I remember trying Skittles not too long after they first were advertised on television that I saw and being rather less than impressed. Every great once in a while I sample some and have been a bit more tolerant of them. For the last couple months I've seen the limited edition "Ice Cream Flavor" Skittles and today I bought a packet.
They are quite sweet. They are brightly colored. They have an unnatural feel to them when chewed. They are most certainly artificially flavored. That combination was oddly familiar. I'd tasted that before and not as Skittles. It took me a few moments to place it. Then it hit me: Skittles are what you get when you remove the last vestigial pretenses of being cereal from Trix!
