Skittles candy

Skittles is a globally recognized brand of fruit-flavored bite-sized candies originally created in 1974. While they were first produced in the United Kingdom by an English company, they was introduced to North America shortly after, leading to massive international growth. Known for the 'Taste the Rainbow' slogan, the snacks are now a staple in the confectionery market.

Today, Skittles is manufactured in several locations globally to meet regional demand, with major facilities located in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Czech Republic. The brand is under the ultimate ownership of Mars, Incorporated, an American multinational manufacturer of confectionery, pet food, and other food products. This privately held company ensures local distribution through its various international subsidiaries, maintaining its position as one of the world's leading candy brands.
