Cons
Con Expensive and hard to find locally
Tomato Pretz can be expensive depending on the store (as they are imported) and may be difficult to find. Though Amazon and other online retailers do carry them.
Con Some flavors have meat extracts
Not a good choice for vegetarians as some flavors use meat extracts.
Con Replaced lime (in original Skittles) with green apple
One of the best things about the original Skittles was that all of the flavors worked together. Eating a random handful at once was never a problem as all the flavors could combine with versatility. Now that effortless combination of flavors does not work as green apple has been thrown into the mix replacing the original lime, now creating an odd amalgamation of flavor that just does not work as one.
