I've never been a big skittles fan.

Purple and reds are good...

Can I have your red skittles, Clive?

Take 'em.

You *do* realize that they all taste the same except the yellow ones... don't you?

And by and large, they're almost all made in Texas...

Post 65 - is so wrong in almost every conceivable way, i shall not bother to disagree with in a thorough fashion with a point by point rebutttal - no. Instead I shall just contain my dissmssal to a general and vague..

HA!!

That's where most of the M&M/Mars sugar products are manfactured...

Just like most of their chocolate is produced in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania - including Milky Ways and 3 Musketeers.

Mhmm...

And then fine, Clive, you can have all my yellow ones if you like them.

*snitches Clive's purple ones too, while also disagreeing with post 65*

Suits me.

so - what were we talking about again?

*hasn't a clue*

But don't forget that our smarties are not just sugary discs, but are sweet/tart sugary discs in fruity flavors.


Skittles... yum..

Well, yeah... that too. Like formed pixi stix.

Or not-quite-so-tart Sweetarts.

::mentally wanders off::

I met a not-quite-so-sweet tart once..........

*pushes the conversation back on topic*

We've had some truly odd candies in the stores - some that look like legos, and some that are shaped like stampers, and can be used to stamp pictures on things.

I think that would be more of a push back to the original off-topic topic, Lady Scott. I'd have to go back to the start to see what the real topic was, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't about candy.
