<P> Skittles candy products, produced by the Wm . Wrigley Jr . Company, come in a wide variety . Most of the varieties are available only in particular regions of the world . The oldest Skittles product is Original Fruit Skittles, which was originally released in Europe in 1974, and was launched in the United States in 1979 . The most recent flavor, Trick Plays, was released in August 2017 . Earlier Skittles products tended to focus on fruit flavors, more recent products have branched out to include flavors such as chocolate, bubble gum, popcorn, mint, and sours . Skittles products also come in a wide variety of colors, although different Skittles products often use the same colors for sweets with different flavors . For example, the color yellow is associated with lemon flavor in Original Fruit Skittles and as banana berry in Tropical Skittles . </P> <P> The original Skittles in the United States were orange, lemon, lime, grape and strawberry . Skittles no longer has the original Skittles for sale in the United States, although they label the package as if they are original .
