Skittles Original Fruity Candy

Skittles is a popular brand of fruit-flavored chewy candies, originally introduced in the United States by the Wrigley Company. The brand is known for its slogan 'Taste the Rainbow,' reflecting the variety of colors and flavors in each pack. Skittles are produced in multiple countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, to meet global demand. In 2008, Mars, Incorporated acquired the Wrigley Company, making Skittles a part of Mars' extensive portfolio of confectionery products. Mars, Incorporated is a privately held company headquartered in McLean, Virginia, USA, and is one of the largest privately held businesses in the world. The company operates in over 80 countries and is known for other brands such as M&M's, Snickers, and Pedigree. Skittles are available in various sizes, including single packs, sharing size bags, and party size bags, catering to different consumer preferences. The candies are made with a combination of sugar, corn syrup, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, and natural and artificial flavors, offering a sweet and tangy taste experience.
