Just bought a bag of "Skittles Unlimited." Let's take a look at the labelling of this new artificial candystuff.
First: the flavours are "Green Slushy," "Candy Apple," "Cotton Candy," "Bubble Gum," and "Red Licorice." Yes, they've skipped the middleman; this is not artificially fruit-flavoured candy, this is artificially candy-flavoured candy.
Next: the bag reads "Skittles Unlimited (For a limited time only!)." No comment.
And finally: as a footnote, the bag makes it clear that "Unlimited" refers to "Taste variations." I assume this is to avert lawsuits from people who would otherwise be bitterly disappointed to discover that the bag is not bigger on the inside and does not come with a coupon, and thus neither contains, nor guarantees the purchaser a lifetime supply of, an unlimited supply of candy.
Tastes sweet, though. Sweet like candy.
