Welcome To Taste of States a place where we celebrate the weird and wonderful food of the United States of America. This can be everything from the snacks that are available for a limited time to the foods that are classic traditions at events such as Christmas and Thanksgiving! Each week we will explore the facts and the history surrounding a different food.

SUMMER SKITTLES

With summer just around the corner, I thought it would be exciting to look at a flavour of Skittle that has a seasonal vibe to them. They are a brand that are known for constantly releasing new flavours and in 2018 they introduced a limited edition version that will really put you in the summer mood.

Summer Splash was a packet of Skittles that embraced the flavours of the season and they come in a bright pink packet. The packet of sweets have a variety of tropical summer flavours which include Strawberry, Blue Raspberry, Orange, Kiwi Banana and Watermelon.

The candy was so exclusive that they were only available from the Dollar General Store for 85 cents. Each 2oz bag contains 230 calories and 2.5 grams of fat. There are a lot of positive reviews of this flavour online and a lot of people enjoyed the fruity flavours.
