children.

exLtEveDallas · 16/10/2019 18:28

Skittles are best made into sweetie vodka and drunk liberally

SomeoneInTheLaaaaaounge · 16/10/2019 20:18

Yellow skittles is buuuulsheeet

holidays987 · 16/10/2019 20:18

Green are lovely! Yellow 2nd favourite. Orange and purple least.
