breaking news- after about a month of walking past the New Chocolate Flavored Skittles at grocery stores, i finally caved in and bought a bag. well actually what prompted me to buy them was that my dear friend aaron (who emphatically does not read this blog) was willing to pay about 2/3 of the cost. when i initially saw the skittles for sale at candy stores, i thought "what a terrible idea." but then, because it seemed like such an obviously terrible idea, i thought "well maybe they're surprisingly good."
so i finally bought them. they were terrible. i think the best flavor was vanilla, and what was that even doing in a bag of chocolate flavored skittles? i think chocolate caramel was the worst. but seriously, do not buy them. do not fall into the counter-logic vortex like i did. people in the candy industry are not smarter than you. and they obviously have no taste buds.
