Mint Skittles?!?!

Good evening. Most of us are familiar with the little chewy candies called Skittles. What most of us are not familiar with are this new variety of Mint Skittles. "Mint Skittles?" you may ask. "How is this possible?" Before I can answer, you will probably ask, "Are they any good?" This, my good organisms, is what I will address in this entry. No, Mint Skittles are not a joke - they do exist.

A Backgrounder on Mint Skittles

Ingedients: sugar, corn syrup, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, less than 2% - dextrin, maltodextrin, natural and artifical flavors, coloring (includes blue 2 lake, blue 1 lake, blue 1, blue 2, red 40, yellow 5) food starch-modified.

The researcher has reason to believe that Mars Inc. managed somehow to make toothpaste chewy and form a Skittle from it. Chewy toothpaste is easy enough to create, with proper lab equipment and simple, industrial grade HazMat containment cells - leave it out long enough and it will become chewy. The reseacher assumes the right kind of toothpaste would get fairly close, and all Mars Inc. would need is the right kind of specially modified toothpaste. Then they need to construct a shell - such a procedure is easy enough: use a slightly more dry version of the toothpaste and polish it with mint extract flavored window cleaner. Thus, Mint Skittles are spawned. And if the good reader-organism has ever tasted them, the good reader-organism would know what the reseacher means.

Some may dispute this theorm. The researcher wishes to offer, as proof: the taste. However, some organisms like the taste. [Researcher's comment] I bet they eat toothpaste for fun. [End researcher's comment] [Publisher's comment]The Researcher apparently does not hold those who consume and enjoy Mint Skittles in high regard. [End publisher's comment] Please excuse his ill manners. As well, as far as the researcher can tell, members of the female gender tend to enjoy Mint Skittles far more than members of the male gender. The researcher is not sure why that is is, but at first believed it was a trait carried on the Y chromosome that made males unable to appreciate the Mint Skittles. However, upon the finding of a human male who enjoyed Mint Skittles found that theory to be inaccurate; he may not have been entirely wrong, perhaps. Perhaps the gene is simply sex influenced, so females have a higher chance of liking Mint Skittles. Perhaps the Mint Skittles alelle¹ is the same that allows females to stand chick flicks. The reseacher suggests further testing.
