The rainbow tastes different, and people are not happy about it.My little sister posted something on Facebook today about the "new" original Skittles. The company has apparently replaced its lime flavored green candies with green apple ones. Awesome news, right? Granted, I haven't eaten Skittles since I was super duper jumbo size pregnant and ate so many I literally made myself sick...

Maybe I am gross, but I love green apple flavored stuff: taffy, lollipops, those caramel apples pops you can only buy at Halloween (but should be able to buy year-round because COME ON)... Skittles had offered green apple candies before back in 2001 as a "limited edition." I remember this fairly well, as it was the summer I spent at Eastern Kentucky University in the Governor's Scholars Program. It was awesome.

Anyway, people are apparently NOT PLEASED with this recent Skittles makeover. My sister was adamant that the change had forever changed the landscape of all confections. Maybe I am dishing out too much hyperbole here, but the internet isn't taking this one in stride. Check out the random video below I found on Youtube:

Dang. Girlfriend was so upset about it she's going to write a strongly-worded LETTER, y'all. I bet the people at Mars Candy are shaking in their boots.

There is already a Facebook page dedicated to bringing back the Lime Skittle; check out how MAD these people are about candy.
