Nuh-uh! Skittles is a British sweet! Mars just happens to be an American corporation with an autonomous European branch.

Now it's always going to be associated with the Treyvon killing.
Or to look at it from another angle, it'll be a symbolic food for the fight against the hatred and injustice that still pervades our society.
either way, eating skittles is just not going to be the same. At least in America.
