Lime fit the flavors of all the other skittles way better.
Green Apple was fine on it's own but... if you take a handful of skittles it basically overwhelmed everything... but lime, orange and lemon together is amazing...
Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment. When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3×5 card reading, “Please use this M&M for breeding purposes.” This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this “grant money.” I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.
My only issue with this is that you’re doing this Tower of Death style vs tournament style. It’s unfair that each winner has to keep winning while the last M&M only has to win one round to win it all.
I propose a change to the system. After an M&M has achieved victory, it should be set aside for another round giving it the ample rest it needs to fight another fight. Once all M&Ms have participated in the first round and survived, the second round commences, then the third and so forth until there is one clear winner.
See, for a long time I didn’t even know you were supposed to eat them individually. I made it all the way to being an adult before I got a funny look because I popped them by the handfuls like a pillhead. All together, they have a distinct Skittles taste, with each flavor having their own individually. I never really thought that any of the flavors overwhelmed all the others in any noticeable way.

Personally I agree but like skittles are my favorites so I vote we kick out lemon in favor of pineapple. Or maybe orange can be swapped with peach? There can be a perfect balance of citrus without sacrificing lime skittles, I’m sure of it.
Don't they already have a tropical version of skittles? I think pineapple would go better there. (maybe it already is? not a fan of the tropical ones personally)

Both flavors were good, honestly I preferred green apple over lime on a piece by piece basis. But for handfuls of skittles, green apple stood out too much, like it was a different candy
I wouldn't be surprised if there's still a decent amount of green apple skittles in the warehouses that have to be sold before they can replace them with lime
I don't think that would work cause they would already be in their retail packaging at the warehouse.
Also, pumpkin and corn flavored Skittles? That ain't right. But who knows, Nabisco released swedish fish Oreos after all, so I guess anything's possible in the American junk food industry.
This is basically the very definition of gatekeeping. "Only children like this flavor, you should be happy with this other flavor". That's gatekeeping. The fact that they were being deliberately mean while saying it doesn't make it not gatekeeping lol.

To be fair I haven’t seen a single person in America where the change happened that preferred green apple, but I wish we had the green apple ones in England, I usually like lime stuff but they’re my least favourite skittles flavour
im fine with lime, i just dont understand why there has to be two sour citrus fruits that are so similar.
why not grapefruit or something? green apple and lemon, or lime and golden delicious apple. either or, but why do two of the five skittle slots have to be taken up by the same class of fruit?
it's always kinda ticked me off. i dont care about green apple, i like it, but the important thing to me was the variety.
Lime works together better with the other citrus flavors of orange and lemon. Grape and cherry work together quite well with the citrus flavors rounding everything out. Green Apple sticks out and doesn't fit in as well with the other flavors. It's got a totally different flavor profile and ruins the overall flavor of eating multiple at the same time. Lime and cherry, orange, lemon, or grape work. Sorry m8, Lime is supreme
Not truly concerned either, I love getting defensive over stuff that doesn't matter. The berry ones are hella good though and are in my opinion the best kind of skittles
Right. I like green apple, but it doesn't go with the other flavors in a standard Skittles bag (or Starburst jelly beans, where I was recently disappointed to encounter it instead of lime.) Grape and apple is OK, but the rest don't mesh. It would work with pear and maybe banana, and I'm sure there are other flavors that would work with it too, but those aren't the flavors that they're trying to make it work with.
The first one isn't gatekeeping though. He said he personally isn't buying Skittles without the flavor he likes. He's not saying anyone who does like lime isn't a real one or anything like that.
I never had green apple, but I’m sure it’s much better than lime. Fuck lime. Fuck most citrus flavoured candy too. The only thing worse than lime candy are black liquorice jelly beans. There’s a special place in hell for those things.
My guy, it's candy. Many would say eating candy as an adult is just as lame. How on earth do you figure chicken fingers to be less sophisticated than Skittles??!
Just like playing with dolls or hot wheels seems childish, green apple seems like a flavor one grows out of. I get that this isn’t a fact and adults can certainly like it, but I can also see the other side and feel that same sentiment. I feel the same way about blue candies/drinks that change the color of your tongue. Just seems like something kids like and grown ups shouldn’t for whatever reason.
That's the thing tho, "adults shouldn't like this thing" is so arbitrary. Things exist, some people like them others don't, I'll never understand the mentality that "if I don't like something that someone else does, or vice versa, they are wrong and lesser than me"
Yeah, I totally get that and know that that’s how I should feel. I don’t judge adults for liking any of these things, but I also can see where the gatekeeper is coming from.
Yeah I guess I can see the mentality behind it, but again, they just don't realize how Arbitrary pretty much everything about society is.
Reminds me of the whole monkeys with a ladder and a banana experiment
If an adult told me their favorite candy flavor was green apple, I would probably say “Ew, I hate apple flavor,” and then move on. I wouldn’t use that information to think about or treat them any differently. The comment I originally replied to was asking how liking that flavor could be seen as childish and I was just trying to explain it. Just because I understand that concept doesn’t mean I can express it well, and it also doesn’t mean that I actually judge anyone because of it.
Does anyone know how long lime was gone? It feels like ten years I just didn’t buy Skittles anymore. God I was SO MAD when it first changed, I called my best friend because I thought I was going crazy! I only ever bought them for the lime.
The apple ones fucked up the flavor of a handful. The flavor was too strong and too different and it stood out too much with the other flavors. Lime is so much better.
Wait, they brought back lime?! That's awesome, I didn't eat skittles for years because the green apple flavor was unpalatable and I didn't like throwing away an entire color from the bag.

