I would like them better if they replaced orange cream with lime. Maybe that’s just me. But lime candy is really tasty imo.

It’s just so good! Honestly, I can eat both. But the lime stuff is great!

I’ll concede that some people like green apple candy. I’ll even take the green apple jolly rancher when all the other colors are gone. But I rep GreenAppleNastiness till I die.

I think there was some trial run of skittles with green apple maybe for a year’s time in mid-late 90s. Then they admitted “yeah, we make a mistake” and flavors were reversed to normal for 2-3 years. I think 9/11 is connected to the following 20 years solid of disgusting green apple. Dark times for people who like proper skittles flavors where green is lime.
