This brings beck memories before I was born.

[@Peachices]

So magicaly old school, makes me wish I was an 80s kid. Yeah, taste that rainbow! :)

[@cupidcry]

I showed my mom this and she was like, "oh yeah I remember this commercial!" XD

[@MDthornton83]

The 80s was a mystical decade.

[@CandleFlameFilms]

I like how it's a 50's throwback, yet unbelievably 80's. Inception...

[@Vrfan88]

their commercials got 100 times better...and that waitress looks like the mom in "Jingle all the way"

[@likemyrabidmonkey]

Skittles are delicious.

[@DJL396]

Man, compared to other CM, this one is really the odd one out.

[@hateWinVista]

@conchita4all 1974,actually Introduced in North America in 1979 You can check it out on wiki

[@blakfloyd]

>2012 >Thinking there are any standards regarding entertainment value on the internet It's a commercial that old farts in their 30s like me enjoy seeing because nostalgia is a nice thing when it feels like most of pop culture is going to shit.

[@MyTwinFlameisCurrency]

I only eat the red and purple ones.

[@GarrettBroadnax]

I didn't realize the one black person per advertisement rule started so early.

[@rumarspencer7302]

Well with many commercials, can't just have white people, diversity is good to have everywhere. Just like the other way around, can't just have my kind on a basketball team, got to a least have a white player.

[@MDthornton83]

@conchita4all Yep. And I bet Skittles existed even long before 1986.

[@chickensandw1tch]

lol i love when ads are humourus

[@twizzieboo123456]

like we would share skittles now i dont think so

[@tgreer72]

@Vrfan88 yeah, I think you're right...it looks like Rita Wilson - Tom Hanks' wife...

[@jawbraeka]

there were so many tokens in there.... count them...

[@zachhoran]

Wonder if Mars would get Trayvon Martin to appear in Skittles ads, given his recent fame as a contestant on the February 26, 2012 episode of Celebrity Bucket Kickers.

[@Y2JMAN1986]

The dude at the end looks like christian bale 😀

[@mindsaglowin]

@ryadams91 They were trying to top the 70's.

[@rfhaifley]

[@MONOPOLY35]

Back in the 70's Skittles would be advertised as an alternative to doing drugs. Call it, a new kind of "ecstasy"!

[@jollybeggar64]

i'm pretty sure the waitress in the white blouse and red bowtie is married to tom hanks now

[@bojanks15]
