Lime was among the original five flavors introduced in 1979 but was phased out in 2013 when it was replaced with green apple, which “broke the hearts of lime fans everywhere.” According to online rumors, lime was phased out after market research revealed that sour apple tested higher than the lime flavor. Nothing's worse than being prepared for a heavenly handful of Original Skittles only to endure the disgust of green apple. You could have given us some sort of warning instead, each of us, sometime near the end of 2013, had the biggest let down of our lives. You kept the green the same color, and you continue to market the product as "Original" even though it's certainly not. Have a little more faith in us than that. The other issue we have with Green Apple is that you tried to slyly change the flavor. We're not upset with you we just want our darling lime back. We know why you changed it, and we understand. It's time to do away with this Green Apple bullsh*t and bring back the lime skittle. An online petition started in 2016 on the platform asked the "people of Skittles" to "bring back the lime Skittles" and had garnered 6,790 signatures at the time of this writing. "What better way to bring better moments to our loyal fans, than with the return of the most asked about flavor? The joy of lime can't be denied anymore. Green apple has had a good run, but the fans have spoken and it's time for lime to return to the rainbow," said Fernando Rodrigues, Mars Wrigley senior brand manager. “It's no secret that lime has been a hot topic for Skittles fans since we replaced them with green apple back in 2013. Lime will rejoin its four other fruity comrades - strawberry, orange, lemon, and grape - on select shelves in October, with a national rollout over the following months. Today, the Skittles brand announced that its infamous Lime flavor candies are returning to the rainbow permanently in Skittles Original packs,” wrote the company.
“It's the moment Skittles fans have been waiting eight years for.
