Skittles candy, which has the slogan, "Taste the rainbow," is the latest company to take heat from consumers because of new packaging that has the phrase, "Black Trans Lives Matter."
Some consumers are now calling to boycott the candy company for its "woke" approach to support the LGBTQ community.
Skittles is a product from the Wrigley Company, which is a division of Mars, Inc.
When visiting Skittles.com, the top of the page has a clickable option titled, "SKITTLES Pride," and when clicked, the animation says, "There’s a story in every rainbow."
"We’ve given up our rainbow so that the LGBTQ+ community can share theirs," the company says. "This Pride Month, we’re amplifying stories within the LGBTQ+ community for all to discover. We begin by showcasing the designs of five talented artists on our SKITTLES Pride Packs, each with their own story to tell."
Five newly designed candy wrappers are on display below, all celebrating pride.

The company swapped the rainbow-colored packaging for LGBTQ-friendly designs created in collaboration with the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

Brings a new meaning to ‘Taste the rainbow’
They seems to be focusing their marketing on 0.013% of the population — or something like that.
Not sure it will work out for them.
Mars Inc is dead to me. I almost never ate candy, but Skittles were my favorite.
I’m more of a Reece’s pieces person, myself.
Those are tasty.
But you can’t put them in your purple drank like Skittles, now can you?...
Direct Marketing to Children
Yeah no kidding.
This world 🌎🌍 is under the spirit of antichrist.
This is an active campaign, so Sodomite Pride Month now goes June, July and August.
During my decades working in the criminal justice field I have on many occasions heard pedophiles kidding each other about “Trolling Skittles Past a School Yard”. Seems even more appropriate now.
It’s every month now. Same for negroes and broads.

They should now come with a coupon for a free quart of purple drank
Somehow I think conservative folks don’t really buy skittles anyhow, it is hard to boycott what you don’t buy
I bought Skittles occasionally. No more. Same thing happened with M&M’s.
Romans 1:24-28
King James Version
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

It’s not a conservative cultural thing like some products, but I’m sure plenty of conservative parents buy them for their kids.