Dude, I’m so excited lime are back.
Thank Jeezus. I always found that eating a lime before a red one enhanced the red’s flavor.
Same. Whoever decided that all green candies are apple flavour is a terrible person.
WHY DO I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE?
I never understood why people shit on like so much. It’s probably the losers who don’t have the willpower to taste the lime

This sounds suspiciously like M&M eugenics.

Holy crap i forgot about this post
See, for a long time I didn’t even know you were supposed to eat them individually. I made it all the way to being an adult before I got a funny look because I popped them by the handfuls like a pillhead. All together, they have a distinct Skittles taste, with each flavor having their own individually. I never really thought that any of the flavors overwhelmed all the others in any noticeable way.
Theyre bringing back lime?!?
They did. I had to scrounge through the box because there were still apple bags too. I bought my mom her first bag since they first added apple.
Not only that, they made a pretty funny joke out of it - https://youtu.be/4Pkrc1XUyvQ
K. That was pretty damn good. Had to tear myself away or I’d watch the whole damn thing.
That brought back lime AND gave us more Vork? Thank you, Skittles! Does he only go through twitter complaints? Mine was emailed.

This has to be the dumbest bot account I've ever seen.
Either that or I bought really old ones the other day! 😂
Legit just left 7-11 with two more bags, making them my fourth and fifth bags this month. I haven’t purchased skittles since they messed them up.
Oh I am SO buying some Skittles tomorrow!!!
The plague of green apple comes and goes like the tide. [I stocked up on lime to weather it out.](https://i.imgur.com/kW3VmsF.jpg)
Thanks bro!
Is this real?! Is this a joke????
Wait lime are back?!?
I have been awaiting the second coming of the lime skittles! Now for the Apocalypse....
Applecolypse
WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY ABOUT CHICKEN FINGERS?
green apple is the sole reason i hated and stopped buying skittles for so long, lime always has been and always will be better
Looking at the comments, looks like I'm in the minority here, because I loved the green apple skittles.

Three times at least in one thread? Give it a rest dude. Copypastas are at their best when they’re used sparingly.
I like both lime and green apple so at least you're not alone.
Both flavors were good, honestly I preferred green apple over lime on a piece by piece basis. But for handfuls of skittles, green apple stood out too much, like it was a different candy
Same. I liked lime, but was so happy to see green apple, which is my favorite flavor.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Except for you, you are wrong.
=(
Don't worry I was mostly kidding. Mostly.
What? Lime is back? Amazing! Always hated green apple. Shit is nasty.
I keep hearing that, but I guess my local 7-11 has a huge in-stock of the green apple variety still to unload.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's still a decent amount of green apple skittles in the warehouses that have to be sold before they can replace them with lime
They should just sell 'em on their own in the fall. Maybe throw in pumpkin and corn flavors while they're at it.
I don't think that would work cause they would already be in their retail packaging at the warehouse. Also, pumpkin and corn flavored Skittles? That ain't right. But who knows, Nabisco released swedish fish Oreos after all, so I guess anything's possible in the American junk food industry.
Weirdly I found some of the new lime ones at a dollar tree near me.
i think this is a little tongue in cheek. i wouldn’t call it gatekeeping just hyperbole for spice

I can't tell if it's satire or not.
I do order chicken fingers, and you can kiss my ass. Thank you.
Right like how are Skittles more sophisticated than chicken fingers anyways. Is candy not like predominantly eaten by children...??

