Description
I'm surprised no one has mentioned these yet- I think they came out in the 80's. I was in 4th grade (1985) when I first saw the commercial- I remember one girl had them in her lunch bag one day- we were all begging her to give us ONE PIECE! The strawberry flavor was hands down the most popular flavor at school (good for trading!) I think they still use the same slogan in the commercials "taste the rainbow". Yum!

I used to be up on skittles in a major way; not so much now.

Very fruity and delicious. They have so many flavors now from smoothie, berry and ice cream. And also sour and tropical.

Oh yeah, Skittles - still the best fruit candy there is! And the original version hasn't changed a bit since their debut in the mid-80s. Even the packaging is basically the same. I think (THINK) they came out in the summer of 1984. I remember vacationing with my family at the Jersey shore that year (age 5), and my sisters and I were allowed to eat all the Skittles we wanted during the long car trip from Ohio to NJ. Ah, memories. Skittles, the seashore and Billy Joel's 'For the Longest Time' will ALWAYS conjure up the summer of 1984 for me.
