Taste the Rainbow?

This is not first-hand information, but John is much too busy to spend time writing a blog about nothing important.

I, on the other hand, gain some great pleasure in rambling on about whatever comes to mind.

WARNING: Ice Cream Skittles may sound like a genius invention, but John would like everyone to know: it is not.

If you’re craving ice cream, you probably want something cold, creamy, maybe even in a cone.

You don’t really crave something room-temperature, round, and chewy. (If this is indeed what you are craving, get some Skittles…just not the Ice Cream variety.)

At a meeting this week, John decided to try the Ice Cream Skittles because he figured he would never really pay actual money to try them. Later, he was quite relieved he achieved this candy trial for free.

His words to describe the Ice Cream Skittle: “disgusting”, “nasty”, and “gross” all in the same sentence. Clearly one of those adjectives on its own would not have sufficed.

Now, truthfully, the first flavors of ice cream I thought of when John told me there was such a thing as Ice Cream Skittles were mint chocolate chip, chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie batter. Those flavors in Skittles were not appealing. Perhaps I am not quite the ice cream purist. It turns out the Skittles flavors are a bit more ordinary: vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, orange vanilla swirl, and caramel ripple.

Maybe more ordinary, but “nasty” nonetheless, in John’s point of view. When I pressed him further about the taste of the candy, I believe he mentioned something about cardboard and old Tootsie Rolls.

In closing, John would like to advise you to save your money. If you want Skittles, stick with the normal fruit-flavored varieties. If you want ice cream, get ice cream.