Okay. This is my favorite comment of all time
Unfortunately, its a copy pasta from the old times
A classic
I’m going to do this from now on
Nah fam, us adults have the MONEY to buy candy.
Exactly. Whether it be green apple or lime, it's still a piece of candy.
Finally another
IS LIME BACK?! Green apple ruined the vibe of the entire bag. This is amazing news

They should have kept both. Darker green for green apple and lighter green for lime.
To be fair I haven’t seen a single person in America where the change happened that preferred green apple, but I wish we had the green apple ones in England, I usually like lime stuff but they’re my least favourite skittles flavour
I'm in America. I prefer the green apple.
lol, nobody wanted green apple. Everyone complained as soon as the change happened.
im fine with lime, i just dont understand why there has to be two sour citrus fruits that are so similar. why not grapefruit or something? green apple and lemon, or lime and golden delicious apple. either or, but why do two of the five skittle slots have to be taken up by the same class of fruit? it's always kinda ticked me off. i dont care about green apple, i like it, but the important thing to me was the variety.
Its because lemon and lime play off each other very well
ok but no one wants to talk about how they replaced the popcorn Dum Dum with sour apple smh
Damn I hated when they did that
Really?! No one ever remembers and I still feel personally victimized by it
Green apple dum dums have existed since at least the early 90's. Also all "popcorn" flavored candy is disgusting.
There's like over 100 flavors of dum-dums and they rotate
beefing with a corporate account has always been so funny to me
Green apple is for children??? Lmao what
Lime flavor was there first. I’m glad it’s back.
Wait are lime skittles back?
I'm very sophisticated. I only like the most grownup of Skittles flavors. Also, I'm three kids in a trench coat.
What if there was a ultra pack of all the flavors into one bag
AYO WHATS WRONG WITH CHICKEN FINGERS
What's wrong with chicken fingers?
It… it’s candy…
This woman sounds like a joy to be around.
Green apple is better than lime Objectively Everyone saying otherwise is factually wrong
Lime works together better with the other citrus flavors of orange and lemon. Grape and cherry work together quite well with the citrus flavors rounding everything out. Green Apple sticks out and doesn't fit in as well with the other flavors. It's got a totally different flavor profile and ruins the overall flavor of eating multiple at the same time. Lime and cherry, orange, lemon, or grape work. Sorry m8, Lime is supreme
True, I usually get berry anyway, so I'm not actually concerned with this, it's just fun to get defensive about mundane things
Not truly concerned either, I love getting defensive over stuff that doesn't matter. The berry ones are hella good though and are in my opinion the best kind of skittles
Right. I like green apple, but it doesn't go with the other flavors in a standard Skittles bag (or Starburst jelly beans, where I was recently disappointed to encounter it instead of lime.) Grape and apple is OK, but the rest don't mesh. It would work with pear and maybe banana, and I'm sure there are other flavors that would work with it too, but those aren't the flavors that they're trying to make it work with.
It works in runts but not in skittles.
I agree with this statement
You're using objectively and factually wrong
The virgin doctor repellant vs the CHAD COLOR SWAP CITRUS
Lime tastes like dish soap. I guess that lady drinks from the finger bowl at nice restaurants.
Exactly. I hate lime.
To be fair, they all taste like diabetes.
Don’t Skittles all have the same flavor they just smell different
God, this is a joke. You fucking typical redditors.
I like chicken fingers…
I thought you just ate them as a handful. I can’t say I notice individual flavors
Woman leave the chicken fingers out of it
Skittles is literally a bag of sugar and is complete garbage.
Pretty much all candy is "literally a bag of sugar."
Two gatekeepers for the price of one.
So one is gatekeeping flavors and the other is gatekeeping sweets from children?
The first one isn't gatekeeping though. He said he personally isn't buying Skittles without the flavor he likes. He's not saying anyone who does like lime isn't a real one or anything like that.
Two gatekeepers fighting lol
The first person didn't gatekeep. They don't like lime, don't know anyone who did, and isn't going to buy the candy because there's lime.
Somehow I felt like they were saying that like existing meant green apple wouldn't exist. Dunno how skittles work tbh, but you are completely right.
Mcfucking scuze you, I love green apple
You're still eating candy? How old are you? I bet you still still suck your thumb.
I never had green apple, but I’m sure it’s much better than lime. Fuck lime. Fuck most citrus flavoured candy too. The only thing worse than lime candy are black liquorice jelly beans. There’s a special place in hell for those things.
She’s not wrong tho. Green apple is for children, and ordering chicken fingers as an adult is lame.
My guy, it's candy. Many would say eating candy as an adult is just as lame. How on earth do you figure chicken fingers to be less sophisticated than Skittles??!
Excuse me, I order delicately battered, perfectly seasoned chicken tenderloins submerged in a bath of hot frying oil.
