The only good skittles are the sour ones anyway. I've never liked any of the others.

Sour skittles are good but I still like the original ones. Too bad I haven't been able to eat them for years now because they use gelatin in their product in the US. The same with starburst. Oh how I love starburst sad.gif.

The UK version of skittles doesn't have gelatin. Those bastards!

UK skittles aren't vegetarian even without the gelatin so it doesn't really matter. tongue.gif They've got some stuff from some insect in the shell...

Nvm, apparently it's only a 'secretion' from the insect, so vegetarians are fine but vegans aren't. tongue.gif

Skittles are also not certified as being Halaal by any certifying authority and should be avoided by Muslims.

WHAT?! Insect?

I don't mind if it's not vegetarian tongue.gif. If it has like fish gelatin then I'm cool tongue.gif.

The gelatin used in the US is usually pork based. A bit problematic for Jews and Muslims non?

Chocolate Skittles.

Pretty much pointless.
Sounds like M&ms to me!
What's next?
M&ms going to make fruity flavors?! Hhahahaha!

I won't be trying these.

Uhm. Have you ever TRIED these? They aren't like M&Ms at ALL. I had a bag just the other day, they're like Skittles in the fact that the entire candy has the flavor instead of having to break through the shell to get to it like in M&Ms.

There's also various flavors of chocolate in the bag, Brownie Batter, Pudding, hell they even snuck Vanilla in there.

Really, don't knock something until you've tried it.

So they don't actually have chocolate in? They're just chocolate flavoured?
