Skittles (Candy) Overview
Skittles is produced and marketed by the Wrigley company, a division of Mars, Inc. Skittles is a fruit flavoured candy consisting with hard sugar shells imprinted with the letter “S”. This candy has been sold in various flavoured collections including Deddert, Wild berry, Tropical and sweet heat and sour. The interior of the candy consists of sugar, fruit juice, citric acid, natural and artificial colours as well as corn syrup and hydrogenatedpalm kernel oil.
History
Skittles was originally made by a British Company in 1974. The candy was first introduced in North America in 1979 as an import confectionery. In 1982 Skittles’ domestic production began in the USA. The “taste the rainbow” theme was created by New York ad agency D’arcy Masius Benton & Bowles. The original Skittles were orange, lemon, lime, strawberry and grape. Although the original Skittles are no longer sold in the US, the company labels their packages as if they are original.
Furthermore earlier products tended to focus on fruit flavours. However the more recent products have bifurcated to include flavours such as bubble gum, chocolate, popcorn, mint and sours. In March 2009 the company launched a web-based marketing campaign. Their official website became an intersection between their social media sites including Youtube Channel links, Facebook profile and a Twitter account. Skittles has one of the most liked facebook pages with 25m followers. The page’s success is most likely driven by the eccentric posts.
Moreover, Skittles are produced in a wide choice of colours and flavours including the sour variety. The company hints the new flavour releases via its facebook page. Skittles replaced the lime flavoured candy with green apple instead in 2013 which subsequently created a backlash with some consumers. Uniquely lime was shifted to their Darkside packets which became discontinued in 2015 followed by their Orchards packets which were discontinued in 2017. Additionally Lime is now currently part of the “Long Lost Lime” packets that came out in summer 2017 and 2018.
