very OT: Mustard Skittles: would you eat them?

Submitted by MGoBlue-querque on July 27th, 2023 at 9:28 PM

In honor of the upcoming "National Mustard Day" (August 5), Skittles and French's have teamed up to create a limited edition candy, Mustard flavored Skittles. I don't think I'll be finding any of these out here in the desert SW, but if you happen upon a bag, would you eat them? I'd give them a try if I could...

Not OT.

  • The bright yellow color of these Skittles is is similar to the maize in certain versions of M's uniforms.
  • Mustard Skittles comes pretty close to rhyming with Mike Sainristil, which is not an easy name to rhyme.
  • Past Michigan players and coaches have included Doug Dutch, Eugene Germany, and Ron English. So that too makes French's kind of relevant.
  • Fans of Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch used to throw Skittles onto the field in his honor. Marshawn Lynch played his college ball at Berkeley, and Berkeley is the Bay Area, where Jim Harbaugh coached both pro and college teams.

I would eat them on a pretzel or a hot dog and by themselves. Love mustard. However, I would not eat them on a pizza.

I've got a grandson who would be all over this. We actually buy him mustards of all different kinds for Christmas and birthday gifts. If this is real...have to see if we can find some.

I can't believe they would taste better than the mustard Doritos that were out. Those were fantastic to add to a cold meat sandwich.  The ketchup ones were trash though

Mustard is the best thing ever.  Zero calories and it really dresses up a pretzel, dog, brat or potato salad.  Living in Buffalo I put Weber's horseradish mustard on just about everything.  Has a great kick and is delish.  Always love a good Dijon, Bavarian, Honey, Creole or Beer mustard.  English, Brown and other whole grains are good too.   I forget the name, but I had a bottle of Ghost pepper mustard that was amazing.

French's is o.k. in a pinch.   French's skittles sound sort of gross, but you only live once.
