Looks like Skittles has a new flavour out just in time for the hot summer and they have called it slushie.
I am assuming this is similar concept to Skittles Smoothies and Skittles are trying to tempt us with the idea that these taste like a partially frozen drink. What could be a better way to cool down after mowing the lawn on a hot summers day than a handful of coloured sugary beads that taste like frozen fruit beverages?
The back of the packet advertises the ‘fun in the mouth’ slushie flavours are, and I have listed them here in order of my preference:
1 – 🟤 Ke Cola – I don’t know what Ke Cola is but it tastes like a frozen coke and I like it very much.
2 – 🟢 Lemon Lime – I have no criticism of this flavour, totally normal and logical flavour choice.
3 – 🔴 Summer Strawberry – I hate winter strawberry, summer strawberries are the only type of strawberry that I eat.
4 – 🔵 Blue Raspberry – there is a rare genetic mutation that causes about one in every 2 million lobsters to be born blue instead of red. I am guessing that is also true of the Raspberry
5 – 🟡 Pineapple Bliss – No sweeter combination than pineapple and bliss. What does bliss taste like? This sh1t apparently.
I have to admit that these flavours do have some sort of a ‘slushie’ flavour to them. They aren’t cold but there is some barely perceivable cold quality. In the case of the Ke Cola, it comes across slightly watered down like a good frozen coke should be, in the case of Pineapple Bliss it comes across as a vaguely bitter and totally unidentifiable chemical taste. In no way at all do these cool one down after having a sports related competition in the backyard, though.
I am going to have to say almost the exact same thing that I said about the smoothie flavours. ‘ Not bad , vaguely interesting and slightly different take on the usual fruit flavours. I do think I prefer the originals to this sh1t, but it is nice to have a different option.
