Skittles: Which colour is the best?

[Spud1]

As i'm sat here chomping my way through my nth bag of skittles this month (damn you costco and your giant packs of sweets!) I realised that I have a clear favourite out of the colours. I'll eat them all, but I always seem to have more of one particular colour left at the end - that colour being the green ones, which just don't taste that great to me (especially after many bags of them).

So, an easy lighthearted poll...which colour tops the pile? For me its a tough one between orange and lemon..but I think i'll plump for the orange as they are not quite so bitter, and you tend to get more in a pack..

So whats the best colour? Vote away and let us know.

edit: I'm talking current, standard red packs of Skittles here - Sour or other "types" of skittles should be excluded for now

Red for me

[BlackDwarf]

Red. Easily the best.

The Oranges are the ones I always give away/throw at people. Bleurgh

[Byatt]

Purple, judged on the quality of skittle vodka achievable by each colour.

[tom18230]

PURPLE ftw.

[kasavien]

red for me, does anyone else eat them by colour from least favourite to favourite? or am i just wierd

[Rosaline]

Don't worry, Kasavien
I've always been similar, getting the less good ones out of the way, leaving the treats to the end

As for my favourite skittles colour, I can't remember

Red + Purple...mix them

Although Millions are like crack compared to skittles.



I ate one of those in a week. My teeth hated me.

Purple are my favorite, followed by yellow then green. Millions are awesome, got terrible jaw ache, after eating £3 worth in one sitting. Then a few weeks later did the same again with 2 big bags of skittles

[TAKTAK]

it has to be orange, orange is just warm and huggable.....

[Guy]

Clearly Red is far superior!

Closely followed by purple.

[OV3RCLOCK3R]

Red!

[pauldarkside]

The first and third pins for me - not keen on splits though





Sorry, can't really pick a single colour as I'd rather take one of each and mix them creating a tantalising taste bud saliva fest

... got terrible jaw ache, after eating £3 worth in one sitting. Then a few weeks later did the same again with 2 big bags of skittles

That's what stopped me eating skittles, I always end up eating the lot real quick and getting a jaw ache / feeling sick

Purple were the best though!

Me:

God:
I don't have a favorite skittle. But my favorite song is Anything involving harps.
Me:

God:
Are you serious? My favorite color is White.
