I broke into a bag of Skittles for “incentives.” Thankfully I don’t have strong feelings on Skittles.
I did find an open bag of Reese’s peanut butter cups stuffed in the back of the cabinet tho.

I don’t either, but when I was quite younger I found that putting a whole handful into your mouth at one time is quite delicious. True story.
monster. i segregate my piece candy. like the skittles. i like most candy.
Yes, I’m flavorist when it comes to Skittles. I eat only one color at a time. First lime (as the most inferior Skittle flavor), then lemon then orange and finally cherry and grape. I will sometimes mix it up whether I finish with cherry or grape. Probably more often cherry before grape but that’s more because then I’m moving through the colors in color-wheel order than an actual preference of flavors.
Isn’t lime apple now?
Toss the lemon, toss the lime/apple. Usually toss the orange, too. Cherry and grape can be eaten together, or separately.

That sounds very time consuming, I inhale them all as quickly as possible, ain’t nobody got time to sort.
We should share our Skittles. I’ll happily give you all my cherry in exchange for your lime. Lime is by far the best flavor.
Oh, right. That’s why i haven’t bought Skittles in forever. I hate fake apple flavored candy.

You are my kind of people!
I am too much of a cheap actuary to throw away Skittles, but if I wasn’t then this would be my MO.

YESSSSSSS!!!
Ugh, that’s even worse than lime. I won’t throw away lime Skittles but I’ll throw away apple Skittles.

By the way, when my Dad & his siblings were kids the tradition was that Santa Claus left each of them a book* of Life Savers in their stocking. Apparently the Christmas morning trading that occurred was epic. The only sibling who liked Buttered Rum really made out, evidently.
*I think it contained 12 different 12-packs of Life Savers, all the packs were different. Like a pack of 5-flavor, a pack of Wint-O-green, a pack of Pep-O-Mint, etc.
Yeah, i don’t hate cherry, even though it was my last favorite. But i actively dislike the apple flavored ones.
I wonder why fake apple is SO different from “apple”? I am currently enjoying a fridge full of fresh seasonal apples.
We had the same growing up. A quick search and all I could find is a book of 6 rolls, all of them the 5 flavor kind. Sadness.

Yeah, when I was a kid my grandparents would get me a book of Life Savers each Christmas, trying to keep the tradition alive.
But it was only an 8-pack and I think was:
2 five-flavors
2 Wint-O-Green
1 Spear-O-Mint
1 Pep-O-Mint
1 Buttered Rum
1 Wild Cherry
There were always comments that this wasn’t as good as the “real” life savers books from the 1950s. I guess now the selection is even worse.
Like I said, that was the younger me. I’m not proud of my past, but I don’t run from it, either.
This is now also my modus operandi…even for M&Ms.
Skittles are a waste of calories and apple flavored candy as well as watermelon flavored candy needs to be obliterated from society
