Skittles Spray Candy

13 Nov 2009

As a huge fan of Skittles, I was thrilled to find Skittles Spray Candy. There is no information about these on the Skittles website since they are licensed by Candyrific. From what I saw at the store, there are sprays available from two Skittles varieties – Skittles Original Fruit and Skittles Sour. I bought three flavors – original strawberry, sour blue raspberry, and sour green apple.

The first one I bought was a sweet and sour pack, which contains two Skittles Spray Candy. Each bottle contains 20 ml. Of all the flavors available, I chose two flavors I really like – strawberry from the Skittles Original Fruit variety and blue raspberry from Skittles Sour. Both of these sprays look fun and delicious. They are both compact, so you can easily store them in your purse or pocket for a splash of Skittles goodness whenever or wherever you desire.

The blue raspberry flavor is my second favorite flavor from the original Skittles Sour pack, so I was excited to try the spray candy. However, after trying it, I was completely let down. Although the taste is bearable, I don’t think it tastes anything like the actual Blue Raspberry Skittle. There is a hint of a blue raspberry flavor, but if I had not known beforehand, I would never have guessed the actual flavor. To make things worse, it wasn’t even sour. Granted, I do eat a lot of sour candy, so what may not be sour to me, might be sour for others.

Even though the Blue Raspberry Sour Skittles Spray Candy wasn’t that great, I still had high hopes for the Strawberry Spray Candy. It took about two to three sprays to get the candy going, but when it did, I wasn’t too happy. Although it does taste like the strawberry flavor from the Skittles Original Fruit assortment, it just doesn’t taste good in liquid form. When I sprayed it, I was first hit with the sweet strawberry flavor. The sweetness was a little too much, giving the liquid a thicker feel, reminiscent of liquid medicine.

Now for my ultimate Sour Skittles flavor – Green Apple. The spray candy I bought was the Green Apple Sour Skittles Light Up Spray Candy. The light up spray does not come in a pack of two, but is slightly bigger as it contains 30 ml. Also, it has this neat light up feature that I didn’t notice until after I bought the candy. Towards the bottom of the bottle, you can push a button to light up the inside of the bottle to match the flavor. In this case, the bottle lit up as green. One thing I noticed about this bottle in particular is that it sprays in a wide mist. I don’t like having to worry about it getting all over my face, so rather than a mist, I would have preferred more of a direct squirt. Regardless, the flavor was amazingly delicious. It is wonderfully sour and tastes just like the actual Sour Apple Skittles.

For $3 for all three of the Skittles Spray Candy, only the sour green apple flavor brought a smile to my face. In the end, I think the spray is a good idea, but the reason why I am a fan of Skittles is because of the chewiness and texture of the traditional Skittles.
