Bring back green apple Skittles
The Issue
When I was a kid, there was nothing more thrilling than tearing open a pack of Skittles, knowing that hidden within that rainbow was my favorite flavor: green apple. The tart, refreshing taste was something I looked forward to enjoying every single time I got my hands on a pack. Unfortunately, a few years ago, Skittles made the decision to replace the beloved green apple flavor with lime. Like many others, I was left disappointed and yearning for that burst of flavor that was so synonymous with my childhood.
Green apple Skittles aren't just candy. They're a symbol of joy and nostalgia, reminding us of simple pleasures and carefree days. But it’s more than just about craving a specific flavor; it’s about the memories attached, the tradition of sharing packs with friends, and the excitement of sorting through to find those cherished green pieces.
The decision to switch to lime was based on a marketing strategy. According to Mars, the company behind Skittles, they believed that fans might find a new level of flavor excitement with lime, as reported by USA Today. However, the outcry from loyal Skittles fans speaks otherwise. A Reddit poll in 2018 showed a staggering 70% of users preferred green apple over lime, highlighting just how popular the original flavor was.
We recognize that commercial decisions often drive product changes, but bringing back green apple Skittles could actually be a win-win situation. By offering limited edition packs or even seasonal releases featuring green apple, Mars could both satisfy fans who miss the old flavor and attract new customers drawn by the excitement of its return.
Moreover, the demand is clear. Social media platforms are filled with memes and posts lamenting the loss of green apple Skittles, with thousands of comments from passionate fans demanding its comeback. Not only would its return please many long-time customers, but it would also create media buzz and potentially boost sales.
I urge Mars to listen to their loyal fan base and reinstate green apple Skittles to its rightful place in our candy aisles. Join me in signing this petition to show Mars that green apple Skittles are still loved and missed by many. It’s time to bring back the green apple taste that was once a cherished part of the Skittles family.
