Skittles are a sugar-coated catastrophe of artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. You're not eating fruit, you're consuming a lab-created concoction designed to hook you from the first bite. Real food doesn't come in a brightly colored, bite-sized package.
Why trash
Pure sugar with artificial dyes. Taste the rainbow of chemicals.
Try instead
Dried apricots, dates, or dried pineapple
