Although Halloween is still a few weeks away, it's perhaps never too early to pick up Skittles' spookiest zombie-inspired pack.
Not for the faint of heart, Zombie Skittles are aptly named because they include five fruit flavors and a hidden, unusual flavor called "rotten zombie," which the brand has called "utterly disgusting."
The 'rotten zombie' pieces are designed to look just like the fruity ones, so you won't know which flavor you've got until you bite into it
Originally released in 2019, each pack of Zombie Skittles includes a mix of five fruit flavors: Petrifying Citrus Punch, Mummified Melon, Boogeyman Blackberry, Chilling Black Cherry, and Blood Red Berry.
The twist is that select pieces of the"rotten zombie" flavored candy are mixed into each bag. Since the zombie pieces have the same appearance as the fruity ones, you won't know which candies have the "repulsive" flavor until you bite into them.
In a press release, the brand described eating the hidden "rotten zombie" flavor as being "an utterly disgusting taste experience that will elicit strong reactions from anyone and everyone daring enough to try it."
Since the unusual flavor will likely be a surprise to anyone eating a bag of these Skittles, the brand suggests using this candy to play a "fun prank."
The flavor is expected to be on sale nationwide in stores around the US and it has previously been available in three different varieties — share size ($1.89), lay-down bag ($2.49), and fun-size bag ($2.99)
For October, Mars Wrigley is planning a virtual Halloween experience, which includes opportunities to snag free candy
Starting October 1, Mars Wrigley will also be hosting a Halloween portal that will feature virtual trick-or-treating, Delish reported.
This experience can be found at www.Treat-Town.com and individuals can sign up for more information. Per the website, the experience will include opportunities to score some free candy.
