Don’t blame the candy company.
The reason Martin bought Skittles and watermelon tea was to mix it with cough syrup and make purple drank or purple lean.
Before it was all scrubbed, Martin’s Facebook page was full of discussion about the recipe.
I also stopped buying North Face products one they became en vogue with the FUY’s (feral urban youth).
All the young thugs like Skittles because because they mix it with a drink and cough syrup to get high. Same principle as a skid row drunk pouring “canned heat” into a grape drink. An easy, cheap drunk. Anyone purple lean goes good with a $10 pack of Kools.
