I want to talk to you about Skittles (an important issue).

[El Dwarfio]

Good evening to you, can you spare a minute to talk about Skittles?

You see, I live for skittles and it's a surprisingly fulfilling existence. I'm certain there are skittles in Valhalla that whisper my name, some say "I was eaten by El Dwarfio when he penned his epic "Causes of the Permian-Triassic Extinction." Others prefer to brag about how they were consumed during the more light-headed "Effects of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone on Global Climates" some skittles with no ambition merely regale tales of being eaten on the way home from the shop.

Here are some interesting facts about me and Skittles.

1) I always eat the non-Green/Yellow skittles first and then binge all the Green and Yellow (Master-Race) skittles last.

2) In England they added the Blue Skittle, it is shit and a false skittle, I thus moved to the USA where they still have the original Skittles, despite the huge costs the move was justified.

3) I never share Skittles, sometimes my friends steal them, they often don't realise it because I offer them first, but if you steal my Skittles I will have revenge.

4) Back when I was a lad in school a friend knocked my open packet of skittles into a puddle. I broke his collarbone and ate the skittles.

5) Skittles are proven to increase many traits including (but not limited to); Productivity, Creativity and Tooth Decay.

So Escapians! What is your favourite colour (colours?) of skittle? Do you have any Skittle related anecdotes? And do you have any special nuances you display during the consummation of your love for said skittles?

I like the Red and Purple ones.

I also tried an experiment from The Simpson's to try and invent beer with the candy floating in it...y'know....Skittlebrau. Sadly, such a product does not exist, so I just got a six pack and a couple bags of skittles.

There's something wrong with anyone who doesn't like Skittles. The red ones are my favorite, but they're all good.

 

[Screamarie]

I eat all the lemon and lime skittles first because they are my least favorite. Then the orange. Finally the red and purple and sometimes I eat them together. It is yum.

 

[El Dwarfio]

Holy shit, you moved because they had a skittle color you didn't like? get help.

Do they the blue ones in Ireland? If they don't then you clearly don't understand the gravity of the situation. However, I unfortunately found them during a short stay in Vancouver and thus it is likely they have infected Ireland as well, in which case you need help, I fear for your soul.

All things considered my reaction was pretty mild, I heard of a pair of Skittle extremists who sent an envelope full of blue skittles to the Queen, luckily it was a butler who opened it, he was in intensive care for six months.

I think you may be deranged!

Just kidding. Look out, the blue skittle will affect the UK, then europe, then america and then, THE WOOOOOOOOOOORLD?!?! Also how do you feel about sour skittles.

Oh my god don't get me started on them. There are also some new breed of skittles that come in a purple packet and they're horrific as well. It's genetic modification gone mad.

There are only 5 real varieties of Skittles.

I once put skittles in ice cream.

That wasn't great. Skittles are good enough to exist on their own. Some say they represent a higher plane of existence.

Ah, someone else who loves the green and yellow skittles.

My least favorite has always been the orange skittles, so I usually leave them all out and eat the rest.

I also occasionally enjoy sour skittles. Although they can be quite messy.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I love skittles!

The purple ones are my favorite, and you know what type of skittle is also yummy? The sour ones, you know, the ones with the powder sour stuff on them. They were awesome.

The tropical ones were weird.

Segregation is wrong, that is why I never separate my skittles by color. I eat them as they come out of the package.
Also, whoever dared to produce the foul and blasphemous chocolate skittles should be flayed alive, dragged across a slat flat, nearly drowned in a vat of pure lemon juice then forced to listen to Alvin and the Chipmunks while being beaten with metal-studded belts.

Chocolate Skittles? Are you sure you're not thinking about M&M's?

Sadly, no. A few years back, in America at least, chocolate flavored skittles were released. They had the same consistency as regular skittles but, supposedly, tasted like chocolate. Personally, I found them to be one of the most foul and disgusting things I've ever tasted and I've tried Red Bull, Vanilla Coke and coke mixed with milk (drank it on a dare).

Now that I think about it, I do think I remember seeing those before. Never tried them though.

It was too long without an ElDwarfio thread .

I love green and yellow. They go hand in hand better than a chainsword and bolt-pistol.

 

[z121231211]

Damn it. I had a dollar in my pocket and now it's gone.

These Skittles are good though.

 

[EeveeElectro]

...I like the purple and green ones best. I always put them in rainbow order and one time I had a big bag and went batshit hyper.

I thought there was a big thing about them banning blue skittles cause it made kids the most hyper? Or was that Smarties? It was all shite anyway.
