Skittles Fruit Candies

Skittles is a world-renowned brand of fruit-flavored confectionery, characterized by its hard sugar shells and chewy centers. Originally created in the United Kingdom in 1974, the brand gained massive popularity after being introduced to North America in 1979.

Today, Skittles is owned by Mars, Incorporated, a global leader in the food and pet care industries. While the brand has British origins, its manufacturing footprint is global, with major production facilities in the United States, the Czech Republic, and several other locations to serve international markets. In the UK and Ireland, the product is distributed via Mars Wrigley Confectionery UK Ltd, as indicated by the packaging details.
