The Sweet History of Skittles:

Skittles have tantalised taste buds since their creation in the 1970s. Originating in Britain, these candies quickly gained global popularity, thanks to their unique fruity flavours and iconic slogan, "Taste the Rainbow." Each Skittle is a tiny, round, chewy candy that packs a punch of flavour, making them a favourite for people of all ages.

The Flavour Explosion

One of the reasons Skittles have remained a beloved candy for decades is their incredible variety of flavours. The original Skittles pack features five distinct flavours: strawberry, orange, lemon, green apple, and grape. Each flavour is bold and true, creating a delightful explosion in your mouth with every bite. But the fun doesn't stop there. Skittles have expanded their range to include various themed packs such as:

• Vegan-Friendly: Skittles are now gelatin-free, making them a suitable treat for vegans and vegetarians.

The Healthier Side of Skittles

While Skittles are undoubtedly a sugary treat, there are a few things to note about their ingredients:

• No Artificial Flavours: Skittles do not contain artificial flavours, which is a plus for those looking to avoid synthetic additives.
• Vegan-Friendly: As mentioned earlier, Skittles are gelatin-free, making them a suitable option for those on a vegan or vegetarian diet.
