Taste the gross purple rainbow

I want to campaign Skittles to make a packet of their candies without grape. I just can’t stand grape-flavored anything and it ruins an otherwise tasty candy. I usually just pick out all the grape pieces before I start eating them, but I think they should cater to me since I am their customer. What do you think?

My dislike for grape dates back as far as I can remember. My mom would get frustrated with me when we’d visit a relative and they only had grape kool-aid because I’d refuse to drink it. Give me fruit punch or give me death! I don’t even care for regular grape jelly on sandwiches either. While I don’t find it as disgusting as other grape-flavored items, I usually opt for strawberry or mixed berry jelly/jam instead. This is all very interesting since I do enjoy eating grapes of all colors as long as they are seedless.

Oh and who is the ad wizard who came up with “Wild Berry” Skittles because those are so gross! I’m sorry, but candy should never taste like medicine. The cherry in particular reminds me of Luden’s cough drops. And I should know: I used to suck those down like candy when I was a wee one.

  1. I don’t like Skittles much in general, but I think the grape ones are my favorite flavor. Next to red anyway. I don’t like the orange, yellow or green ones.

    But I agree with you on the grape jelly and grape kool-aid. Nasty!
