Skittles
I think they changed the formula or flavor, somehow. Either that or I am getting defective bags or there is something wrong with my taste buds.
I am a skittles addict, and the bag I am eating today is the third where the flavors all taste slightly different. Not in a good way.

That hasn't stopped me - maybe I should eat the 3 lb bag to cure me.sunflower wrote:I used to love those until one fateful day when I ate a one pound bag...have never been able to touch them since!peacock2121 wrote:Have never been a fan.

I bet they did change the recipe, and sorta like when Coke changed theirs, some will love it, some will hate it, they'll lose some customers and gain others.sunflower wrote:I think they changed the formula or flavor, somehow.

How many remember that the purple ones used to have a strawberry center instead of grape? I was annoyed when they changed it.

No, those are just green Skittles! And that 2007 expiration date was just a typo....

I don't know. Last time I've eaten skittles, which was a short time ago, they didn't taste very different to me.

Maybe you're taking that "taste the rainbow" slogan a little too literally.

Re: Skittles
The oranges at my store don't look like that...but the lemons...last time I bought some shrimp from the store (still frozen so it was deemed safe), I bought a lemon from a basket in front of the seafood counter. Looked and felt okay. THE NEXT DAY it was covered in mold!! WTF??
And people wonder why I pay twice the price to shop at Whole Foods, at least the stuff is fresh. If you find anything bad there, they'll give you one for free.
