\"Skittles<\/p>\n

I\u2019m delighted that Skittles is expanding its five-flavor mixes to include Valentine\u2019s Day. If you don\u2019t have a special someone, candy is the best part of February 14, and Skittles Love Mix is something I would gladly welcome from a secret admirer.<\/p>\n

\"Skittles<\/p>\n

\"Skittles<\/p>\n

The darkest red is cherry. Cherry is one of those default flavors that usually isn\u2019t very good, but the Skittles cherry is actually better than most other cherry-flavored candies. <\/p>\n

The medium red is strawberry, and it tastes like strawberry Starburst. I like it the best of this mix.<\/p>\n

The lightest red is watermelon. It\u2019s a nice flavor reminiscent of summertime, but to me it tastes like it should be gum.<\/p>\n

One of the whites, yumberry, returns from the America Mix. It\u2019s a benign little flavor, but I have no idea what a yumberry is.<\/p>\n

The other white is white grape. It reminds me of Dimetapp, but the grape flavor isn\u2019t extremely potent.<\/p>\n

I like all the flavors individually, and if you plop them in your mouth together, they play nicely.<\/p>\n

\"Skittles<\/p>\n

My biggest disappointment is the colors. You have five flavors for Valentine\u2019s Day, and none of them are pink? Really? The colors are so close that they\u2019re hard to distinguish. Watermelon is the only one that\u2019s instantly recognizable. The yumberry and white grape are identical; and since I don\u2019t know what a yumberry is, and the grape flavor isn\u2019t very strong, I have a hard time knowing what one I\u2019m eating even when I\u2019m chewing it. I would have rather had pink grape.<\/p>\n

\"Skittles<\/p>\n

“Pink grape?<\/em>” you ask. Well, yes. When I make juice from the green grapes that grow in my backyard, it comes out pink, oddly enough.<\/p>\n

The colors didn\u2019t tickle me pink, but the Love Mix will be an enjoyable option for your heart-shaped candy dish.<\/p>\n
