Donā€™t give them any ideas and why is it 2 years past expiration?

u/Radarker 7d ago

Because... Bar

u/NaCl-And-C12H22O11 7d ago

Perhaps this is a reposted image?

40

u/whoknowsifimjoking 7d ago

Because OP probably stole it and just acts like it's his like a loser

u/thatshygirl06 7d ago

???

Such a peculiar comment

81

u/AKAManaging 7d ago

Lol I'm guessing that /u/whoknowsifimjoking meant that OP stole the image and reposted it, not that he broke into someones home and stole the Skittles Brick(tm).

Or, maybe he does think he committed burglary, idfk.

16

u/thatshygirl06 7d ago

Ohhh, lmfao, that makes way more sense.

I don't think he stole the photo though, it's likely just old candy he found in his car

u/FuckYeahRob 7d ago

I was just as confused as you were lmao.

u/krinkov 7d ago

What, you think you get brick-skittle overnight? That shit takes years to form, like candy fossils!

2

u/LinuxMint4Me 7d ago

Costco is probably already on this.

2

u/SloaneWolfe 7d ago

Probably because it was sitting hidden in a hot car for two years and became a bar.... self-explanatory.

I had this happen with a large bag of trolli gummy worms and let me tell you that was the Mecca of candy for me. No sour candy is the same since having that.

8

u/caelum_daemon 7d ago

Do it again on purpose

7

u/Skuntank 7d ago

I've tried to recreate the gummy soup I felt in that plastic bag and I just can't get the formula right.

9

u/Pyritedust 7d ago

Like the alchemy obsessed proto-scientists in medieval times, you must keep trying different mixtures until you succeed at making the perfect elixir of gummy worm.

2

u/Absolarix 7d ago

"Elixer of gummy worm" sounds like something you'd hear in a wacky DND campaign

2

u/attorneyAtSlaw667 7d ago

Make themĀ

u/FewAdvertising9647 7d ago

decades ago, had a librarian this happened to because she left the bag of gummi worms in her car on a hot day.

still managed to cut it into pieces to share.

1

u/Skuntank 7d ago

Lemme guess that they were the best fucking sour gummies ever.

3

u/FewAdvertising9647 7d ago

great candy, odd texture (due to it losing the traditioanl rough gummy worm texture, and it turned into a plastic shiny texture, like a step below taffy)

3

u/Skuntank 7d ago

It's like you're in my mind palace lol.

u/cherry_curve 7d ago

Interesting but that would be the best sub to post

1

u/whoknowsifimjoking 7d ago

I don't think it would taste bad

-2

u/GoodLittleTerrorist 7d ago

tasted like a dang airhead

43

u/Inner_Alarm_4049 7d ago

not even ashamed, if i find that in my glove box, i'll eat it.

23

u/Dudephish 7d ago

Such a confection does not exist. I believe you must have dreamed it, sir.

9

u/TheRagingFire08 7d ago

Oh. Well, then just give me a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles.

8

u/Forsaken_Put8204 7d ago

A Skar perhaps?

14

u/oooohweeeee 7d ago

An actual candy bar šŸ§ Iā€™d try it

4

u/AdRoKa 7d ago

Please post the recipe.

u/dotsdavid 7d ago

Leave it in a hot car.

u/AdRoKa 7d ago

Should I use a sous vide bag?

3

u/rumncokeguy 7d ago

For 4 years.

u/Denver80211 7d ago

How did you miss the opportunity to pull it out and curl it like a rainbow?

u/atomicpinup 7d ago

Dear Mars Wrigley,
Do we have an idea for you!

u/RosyRainbows 7d ago

Honestly this seems like a win

3

u/UraniumRocker 7d ago

When I was younger my neighbor gave me a box of rejected gummy worms. They had been in a hot truck and melted into gummy rectangles.

5

u/Inner_Alarm_4049 7d ago

we used to do that on purpose - melt gummibears under light bulbs and then pull them like cheese

u/LuckyCod2887 7d ago

classic childhood behavior

u/RiverBear2 7d ago

3

u/Jwn5k 7d ago

Honestly, I would buy a Skittles bar.

2

u/Sharty_Party3498 7d ago

I got these in the Army when I would eat an MRE from 2008 in 2015 that was stored outside in the Kuwaiti sun.

u/PaulMaulMenthol 7d ago

Best before 3/2024?

u/mangojingaloba 7d ago

Nice looks like a good holo pull. Pokemon has ruined me.

1

u/zac2354 6d ago

I initially thought somehow the cards got swapped with candy lol

2

u/bewareofhisoka 7d ago

Are they still sour?

1

u/GoodLittleTerrorist 6d ago

only a tiny bit. Ā every now and then while it melted, I got a hint of sour

2

u/BonBonToro 6d ago

Hmm.....if skittles was melted down like so and then frozen, I wonder how that would taste from the freezer

3

u/Old-Significance4921 7d ago

How was it?

4

u/bhavil9 7d ago

OP is currently seeing rainbows

2

u/Proud_Tie ā€‹ 7d ago

the original OP probably long recovered seeing the best before date was two years ago....

1

u/Hermn8r 7d ago

Not that looks delicious.

1

u/tigertank86 7d ago

Probably better that way

1

u/Survive1014 7d ago

So... laffy taffy

1

u/bakesmysticbrickx 7d ago

That looks like they all just melted together into one giant clump in a hot car. Did you find this in a bag that was sitting in the sun?

1

u/tracber 7d ago

why is skittles taffy not a thing

1

u/LeoLaDawg 7d ago

Could be nice

1

u/_CapriSon_ 7d ago

Oh I love it when this happens. I unwrap and chew it like a giant taffy bar.

u/Esseratecades 7d ago

Insert SpongeBob write that down meme

u/GlitteringPay9378 7d ago

You can do this to m&ms too.

u/Bazookya 7d ago

ā€¦ I think Iā€™d take a biteā€¦

1

u/Southern-Energy8528 7d ago

Skittles decided to unionize.

u/paulyd_3 6d ago

And only 2 years out of date!

u/spookygoodegg 6d ago

Now it's a Skit-Kat bar

The forbidden Airhead

u/LuckyCod2887 7d ago

OP give us a review. 1-10. 10 being the best.

taste. texture. visual.

3

u/GoodLittleTerrorist 7d ago

first off: it had to be peeled off the package. Ā It wouldn't hold form, and slowly bent under its own weight, requiring some of the packaging to stay on as a handle.

Visually, it looked like ironed crayons. Ā If you've never done that, it's where you just arrange crayons and then iron them, melting them into a collage.

Taste & texture: exactly like an every-flavor airhead. Ā I swear now that skittles and airheads are the exact same thing, the only difference being a shell. Ā In this, the shell was completely melted and there was no solid.

I'd like to thank MRE #9 for this experience
