WTF Skittles?

[EmilieMadison]

You can have all of my lime skittles if I can have all of your green apple skittles.

[daisybuchannan]

They can't just change a classic like that!

[sneetch]

Gross! The orange ones are my favorite.

[azurely]

The red ones are my favorite, but I like the lime.

I hate green apple anything

[iamgrace]

ooooh. Green apple.

NO! The green one were the best!

What I don't get is all of the other candy companies are trying to bring attention to themselves. Mike and Ike broke up, the Twix factory has been broken in two, in the past there have been competitions for new colors/flavors - ie M&Ms. And Skittles didn't say anything.
My issue with the green apple ones, is they are SO much stronger in flavor than the rest of the flavors. My office has done some serious testing. If you put 4 red skittles in your mouth and 1 green one all you can taste is the green apple. It's just not a good balance for us to "taste the rainbow".

They do have red only bags! That is the only kind my friend gets but they are big bags not small ones

So there's no lime at all anymore? Why couldn't they just do 2 shades of green if they wanted apple so bad?

What?! Green apple is gross.

Lime is delicious. 

[KaraOrNot]

Lime and green apple are both gross.

I was super excited when they made them green apple.

No!  I too dislike green apple anything.  The lime skittles were good though.  The purple ones were my least favorite but I still at them.  When I used to eat Jolly Ranchers, I would always give the green and purple ones away.  Now I will have to eat all the green skittles first or toss them, then the purples, and then savor the remaining colors.

I loathe all green apple flavored things. I'm disappointed in you, skittles.

This is just as bad as when jolly ranchers replaced lemon with blue raspberry.

That's right!  I bought a bag of Jolly Ranchers after like 10 years and was like WTF what happened here?  I already don't eat the greens and purples and now I'm no fan of this blue either.  

What do candy makers have against lemon/lime flavors!  Next thing you know, yellow Starburst are going to be replaced with green apple or blue raspberry.  Ick!

I was just sitting here craving skittles.

I noticed this last week when we picked up a bag of Skittles at a gas station for our trip home. I think I complained for a good 20 min. to H about this horrific change lol.
