Skittles consist of hard sugar shells imprinted with the letter 'S', similar to M&M's which have the letter 'M'. The interior consists mainly of sugar, corn syrup, and hydrogenated palm kernel oil along with fruit juice, citric acid, and natural and artificial flavors.[4] Skittles are sold in a variety of flavor collections, such as Tropical, Wild Berry, Smoothie, and Sour.
