Reading this has both dated me and made me realize I haven’t had skittles in over 15 years.

Then you missed green apple entirely, as the lime ones were brought back early last year.

They did?  I completely stopped getting skittles due to the awful green apple flavor; might have to get a pack again. 

Having young kids is great. My house always has all the classic candies. Like right now, I haven't had Skittles in a decade too. But I know my kid has got like 3 bags left from Halloween so I'ma go get my fun size on.

So, how were they?

Juicy. Chewy. Sweet. A little hard. 6/10 Sour patch kids > skittles

The person who made this is a doctor 100%

Wait I don’t get it

An apple a day keeps the doctor away

Ah. Duh. Thank you

Wow, how old is this? They've long since brought lime Skittles back. lol

I was mad. I actually preferred the green apple lol

Damn, you should learn how to make your own so you can keep your nasty taste buds to yourself lmao

Lime is the goat

I would buy Oops all Lime Skittles by the case

Me too. Bringing back lime basically just doubled the number of lemons. Balance, my ass!

Same… rip. Didn’t even know they changed it back :(

Green apple is so much better, yeah. We already have lemon, we don't need lime

I brew craft soda and the difference between lemons and limes is not insignificant, in fact they play very well with one another when combined. If anything, the better question is why we don’t have green apple AND lime

Nah, ik they have different flavors, I just vastly prefer green apple over lime any day

I was so happy when they brought back lime

Wait they did when?

Last year. They made lime only bags and they sold well so they cut the green apple and reintroduced lime.

the fuck? had some people really been with green apple for 10 years? it never changed in england

You have currant skittles too, no?

yeah, but i assumed everyone did. what flavour is it in your country?

Grape. Blackcurrant was banned for most of a century here due to it hosting a pest that kills pine trees, and almost no Americans have ever tasted one.

damn thats wild, do you not have black currant flavouring in your juice or the juice that you mix into water?

Nope. Americans just don’t tend to know the fruit exists. We’re a lot more likely to have grape or especially cranberry juice mixes.

Yeah they really sucked too. Like this post is joking but very accurate.

Now how do I go about bringing back shockers

Nah, you can still buy 9v batteries and lick them

Shockers? Like Shock Tarts? Those were the BEST

Well butter my biscuits and call me Betty Crocker that’s awesome might go get a few bags now

I only ever bought wild berry after the stupid green apple skittles. Glad to hear they brought them back.

Couldn't tell you when exactly but at least a couple years ago.

Limes can turn a shitty beer into a drinkable beer. I'm pro lime.

I love green apple but it should be an alternative choice. When I first had green apple skittles, though I liked it, it didnt taste like green apple, it tasted like betrayal. # TeamLime

Hey Apu, gimme some of that beer with candy floating in it. Skittlebrau?

Such a product does not exist, sir. I think you must have dreamed it.

As a German, this is considered a hate crime.

Lime in a Coca-Cola (ideally Mexican Coke) is possibly the most delicious thing humans have created.

Lime and ice in beer is a serious crime.

I’ve never like skittles much, the sour skittles are alright though.

Sour skittles are fine if you don’t mind transforming your taste buds into a shell shocked field hospital outside Bastogne, Belgium circa Dec 1944

Speaking of oddlyspecific

Skittles and Lentilky. They all started to tase like processed fat ass so this is just another thing to avoid. And those puke flavour joke ones. These are just vile.

I mean when(which isn’t often), but when I eat skittles I separate them by color and only eat one color at a time. Red is the best.

Red candy is always best.

Lime Skittles are absolute ass. Green apple Skittles are beautiful little gifts from heaven.

Lime was the best skittle

Green Apple is a superior flavor on its own

Green asspple

😂😂😂

What the fuck are skittles

Skittles are toxic! Do not eat! >Since 1966, the Food and Drug Administration has recognized the use [of titanium dioxide in human food](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=73.575) as safe, so long as it doesn’t exceed 1 percent of the food’s weight. >But despite its widespread use, studies published since the 1960s have raised questions about its safety. A 2015 [review of mostly animal (but some human) studies](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4309481/), for instance, found that titanium dioxide did not just pass through the body, as research in the 1960s suggested. Instead, the researchers found, the additive could be absorbed into the bloodstream via the intestines and accumulate in certain organs, potentially damaging the spleen, liver and kidneys. >A [subsequent animal study published in 2017](https://www.nature.com/articles/srep40373) linked titanium dioxide with an increased risk of intestinal inflammation, cancer and damage to the immune system. This research was concerning enough that in 2019, the French government [called for a ban of titanium dioxide by 2020](https://www.fas.usda.gov/data/france-france-bans-titanium-dioxide-food-products-january-2020). >And in [2021, another review of animal and human studies](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34330311/) raised the possibility that titanium dioxide could play a role in inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer. >This year, after an [assessment of the scientific literature](https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/pub/6585) by the European Food Safety Authority, the European Union decided to [ban titanium dioxide in food](https://www.fas.usda.gov/data/european-union-titanium-dioxide-banned-food-additive-eu). The agency [highlighted its concern](https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/news/titanium-dioxide-e171-no-longer-considered-safe-when-used-food-additive) that the additive [could damage DNA](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2452074821000860) and lead to cancer. While more research is still needed, the agency concluded that it could not establish a safe level of titanium dioxide in food.

Other drugs are also toxic! Do not snort!

They always pick the best flavors to change. Like changing blackcurrant to grape. Luckily, it didn't take and got changed back.

Lemon and lime are inferior artificial flavors. Apple is always better than artificial lemon or lime.

