10:33 Personally I love the chewies skittles, I find that without a shell there's basically no sugary grittiness in the mouth. And the pastel colours seem a bit more natural than the brightly coloured originals. There was also a limited blue skittle in regular bags that was cherry-cola flavoured. Also a bag of confused skittles, where the colours and flavours didn't match. Think there's others, but I don't remember them.

[@kc7978]

Theres also a UK bag of dark mix

[@2025SPACEDUDE]

Agreed Skittle Chewies are one of the best types of skittle

[@chesterlester5770]

There was an all-white bag at one point if I remember

[@elfonVR]

AGREED

[@nathan51782]

For what it's worth, blue raspberry as a flavour exists because companies decided keeping the raspberry flavour red would be too confusing (as it is associated with strawberry and cherry, already). So, to create a solution to this, they dyed the raspberry flavour blue to set it apart. :) Just a little bit of trivia!

[@kingding-a-ling9794]

Don't worry I am probably the ONE other person that wanted to know that trivia😂. So rest easy knowing you didn't remember that for nothing 😅😂😂

For me, Food Wars is always Harry and Joe! Don't get me wrong, the others all great too but despite the video's are filmed separately and put together, Harry and Joe still have more chemistry.

[@Star_Joker]

I'm so glad to see more Food Wars with the UK (I love Japan and India, but I'm a bit biased). Can you guys do Mars Bars (edit: or whatever its called in the US), since you did a Snickers episode?

I’m also biased

[@kierancampire]

Your Skittles counting segment, my great nan once (my memory is awful so forgive murky details) bought a back of either Fruit Pastels, or red and black fruit pastels and counted them all individually, but then was so bothered by the inconsistent number that she wrote to the company complaining about how the colours were so uneven in number. They actually responded and apologised to her, and i believe they sent my nan a free bag of fruit pastels as compensation, so hey, counting your sweets can be good!

[@sueKay]

As someone with a truly bizzare lime allergy (not citrus, just lime), I'm always extremely happy to discover that a green sweet is apple and not lime. So at least I know not to eat skittles in the US since they went back to their green ones being lime. I cant blame them, lime tastes amazing...I'm just sadly very allergic to it. I'm very jealous, I LOVE the taste of lime. The few times I've accidentally ingested it I've been like "oh hey that's nice" and then become very unwell!

[@getreal2592]

I am 1000% certain Skittles are made with zero fruit. You could eat American Skittles just fine.

[@smellygoat]

I remember when skittles in the UK did mints years ago, one pack was peppermint and the other spearmint. They were okay but they were just like smaller versions of the soft chewy mints you could already get. Idk why they had different colours because the entire packs would just taste of the same kind of mint because it was.

[@chocciechocchoc1]

Loved skittles mints

[@tyfi31]

As someone who eats Skittles way too much, I really this appreciate this episode! Also my condolences to Joe for having to drink that skittle water.. big yikes

Something interesting is the fact that some of the things in the UK that are 'exclusive' like the giant skittles is actually available in the US. I've noticed this multiple times with other food brands too, maybe it's based on location in the US?

[@2016doomslayer]

In the UK we have darkside skittles instead of brightside but there the same flavors so probably just location based

[@DarkCobra88]

Similar with Skittles Gum, you can weirdly still find this on shop shelves in the UK despite it never sells well and its rare to see a almost empty shelf of the stuff but it is sold here.

[@OriginalElysian]

Gotta love the irony of Joe asking Harry to count all the Skittles in his bag and then not even bothering to actually do it himself.

I remember working in retail once and a customer came through the till saying that she was making a rainbow skittle cake for her daughter. Luckily I was paying attention as I noticed she's picked up the pride skittles instead, her face when I mentioned it was so funny. We swapped them out but she kept one white pack as her daughter was LGBTQ+ and she used them to Line the cake board and decorate cupcakes, which looked great when she showed me a fortnight later!

We actually do have the wild berry and tropical mix here in UK but it's super rare. Probably rarer than meta moon prime.

[@Ameni2d]

The white skittles are my favourite skittles, but I do also love skittles chewies because they’re just easier to chew and last in the mouth for longer meaning that one pack can last more than two hours lol

[@QaysRobloxPro]

It was fun seeing them doing try guessing flavors without their sense of smell. I have sinuses so I should be used to it but i still don’t think I’ll be able to identify the flavor 😂

[@Kumotoshi]

for some reason, all of the skittles put into separate bowls in their own colours with no stray skittles in any of the bowls gave me such a satisfying feeling, just looking at it calmed me down

[@fritzzon]

It's because you get a rush of endorphins when you see something that's been placed perfectly, tricking your brain into thinking u did something right

The important difference in the sours is that the UK one doesn't come dusted in the sour powder, unfortunately.

[@milkymoo1524]

Since cherries strawberries and rasberries arent berries i came up with my own flavors for wild berries Orange-pumpkin Green-cumcumber Yellow-banana Pink-watermelon Purple-grape Don't worry im sure these flavors won't get anyone questioning what they've been taught!

They would also taste delicious especially cucumber very popular c🥒

Am I the only one who liked the green apple flavor over the lime flavor? Seems like I'm the only one who does

[@SoSheolH]

honestly i don't even remember if i had the green apple flavour before, but i can say that lime skittles are by far my least favourite - same goes for starburst lemon and lime (and same goes for both that blackcurrant is the best)

[@jarzz3601]

I knew grape flavour was a lot more common than blackcurrent in the us but didn't know why thanks for teaching me that interesting tidbit

[@TheOfficalMiki]

The editors deserve a raise for this c:

[@Sideshowspike]

He was right to say Cherries aren't berries, since they're stone fruits. Neither apples or blackberries are berries, botanically speaking. Apples are Pome's and Blackberries are aggregate fruits. Blueberries Are berries! Raspberries are aggregate fruits. Strawberries are aggregate fruits, also, though Kiwi's Are Berries. Fun facts! :) As for American skittles we already covered most of that, though Melonberry is an interesting case. If it is the Melonberry I've heard of, that's an aggregate fruit as well. Though Melons themselves are berries.

[@icyqueen2006]

I'm from the UK but the USA sour skittles are so much better (must be those extra chemicals!). The UK ones are barely sour at all. I love the chewies without shells the most though.

Also wasn't that long ago you could get the yellow ones over here in the UK they were fruit and yoghurt flavours.

One of the most popular flavors of skittles in England is eel. The second most popular is cheese sandwich. The third most popular flavor is canal lockie.
