The honest verdict

Is Skittles Original Actually Healthy?

Skittles may be the most honest junk food in the aisle: a pack is 46g of sugar wearing fruit flavors, with zero protein, zero fiber, and no pretense otherwise. Nobody's confused about what they're eating. If the fruity chew is what you're after, it's now possible to get it for a tenth of the sugar.
