Near the end of March, Skittles decided to launch 'white' candy to inspire LGBTQ pride. They did this because "only one rainbow matters" as stated on the back of the skittles package. “Give the rainbow, taste the rainbow. All the lentils are white in celebration of Pride. Enjoy the mystery mix.” So they all still have their flavors, but you just don't know which one you are about to eat. Instead of getting good feedback, people hated and called Skittles racist for choosing white as the color for the candy meant to praise equality.
This was posted near the end of March, showing that this idea of the white Skittles is new. I honestly think it was a cute idea of supporting the LGBTQ community, but of course there had to be some hate. I think they just did white because when you take the color away, that is what they are. Prior to reading this article i saw this topic on twitter and wanted to see the skittles! This is a cute idea and i want to see how long it lasts!
