11-18-09 Skittles


I have always loved Skittles especially the sour skittles. I wanted to find out more about Skittles so I went on Google. Skittles are chewy, fruity flavored candies that are made by Mars, Inc. When a person bites down on a Skittle, it will be chewy and sugary tasting with the letter S on the candy. The main ingredients for Skittles are sugar, hydrogenated vegetable oil, fruit juice, citric acid, and other natural and artificial flavors. An English company was the first producer of Skittles in 1974. Finally Skittles were introduced to North America in 1979 and were imported. The first domestic production of Skittles in the United States was in 1982. Everyone knows that the saying for Skittles is “Skittles Taste the rainbow.” Skittles has recently started up an online marketing campaign and also on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. The flavors I found on the Skittles website was Original Fruit, Sour, Tropical, Wild Berry, and Crazy Cores.
