Each week we will explore the facts and the history surrounding a different food.

SKITTLE TRICK PLAYS

Today we are looking at a candy flavour that was released to play with the purchasers mind and play games with them.

In August of 2017, it was announced that Skittles teamed up with the NFL to create a brand new product – Skittle Trick Plays. The idea of the Trick Plays was to work on a new ‘strategy’ like you would have on a football field.

There was many different flavours in the packet including Raspberry Rush, Comeback Cherry, Strawberry Sneak, For The Win Watermelon and Audible Apple. The only thing is the colours do not match the expected shell cover.

They were available throughout the NFL season and could be purchased for a single packs for $0.99 and a bigger bag for $3.19 they also had a lot of positive reviews.
