"I don’t understand how an advertising or market department can think it’s good spending to target 2 percent of the population."

It's more like 35% of the population - all the homosexuals and Democrats. They probably figure the extra sales to those groups will offset any losses to conservatives.

First Skittles was ruined by Trayvon Martin, and now it’s maker goes full Sodomite. Sick.

Hey, Mars, your candy smells like poo.

“...the LBGBTQ+ flag is the only rainbow that matters...”

Tell that to Isaac Newton.

If this was not an insult to the intelligence of gays, then what is... taking their money and laughing to the bank on the persecution of gays, so to speak...

NOt that gay tyrants raping and persecuting jews under the Ptolemys or Christians under the Romans ever existed...

I will no longer eat any Mars candy.

[stockpirate]

M & Ms are made by themb eating them supports the company

[Bratch]

[petitfour]

Not another Skittle.

It’s cultural appropriation for that community to hi-jack the rainbow, sign of God’s covenant with Noah and family.

As a side note, the “hand maid tale” costume also offends me. What have the Amish or Quakers ever done to those people?

Damn it, my beloved Milky Ways—gone.

Teenagers eat the cheap, chewy candies (Skittles, starburst, etc.) by the bucket load, so this is probably intended to make the brand appear hip and appeal to that group.

[rktman]

Dang. Guess I’ll be taking skittles off the grocery list for june. Oh and red drank too. Or was is purnurple.

[rktman]

“...only rainbow that matters...” Somebody better tell the rain.

[Pollster1]

Skittles have never been one of my top candy choices. Starting today, I will never again buy Skittles. All of my purchasing decisions are now at least guided by politics - get woke, go broke.

[Eleutheria5]

Nobody’s going to buy gray Skittles. Have they tied up their marketing department in the basement? Are they just insane?

[Fungi]

Forgive them father, for they know not what they do.

[F450-V10]

I remember the minty smell driving by.

[Old Yeller]

Mars is only as good as Uranus now.

[Old Yeller]

Mars is gravitating toward Uranus. Look out!