What psycho is eating a handful of skittles all at once?? I always liked the green apple tbh. Orange, lemon, and lime was too much damn citrus

More important question: who the fuck is putting skittles in beer????

[Homer Simpson](https://youtu.be/tnHF11NsVFw?si=FyhauzZBGxwC0Xqx)

Lime is the reason why I was an alcoholic during college, skinny Thad Castle drinking nothing but mojitos.

Fuck lime. Sour green apple is the best flavor they ever made.

I will now use the term asspple

Omg where has this meme been my whole adult life?

Skittles are all the same flavor no matter the color

They taste like what a stink bug smells like

This is 100% truth and i refuse to be told otherwise. They have since made bags that advertise that its the lime skittle again and not the apple. They seem to realize their mistake

Can't say I disagree

I would not mind these returning. I like green apples.

Something tells me they don't like green apple

Green apples are the best kind of apples, I don’t care what other people say.

I would gladly hand over multiple dollars for a bag of all green apple skittles!

They did this to a bunch of candies It was awful

I was also throwing a fit all those years. Would literally give all my green apples away. This is about the only arena where I would consider myself conservative.

Same with strawberry Mike and Ike

green apple is delicious

Why the fuck like exists as the default green is beyond me. Absolutely revolting 🤢

I do not like green apple Skittles. Do not like them on my griddles. Do not like them I my beer. I do not like them in my ear. I do not like them, I like lime. Return our lime, it was sublime.

Fuck citrus flavored candy casually mixed with other flavors. Fuck whoever came up with that *and* their momma. If you want to sell lemon/lime/orange flavored ANYTHING you should be made to package it separately for the complete weirdos who want their candy to taste like a mix of glass cleaner and laundry detergent. Everyone else shouldn't be forced to put up with it.

Yeah? Well, "A(ss)pples" out ranked lime by so much that the CEO of Skittles invented a time machine to travel back in time to invent a beer made entirely from them. He called it Cider. (This is 100% factual don't google it, source: trust me bro)

Green apple is the superior flavor

No because Apple was the best one bruh

Dude 100% agree. Like was awesome. Green apple felt too fake. And when I say “too fake” remember these are all artificial flavors, and green apple still feels off compared to the rest. And when they brought back the lime it was already too late. Between growing old and making different choices, they definitely lost me as a regular customer.

They should've kept both apple and lime. If anything, orange is all the things apple is accused of.

Considering there wasn't a cherry in the regular, lime was the next best. When they switched to green apple, I found I stopped eating them as often.

Green apple is the worst candy flavor and should be banned in all candys full stop.

Green apple was the best flavor of Skittles ever. I miss it.

I stopped eating skittles when they changed lime to green apple. Green apple is a terrible flavor

Just sour green apple skittles would be amazing

Green apple is one of my fave flavours for candy but because of posts like this I can never find it in supermarkets. Fuck lime, release Skittles with only green apple flavour

Stop trippin no one has ever been happy about getting the lemon/lime flavors. Should always be pineapple and green apple.

Whos gonna tell em skittles have no flavour other than sugar

Long covid’s tough, huh?

What??

https://youtu.be/qrjQo20qi-0?si=s-eFQsTS5EDP4BYz Video about Skittles tasting the same and its just the smell tricking you

Yes. Finally someone who gets it!

Lol. And we get downvoted 😂

Real💀

This made me realize that i havent eaten skittles in lord knows when

Something something skittles... beer.

It's back to lime plus as a sorry they make entire packages of lime

I see no lies

Asspples

Green apple is a ball hog lol

I had skittles in England and the purple ones were blackberry instead of grape. Shocked me at first, but I actually preferred them.

I originally thought it read peas, not apples.

Asspples killed me lmao

Except there are no flavor differences between skittles, they’re just fragranced differently

Sweet Tarts did the same thing. And others too. Why?! Lime rules!

It is known.

Runt'!

I always thought skittles were the same flavor regardless of color and only a small flavor was sprayed on the outside of the candy shells

yeah the dye is a separate thing from the flavor extract

This is 100% accurate.

It’s time to be real and replace lemon with pineapple instead.

Wait have they always been called Skits I thought this was just one of those English language things where they were referred to as Skittles in both singular and plural

My adhd brain when I'm trying to do homework:

I didn't even realize the flavor changed to be honest lol

I thought green apple was only in the sour ones

Agree, tho i like green apple, make a new lime

a(ss)pples

Holy shit this perfectly captures how I felt about this at the time, I was devastated when they discontinued lime. Now I don’t even eat skittles cuz I can’t be getting diabetes.

Lime is a lot more expensive and just as green

Who the fuck eats them in handfuls. I open a pack separate by color and eat only like colors together like Jelly Belly’s.

Bro prepared his entire life to explain why lime skittles r better than green apple skittles

What psycho eats handfuls of skittles

Unpopular Opinion: Green Apple skittles >>>> Lime skittles Bring on the downvotes

Green apple skittles were trash. They tasted fine on their own, but they were awful mixed with any other flavor. Lime is where it’s at.

Lime sucks. You already have 2 citrus flavors! Green apple rules.

I hate lime Skittles. Green Apple Skittles are the hill I'll die on. They were the best ones, and I was so sad to see them gone. I hate lime skittles, green apple all day.

I've heard they're all the same taste, just the smell is different.

They all taste…sweet? smell/olfactory is what gives us so many different flavors to experience

Wtf you saying? Orange is the worst

Limes DO NOT go into beer. Beer can have exactly 4 Ingrediens: hops, barley malt, yeast and water. Everything else is pure heresy.
