In April, we learned that Skittles was trading in its zombie-flavored Skittles, the flesh-flavored treat that made its debut back in 2019 and returned for the 2020 Halloween season for a new extreme flavor called Skittles Shriekers. This month, the extreme sour candy hits store shelves, and today Mars Wrigley released further details on the limited-edition treat.
“Skittles is always looking for new ways to surprise fans with unexpected flavor experiences,” said Tanya Berman, Mars Wrigley Seasonal Marketing Lead. “This year we focused on putting a new spin on a spooky treat, bringing better moments and more smiles to people as they gear up for the upcoming Halloween season.”
Skittles Shriekers include five frightening flavors in each pack: Citrus Scream, Ghoulish Green Apple, Rattled Raspberry, Shocking Lime, and Spine-Tingling Tangerine. But beware, hidden inside each pack of Shriekers are super-sour Skittles that look like the rest but bring an unpredictable punch of sour flavor to make even the most fearless candy fan quite literally shriek.
Skittles Shriekers are available now in retailers nationwide and come in 1.8 oz single packs, 3.6 oz Share Size, and 10 oz Medium Funsize Laydown Bags.
