Skittle
A kind of candy · also called Skittles candy
About
A Skittle is a small, fruit-flavored chewy candy measuring about half an inch across.
This round, lentil-shaped candy is slightly flatter than an original M&M peanut piece but thicker than a standard milk chocolate M&M. Factory manufacturing ensures that regular Skittles are uniform in shape and weight, though Mars also produces mini and giant variations. Because each candy weighs only 0.04 ounces (1.1 grams), roughly 400 individual pieces make up a single pound.
From Wikipedia
Skittles are multicolored fruit-flavored lentil-shaped sweets produced and marketed by the Wrigley Company, a division of Mars Inc.
