Its such a bold, bold move for such a large company that has created a large dialogue supporting the pride community. However, they can not really claim it is a celebration of diversity when they ironically made them all white... Like if we are on about representations it just kind of falls apart like its just a bit questionable. Also, people are allergic to some flavours of skittle, and by removing the colours it makes it impossible to know whether you can eat a certain skittle. You might think this is a non issue but it stops people from celebrating the movement.<br /><br />Yours truly, skittles_muncher42069Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121839347151866724.post-61276198425188855692017-05-11T14:39:21.736-07:002017-05-11T14:39:21.736-07:00I would just be concerned small children would not...I would just be concerned small children would not be able to distinguish white Skittles from pills.

That's their bread and butter, their day in day out. It wouldn't take much effort for them to keep their normal produce and their normal packaging and just plonk a sticker on saying 'we support Gay Pride', but what sort of impact would it have? Would anyone have noticed? It'd be very difficult to make a statement with one glance, to inspire curiosity or dialogue for this cause with their normal rainbow of colours in situ. <br /><br />Arguments can go either way for it, I've mentally sketched out multiple responses both positive and negative for the marketing choice. But that'd lead me to a SUPER LONG essay like response that no one wants. :D<br /><br />Ultimately dialogue is good as it leads to awareness and understanding.

I think it's too easy for people to get the wrong idea from it, but at least it's got people talking as you say.

It...I actually like the idea of all white Skittles. It makes a statement, at the very least, it's a talking point and it's obvious what's missing from the product. I suppose in focusing on the lack of rainbow you're also pointed at where the rainbow is - in the negative there's a search for a positive, type of thing. It's a bold move for a large company, really. Plus I'd quite appreciate the fun of having a bag of something and playing 'guess the flavour' when all are apparently the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
