Skittles, with only good intentions in mind, has released a series of their candies to help celebrate Pride Month. Relinquishing their various colors, in an effort to give the LGBT community a bit more ownership of the rainbow this month, Skittles created all-white packaging containing all-white candies. Uh-oh.

The campaign… “Only one rainbow matters this pride. Give the rainbow, taste the rainbow.” The problem… most people only see color, and in this case, that color is white. Not to mention that the campaign allows ‘white’ and ‘pride’ to coexist on the same page, and we’ve got ourselves a potential marketing shit-storm.

Regardless of how you view this campaign… I can’t help but think that the real issue, is how to separate and discard the yellow candies now? What do you think of this?

If you’ve never arranged a bag of Skittles into a circle on a plate of hot water, you should do so immediately.

Or, if you’re not much of a DIYer, you can just watch this mesmerizing video of Rainbow Magic, by Dexter See. Enjoy the rainbow!

It’s late Halloween night, and the kids are done tricking and/or treating. But they’re asleep now, and it’s time to do what any good parent would do…. Start drinking and raid their candy stash.

Be prepared this Halloween with this handy chart, that’ll help pair a wine with all that candy. Did your kids get an abundance of Skittles? Then you’ll want a dry white wine at the ready. Kit Kats are versatile, in that they pair well with a sparkling wine or medium red.

Did the kids get a lot of candy corns? Then there’s no hope for you this evening, and you should get better neighbors.
