How do you eat your Skittles?

I thought Smarties were little hard candies that dissolved in your mouth and didn't involve chocolate...maybe they changed? I know what you mean though--some candies require that you have more than 1 at a time!

Lilybug, you have such restraint! I could never eat just a few at a time (except when the bag is nearly gone!) For me, it's all or nothing!

I normally pour a few out on the desk while I am myLotting and pop them in a few at a time. Sometimes the baby will come over and steal a few. She eats hers one at a time. My son will pour a whole handful in his mouth.

Why do you have to get rid of the green Skittles first? I actually don't mind which color/flavor I eat first, but I tend to eat them in bunches, mixing all the flavors because I dislike just the orange and just the yellow! Which m&m's do you like--regular or peanut? I prefer the peanut--for some reason, I can't stand the plain any more...

Because the green ones are the ones I dislike the most. Then the yellow ones. The rest are fair game. I can't stand how the green ones taste, but won't throw them away. So I save the best for last! As for brown M&Ms - I just don't like brown M&Ms - I'd eat both shades of brown before, but now that they only have one, I only get the one first. I'd like to see them get rid of that color completely! It has nothing to do with taste - just color. Yes - it's odd. But, that's how I do it. I think I prefer the Peanut M&Ms, too. Especially since I was diagnosed with diabetes. Shouldn't eat them at all, but when I do, I eat them with peanuts because at least they have some protein with them. If I'm going to eat plain chocolate, I want it frozen, so I'll eat them in a McFlurry or one of Wendy's new shakes. Frozen chocolate is OK. Frozen peanut butter cups are excellent - especially the mini ones!! (My whole family eats them that way on my dad's side - I got it honest.)

I have never had an opportunity to have chocolate Skittles--I'll have to search some out today! I also can't eat the sour ones all at once--my face would be permanently pucked! Thanks for sharing!

Yes, I know what you mean. The flavors are just too good to stop. I get disappointed sometimes when I finish the bag, because you always want more than what you actually have on hand. And the headline would more than likely turn all kinds of heads, just thinking how did this woman do this to herself. But everyone enjoys skittles whats not to enjoy. You can't be allergic to them like some are allergic to chocolate. You can never go wrong with skittles.

I think kids today have really odd tastes--most of these new 'flavors' are based on research involving kids. You have amazing self restraint, to eat one or two at a time! Thanks for sharing (and I'll have to try the red/green combo with my next bag!)

trish, you said that the berries flavor is your favorite, but how you're making me wonder--just what IS your least favorite? I eat them like you--pour them in my hand and shove them all in my mouth at once! The good flavors overpour the lessor favorites, but do my teeth ever get coated in sugar! THAT'S not so fun! Thanks for sharing!

here in my country we only have the Original Fruit - my least favorite there are Lemon and Lime. Then the Wild Berry - least is the Melon Berry. I forgot the other pack that is available here. I do hate when it sticks in my teeth but I still love Skittles. soooo goood... :)

I haven't eaten them since my first root canal in 2006...the cost was so high (without insurance); the second one was last year and I had to take out a personal loan...no wonder dentists are so wealthy! Don't get me wrong--I LOVE Skittles...but I can do without the dental bills!

I haven't had the chewy sprees in a while...they don't leave my teeth coated quite the same way the skittles do. They remind me of sour skittles. I think the larger size makes it easier to not eat as many too!

They ARE good, aren't they? I love how the outside is a little bit hard, but once they dissove...MMMMMMM! I really should get some when I'm out a bit later...just a small bag though, I promise!

What are the colors you like least? I really don't care for the orange or yellow ones. Mixed up, they're not so bad though!

Then here's a basketful of them, aptly titled 'Skittles and Grins'. I'm sure this will get you smiling (although the prospect of cleaning my teeth after eating a couple of bags IS rather daunting!)--enjoy!
