Fun History About Skittles
Skittles begain in the UK 1974. They became popular quickly for their vibrant colours and fruity flavours. In 1979, they made their way to the United States. This was also when they began using the slogan, “Taste the Rainbow,”. Initially manufactured by a company called Mars, the candy’s unique combination of bold colours and tangy-sweet flavours has made it a global favourite. Over the decades, Skittles has expanded into various flavour assortments and seasonal editions. At Cubic, we carry the basic range only.
Tip When Using at Conferences
Our clients constantly decide between Skittles and jelly Beans. In our opinion, our Jelly Beans taste a little sweeter, so keep this in mind when considering flavour profiles.
You may consider buying our promotional jelly beans for your events.
