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

[acturisme]

I will die a two fisted Skittle orgy of rainbowy death!

What's a Skittle?

(one Google later)

Oooohhhhkkaayyyy....

Whatever float's your boat I guess.

I can't get Skittles in Sweden. And now I really want some. Damn you OP for reminding me of what I'm missing! D=

Time to put in an order with my sister in Ireland I suppose...

 

[Gabriela D.]

Damn straight! I like to arrange both of them in the rainbow order, then eat the surplus. Then I eat whatever colour I feel like at the time, but I always save purple and red for last.

I love Skittles, all except the red ones. My friends wait eagerly for me to finish 4 or 5 packs of skittles, then dump the reds in the middle of the table for them to fight over.

I sometimes suck on them, and then chew them. It's pretty helpful when my teeth starts aching because it softens them as well.

My favorite skittles are red, purple, and orange. basically anything other than lemon and lime.
I hate lemons, and, well, green is such a hideous color!

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.

Wait what? How many Skittles did they send?

I agree...
And, in case you actually care, it was blue Smarties they got rid of.

My friends and I actually play an interesting game with Skittles. You open up a bag of Skittles and ask a friend to hold the bag. You then ask the bag of Skittles a yes or no question and take a Skittle out of the bag. The answer depends on the color of the Skittles.
Red means "Yes"
Orange means "Probably"
Purple means "Maybe"
Yellow means "Probably not"'
Green means "No"
Then eat the Skittle. Repeat with other people. The more the merrier.

 

[Shadowkire]

I like the Red ones.

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?

Once consumed two packets of skittles in one mouthful... I like skittles but I rather agree with the concept that too much of anything makes you sick so I tend to eat my packets between at least four hour intervals. And don't hate me for this but I actually don't mind th eblue skittles... they don't taste bad..

Isn't it exactly the same thing as Smarties though?

Skittle vodka and the popular variant skittle vodka jelly is a gift from the gods!

My Dear sir, you must share with us lowly mortals what this godly nectar you speak of is and how we many acquire it for our own.

OT: I eat them in coloured pairs and always do my damnedest to never eat two of the same colour at the same time. I'm not super picky about my colour pairs but I agree those chocolate abominations were the devil's idea and thankfully didn't last.

Anyone else with me on the paired flavour combos?

 

[Daymo]

Red and Purple are the best, followed very very closely by green, unless they are of the sour variety in which case green is by far the best. Also skittle bombs are great, they don't actually use skittles in the drink, yet somehow it replicates the flavour of them and is a delcious way to get drunk, although it is expensive.

Skittles vodka is easy, you make it yourself, search around on the interwebs and you'll find all the info you need.

As for me I used to sue the lemon and lime ones for slingshot ammo but I've learned to embrace them lately, and now I eat the lemon and lime ones together, sometimes with orange ones thrown in and save the grape and strawberry ones for last.

I'm also partial to the tropical ones but they are next to impossible to find in my area and in order to get a halfway decent price on them I'd have to order them.
