Just this week, I saw bags of Skittles on a clearance shelf at the grocery. I noticed that the bags were ugly white and gray, and said something about pride. I was happy, and rather relieved, that sales had been so poor that they were now on clearance.

I hope whoever was behind this asinine promotion gets fired. When will companies learn?

Who are the geniuses who thought this one up? Didn't they see what happened to Bud Light?
I don't like skittles at all but I'll boycott them anyway.

Quite frankly, it just seems like empty posturing.

As I noted earlier, the media won't even touch the attacker demographics of black trans people.

Here is one, notice no mention of attackers? If they are mentioned it's always as a singularity...no demographics other than to note that 80% of trans attacked are trans of color (tweeted ironically by BLM no less).

Frauds!

If they really wanted to put their money where their mouth is, they would make the actual skittles black.

It's all about ESG score and D&I index

It's the other way around, LBGXYZ now own corporate stock to push their twisted agenda.

Another product I can’t boycott because I don’t buy this product. I gave up drinking alcohol in 1996 so I can’t join the Bud Light boycott. I graduated high school in 1987 and club and sports fundraisers included candy sales. I’m sick to death of Starburst and Skittles.

I'm pretty sure Skittles knows their customers and this won't hurt them a bit.

They won't touch it BUT if a Black Trans guy was beat up by a White MAGA hat wearing dude it would be front page news for weeks and (No Comment) Biden would hold a press conference and have plenty of comments to make about the Racially charged Trans Genocide that is afflicting this country....


Skittles.? Little balls of sticky sugar, coated with dyes and chemicals. BIG YUM!
Skittles might just be the poster candy for the Trans movement. They look bright and fun as advertised at first glance but they are so bad for you. They know it but they just keep pushing and pushing it/them.

Yeah, their customer group is too young and naive to see it as an empty gesture where they help propagate the problem by not really addressing it.