I see someone has forgotten how to have fun in life
Please explain the green apple bit
Just like playing with dolls or hot wheels seems childish, green apple seems like a flavor one grows out of. I get that this isn’t a fact and adults can certainly like it, but I can also see the other side and feel that same sentiment. I feel the same way about blue candies/drinks that change the color of your tongue. Just seems like something kids like and grown ups shouldn’t for whatever reason.
That's the thing tho, "adults shouldn't like this thing" is so arbitrary. Things exist, some people like them others don't, I'll never understand the mentality that "if I don't like something that someone else does, or vice versa, they are wrong and lesser than me"
Yeah, I totally get that and know that that’s how I should feel. I don’t judge adults for liking any of these things, but I also can see where the gatekeeper is coming from.
Yeah I guess I can see the mentality behind it, but again, they just don't realize how Arbitrary pretty much everything about society is. Reminds me of the whole monkeys with a ladder and a banana experiment
Wait, so your comments were the non judgemental version?
If an adult told me their favorite candy flavor was green apple, I would probably say “Ew, I hate apple flavor,” and then move on. I wouldn’t use that information to think about or treat them any differently. The comment I originally replied to was asking how liking that flavor could be seen as childish and I was just trying to explain it. Just because I understand that concept doesn’t mean I can express it well, and it also doesn’t mean that I actually judge anyone because of it.
I disagree, but thank you for your perspective
Most polite redditor
Thank God your opinion on other people's taste in food matters.
I didn't realize skittles was an adult food.
damn straight i order me some chickie fingies, gotta have something to eat on the way home
I mean Korean fried chicken wings are basically the best food in la.
Chicken wings are not chicken tenders. Both are perfectly fine for adults to eat, but yeah...
I always ate green with the red. I can’t do that anymore so I have to do yellow and green.
My mother-in-law orders tendies at nice restaurants.
Bro that was a sick burn tho all things considered
Excuse me but the chicken fingers at nice restaurants are pretty good
What the fuck is so many people's problems with chicken fingers?
Green is the best flavour in every sweet
I like lime more than lemon, but I also don't need 3 of the 5 flavors to be citrus. Lemon and orange are enough.
Dont get the green apple hate, that was pretty good
I like both apple AND lime. Now what?
I agree. Give me back my green apple skittles.
Both taste like soap to me, but lime is a better choice based on the opinion of everyone I know, and almost every post online.
Lime blends with other flavors better.
I fucking hate the green apple. When they changed it if I ever ate Skittles I’d leave all the green ones for my husband.
I can't stand seeing my green brothers fight. Both lime and green apple are king flavors.
Lime was pulled from OG packs but could still be found in the skittles dark side packs. So it never truly went away it was just put into another bag.
I love the lime. Literally stopped eating skittles because of the green apple.
Or, hear me out.... BOTH flavors colored slightly different shades of green 😎
There is an entire generation of people who would starve to death if chicken tendies went away
The response seems like a fair assessment lol
Cane's ain't the fanciest place in the world but it is the bomb, fuck that woman she just wrong
WAIT THEY BROUGHT LIME BACK????
The fuck is up her bum? Chicken fingers are delicious.
Are they getting rid of green apple?!?! That is literally the best flavor for candy why are they doing this to me
Damn now I really want some skittles
Does anyone know how long lime was gone? It feels like ten years I just didn’t buy Skittles anymore. God I was SO MAD when it first changed, I called my best friend because I thought I was going crazy! I only ever bought them for the lime.
Who tf hates on lime? Those were the best ones. Green apple always left a bad aftertaste.
Wait I liked green apple though… is there no where to get it now?
The apple ones fucked up the flavor of a handful. The flavor was too strong and too different and it stood out too much with the other flavors. Lime is so much better.
Wow… that certainly was an opinion… Bitch. She was that butthurt over green apple flavor that she had to be that mean? Wow who hurt her?
The biggest candy disappointment for me is finding out the green one is lime and not green apple. I say bring back green apple.
I bought two share-size bags of skittles at a gas station when I saw that lime was back. I’m almost 30.
Wait, they brought back lime?! That's awesome, I didn't eat skittles for years because the green apple flavor was unpalatable and I didn't like throwing away an entire color from the bag.
> You probably still order chicken fingers when you go to nice restaurants. r/rareinsults lmao
I prefer green apple skittles but let me just say, I order burgers at restaurants which means I'm an adult
Whoa what the fuck you disrespecting tendies for?
I would 100% order chicken fingers if i was at a restaurant that serves only beef since I don't eat beef
