Skittles
"I need sugar!" I announce to A at approximately 2.30 in the afternoon. Off to the work kitchen where I rummage amongst the various confectionary on hand. Chocolate chip cookies? No. Too much. Twizzlers? No. Too licoricey. M&Ms? Eh...no. Too chocolatey. Skittles? When's the last time I've had Skittles? So long that I can't remember so I grab a blue bag and return to my desk.
"Ooh, the blue bag." A admires me and my new sweet find. "The blue bag is my favorite. That's probably our last one. I tried ordering more of it and they said it's been discontinued." I look at the colorful little pebbles in my hand and pop some in my mouth. Blue bag, hey? I don't remember the blue bag being special, either.
"When I was a kid I liked the purple bag." I told her. "Maybe we should order some of those."
"Okay. But the blue bag is definitely my favorite. I wonder what else there is."
"Well, let's look online. This seems important and probably requires work time for research purposes." So I went to the Skittles website and read off the various bags and flavors. "Okay. There's smoothie flavors, that's a pink bag. And um...ice cream flavours--"
"Oh! That sounds good!"
"Ah, yes. Um, that's in a beige bag. Then there's sour in green, wildberry in purple, and tropical in blue--"
"Blue! So they haven't stopped!"
"There's hope for us yet."
"I can't believe we're discussing this so intensely." A says.
"Well, you've gotta have a passion. Ooh. I wonder if they have passionfruit."
Dear god. What have I become?

God! I can't believe that @$$hole! The nerve! To lie to poor A. about the blue bags being banned from America forever! He should be stoned to death with skittles the size of softballs!
Everything's cool now. They have blue bags again! Catastrophe avoided.

I was an M&Ms only girl growing up, but now that I've branched out (to snickers), I understand the need to study the seemingly infinite possibilities of a long running candy. Kathryn, you're what we call skittleliscous! Love live the skittles, long live the candy king!
Oh dear. I think I've been eating too much cookie dough.
Haha, Skittleliscous! I like it. You are a true M&M Babe. Or Cookie Dough Lass? Sweet stuff can be soooo good.
