Skittles will never taste the same ):

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.

Still taste like rainbows to me.

Huh. Racism and prejudice taste like rainbows. I guess racism and prejudice are A-okay in my book.

Please.

Uh... link to whatever killing this is about?

And Skittles are delicious.

They're good, no doubt. They're excellent stuff.

Wait, in Europe, they're distributed under Mars, Inc. What about over on the other side of the ocean?

Well considering that skittles, an American candy, is sold by mars inc., an American company, over in Europe, we can safely conclude they are sold by Pepsi co. over here.

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

Based in Slough. Out of all the places... Slough...?!

Well, on the packaging it says "Distributed by Mars UK". Therefore, it would be a safe conclusion that there might be a different distrubutor elsewhere.

So, a teenager gets murdered, prompting police to do absolutely fuck all about it at the time and tropers to bicker about the origin of a brand of candy?

Well, the "original" point was that skittles for some reason would not be good anymore. I tend to not associate products with incidents like that.

Anyway -ahem- this is insane. How could this happen?

(On another point, why are Skittles related?)

In his pocket. So they have fuck all to do with anything about his death.

Sorry for not finding such a blatant mockery of death worth taking seriously.

Please.

I'm going to close this thread. This one got off to a very bad start.

If you want to start a serious thread about the issue, go right ahead, or better yet, use the one in OTC.
