Review of Skittles 'Wild Berry'

Skittles -- Wild Berry (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3/5
Summary: all are very sweet but...not all colours are very berry. For instance, the pink is so tough to pinpoint. Maybe my tastebuds aren't so great, but I can't tell the flavour. The blue is super flavourful and some of the others are quite good as well. I will probably not buy it again though...it's just not that great to sacrifice the poor nutrition (take a look at the ingredients and nutrition facts below). I do wanna try the Skittles Desserts though!

Where to buy: most grocery stores
