Skittles partners with French’s to make a mustard-flavored candy

Skittles are a universally recognized candy that’s been a crowd-pleaser for decades, and its simple flavors are the primary reason since they appeal to most people. However, Skittles has introduced several variations of its original chewy candy over the years and now presents a peculiar flavor not many anticipated.


National Mustard Day is on August 5, and the famous candy brand has partnered with French’s to develop and sell the first mustard-flavored candy. It’s not something we can say makes our mouths water, but it does spark curiosity, especially in long-time Skittles fans.

Mustard-flavored Skittles

Wacky food flavors are far from being a novel idea. However, it’s uncommon to see such a wild variation of traditional candies like Skittles. In honor of the upcoming National Mustard Day, French’s mustard mobile will stop in three cities: Atlanta on July 31, Washington on Aug. 2 and New York City on Aug. 5. That’s the primary way fans can try the latest flavor, but you can also enter the sweepstakes to win a package.
