New Skittles Flavor is… Mustard?
Attention Skittles enthusiasts, brace yourselves for an unusual twist – the newest addition to the Skittles lineup is not lemon-flavored as you might expect. In celebration of National Mustard Day on August 5, Skittles and French’s have surprisingly collaborated to create a brand-new mustard-flavored Skittle (a candy that nobody asked for).
Before you assume it’s a prank, rest assured it’s not. French’s recently announced in a press release that these mustard Skittles offer a unique blend of sweet and savory, promising to tingle your taste buds. Described as a “confectionary classic at the intersection of condiment and candy,” this yellow treat is available for a limited time only.
In the words of French’s, “Skittles is a candy that needs no introduction, but deserves a lot of love.” The unexpected combination of candy and tangy mustard thrilled them, and they’re eager to share it with the world.
While French’s is a well-known brand in Canada, and their beloved yellow mustard is made from 100% Canadian mustard seeds, unfortunately, these mustard Skittles won’t be lining the shelves of your local candy aisle.
Instead, they will be distributing snack-sized bags of mustard Skittles at exclusive in-person pop-up events in Atlanta, Ga., on July 31, Washington, D.C. on Aug. 2, and New York City on Aug. 5. Alongside these events, limited edition merchandise will be available, though they promise it won’t feature any mustard. The “Mustard Mobile,” a branded, yellow vintage bus, will also make an appearance.
For adventurous Canadians who want to try this peculiar candy, there’s a chance to score a bag through an online sweepstake on the French’s website.
For those experiencing déjà vu, French’s has previously experimented with unconventional flavors on Mustard Day, including mustard-flavored hot dog buns, mustard-flavored beer, mustard-flavored doughnuts, and even mustard-flavored ice cream.
Trying the mustard Skittles will undoubtedly require a bold palate. Are you daring enough to give it a go?
