About the original
Skittles Original is a 2.17-ounce bag of fruit-flavored chewy candy produced by Mars Wrigley, with each piece coated in a hard sugar shell stamped with a lowercase "S." The candy was first manufactured in Britain by a company called Skittles in 1974 and introduced to the United States in 1979, with domestic production beginning at a Mars facility in 1982. Each bag contains strawberry, orange, grape, lemon, and green apple pieces, the green apple having replaced the original lime flavor in 2013. The FW2021 Supreme version uses the standard retail bag with a Supreme box logo overprinted on the Skittles artwork; released November 11, 2021 as part of the accessories lineup.
About Skittles
Skittles is a British fruit-flavored candy introduced in 1971 by a UK distributor for Mars, Incorporated. The lentil-shaped sugar shell candies were first imported to the United States in 1974, the same year Mars secured the U.S. trademark, and domestic production began in 1982. The brand is now owned by Mars Wrigley, the confectionery division of Mars headquartered in Chicago, which absorbed Skittles after Mars acquired the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company in 2008. The Original mix carries strawberry, orange, lemon, green apple, and grape flavors, marketed under the slogan Taste the Rainbow. Supreme licensed the Skittles logo for co-branded apparel and accessories.
