Skittles is an iconic candy packaged
with is rainbow design
Instead of a leprechaun’s pot of gold multicolored candies you will find
Candies of different colors and subtle different
tastes
To be savored slowly and not swallowed with haste
But even an iconic candy maker is not
immune from the forces of woke
And in its latest move like Bud Light
may the fires of boycott stoke
For Pride Month Skittles ditched its
rainbow to support LBGTQ+
With special packages that are raising
quite a fuss
One package for example has a slogan “Black Trans Lives Matter”
Resulting from partnership with GLAAD will
consumers like Bud Light the brand batter?
Skittles must be hoping that will not
be the case
After opening the bags they crumple and the logo not staring the eater in the
face
But moms and dads are usually the ones
that for the kids Skittles buy
Knowing for each Skittles Pride pack sold $1 up to a 100 G’s to GLAAD Skittles
they may deny
Any boycott that would cut down on
sugar would be a great thing
Along with a bonus of a return to marketing sanity anti-Woke campaigns would
bring
