\"Skittles<\/p>\n

What are Skittles Shriekers?<\/h3>\n

There are five Skittles flavors in this mix: shocking lime (light green), ghoulish green apple (darker green), rattled raspberry (purple), citrus scream (light orange), and spine-tingling tangerine (darker orange). Most of them are normal, but \u201csome are so sour they will make you shriek!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Skittles<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same idea as the Zombie Skittles<\/a> I reviewed two years ago, but without the repulsive rotten flavor.<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

I like all the flavors! Tangerine is the most sophisticated flavor, but lime and green apple are also fantastic. Raspberry and citrus are less interesting, but I still like them.<\/p>\n

The sour ones have the same flavors as the non-sour ones, but they get more sour the more you chew (unlike regular Sour Skittles, which have a sour coating on the outside). They\u2019re less sour than Warheads, more similar to Sour Patch Kids. They didn\u2019t make me shriek, but my eyelids twitched!<\/p>\n

\"Skittles<\/p>\n

These trick-or-treat fun-size packages have about fifteen Skittles each, but only two or three are sour. That\u2019s a shame, because they\u2019re a lot of fun! With the Zombie variety, you didn\u2019t want too many gross ones, but this variety would benefit from more sour.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

Aesthetically, both the packaging and the candy itself are more Halloweeny than previous varieties. I dig it!<\/p>\n

\"Skittles<\/p>\n

But that skeleton made me have a nightmare that I took corpses and skeletons from a mausoleum to Carrie Underwood\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

\"Skittles<\/p>\n

I am so happy Skittles didn\u2019t merely change the flavors for Halloween; instead, the candy is an experience. It\u2019s definitely an improvement on the intentionally disgusting Zombie packs.<\/p>\n

I just wish there were more sour ones.<\/p>\n
