Skittles Wholesale Offers

Skittles is a type of chewy, fruit-flavored candy produced by the Wrigley Company, a subsidiary of Mars Incorporated. The original flavor assortment consisted of lemon, lime, orange, grape and strawberry. Skittles are one of the most popular candies in the United States and have become an iconic brand worldwide. The bright packaging and fruity flavors have made Skittles a favorite among children and adults alike. In addition to traditional Skittles, Wrigley has released several different varieties over the years including Wild Berry Skittles and Sour Skittles. They also offer limited edition seasonal flavors such as Candy Corn for Halloween or Sweet Heat for Valentine's Day.

The production process begins with sugar syrup being heated until it reaches 270 degrees Fahrenheit (132 degrees Celsius). At this temperature it can be poured into molds to create individual pieces of candy that are then cooled off before they are tumbled through a coating machine with colored sugar crystals. After this process, each piece is polished with vegetable oil to give them their signature glossy look before being packaged up for sale.

Skittles have been around since 1974 when they were developed in England by Edward Smith & Sons Ltd., but it wasn't until 1979 that Mars acquired the rights to market them in America. Since then they have become one of the top selling candies in North America and Europe with annual sales exceeding $2 billion USD annually!
