These are good! Chewy and fruity and sour sugar on top. However, they can really tear your mouth up, especially if you eat more than a few (which like, duh). Better than OG Skittles in the moment, though.

Skittles are always fun. Ultimately these were a bit weird, and I don't know if I would prefer them to the OG Skittle mix, but they're still fun to try. The five flavors are as follows --
Wild Cherry - not my favorite, tastes like cherry cough syrup. 5/10
Strawberry - Just OK, a little medicinal, a little too sweet. 6/10
Berry Punch - These are the purple ones, and they're good -- similar to some other tropical candy, they taste like the store 'plant potpourri' smells, which is weird. Sweet. 6/10
Raspberry - A classic blue candy flavor! What wild berry should be all about. 7/10
Melon Berry - These are green and great, juicy! Not sure if melon is really a 'berry' though. Vibes of lime/lemon/melon. 7/10

This is different from the prototypical 5 flavors I'm used to -- it has like 8 or 10 flavors included, which is wild. A lot of different red ones that I'm not sure I can distinguish. I only tried a few flavors, but basically, these are a solid hard candy but nothing to get super excited about. They're fine. The hole is good in case I choke.
Mango-Melon: I certainly wasn't expecting to like this one, which is peach-pink colored, but it basically tasted like a mild watermelon (or canteloupe?) flavor. Pleasant, with no gross undertones. 7/10
Cherry: This tastes just like a Luden's Cherry Cough Drop, which is a tasty cough drop but not quite candy tier. Good, but a little odd. 6/10
Unknown red flavor: This was fine, and not cherry, but I do not know what flavor it was. It is red. 6/10
Skittles are a classic, but tropical skittles could go either way in theory - the blue makes it look fun, but "tropical" often means Weird Coconut flavor, so you never know. Luckily, these were overall pretty nice. There's 5 distinct flavors in the mix:
Yellow - This tastes exactly like a banana runt. So, I love it. 8/10
Green - This is more Lime than Kiwi, it basically tastes like the normal green skittle. I like it. 7/10
Pink - At first bite this was bad and tasted like cough drops, but then it pivoted to tasting a lot like the pink runt! Confusing. I think I miss Runts. 6/10
Orange - This was pretty neutral, much like the normal orange skittle. 6/10
Blue - This is the weirdest one in the mix. I guess it's kind of pina colada-y, but the passionfruit part of it is bad. 5/10
A lot of flavor overlap with the Tropical Starburst, which were also overall pretty nice.
