Foodies can explore a new treat that takes the concept of sweet and salty to another level.
On Tuesday, Skittles announced on social media the creation of French’s Mustard Skittles.
Yes, you read that right. Read on to find out why they were created and how you can win some. (Whether you line them up on top of your hot dog is up you.)
Why were Mustard Skittles created?
Condiment brands French’s and Skittles have collaborated on this unexpected product.
The strangest thing is this creation was inspired by the public, Skittles claims.
“You’re seeing things right. Because you asked, French’s Mustard Skittles are now here,” Skittles wrote on their Facebook page.
Skittles ended the post with, “They taste great. Trust me.”
According to French’s Facebook page, Mustard Skittles are a limited-edition product, and they used the hashtag “#MustardDay,” which is celebrated on Saturday, Aug. 5.
Where can I get Mustard Skittles?
Limited packs of these Skittles are available through an online sweepstakes and pop-up events in Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and New York.
What did Facebook say about Mustard Skittles?
Reactions on Skittles’ Facbook page are mixed.
“Which one of you asked for mustard skittles? I just wanna talk,” a snooping detective wrote.
“Withholding their name for their own safety,” Skittles responded.
“Yummi,” an intrigued user wrote.
“It isn’t April 1st so what is this?” a confused person said.
“Normally, I’d be upset and concerned at this, but since you brought back Lime Skittles, I’m gonna let this one slide,” another person shared.
“We need pickle next!” a daring foodie wrote.
“Now we have to try these,” another brave soul said.
What if I prefer ketchup?
Heinz Tomato Ketchup celebrates summer with its “United States of Saucemerica” promotion.
There are 50 different “sauce” package designs. Condiments include Heinz Ketchup, Yellow Mustard, Real Mayonnaise, Ranch, BBQ Sauce, Tartar Sauce or Simply Ketchup. Packet art features a dish the company thinks is representative of the state and pairs with whatever is inside.
Delaware ketchup, for instance, features scrapple hash. For New Jersey, it’s a pork roll sandwich.
