CANDY fans are begging an iconic brand to bring back a limited-time item that they say was one of the best.
People want to once again taste the nostalgic flavor of Skittles bubble gum that had a spot on grocery store shelves in the 90s and early 2000s.
In various corners of the internet, young adults can be found wistfully discussing old snacks that disappeared throughout the years.
One treat that continues to get attention on Twitter and elsewhere is Skittles bubble gum.
The gum comes in a memorable rectangular package that holds a handful of colorful gum pieces.
The candy appears to be just the normal sweet at first, but fans will remember the Skittle would crush into a gum that was delicious, yet fleeting.
