For decades, Skittles have been either sweet or sour, but now they are also spicy. That is because the chewy candy teamed up with Fuego for tangy, chili-covered sweet gummies.
“At Mars, we’re always paying attention to emerging trends and looking for exciting new ways for our fans to experience SKITTLES,” says Ro Cheng, Vice President, Marketing, Mars Wrigley North America. “With SKITTLES Gummies Fuego, we’re adding some spice to a sweet, original fan favorite, bringing a bold flavor experience that we know ‘swicy’ fans will enjoy.”
Skittles Gummies Fuego comes in five flavors: Mango, Watermelon, Strawberry, Raspberry, and Lemon. They are available starting today exclusively on the TikTok Shop, and then they will hit stores early next year.

Would you eat ice cream that tasted like breast milk? |
| August 7th, 2025 under Junk Food. [ Comments: none ]

There have been some interesting flavors of ice cream, like Ranch, Macaroni & Cheese, and Pickles. However, the company for new parents, Frida and the ice cream shop, Oddfellows, created a flavor that might be the strangest one of all.
What is it? It is breast milk. Yes, the flavor that most new fathers want to try but then regret doing so. However, as I learned on the Jerry Springer Show and The Boys, there is a fetish for it. And the companies, I guess, are trying to zero in on that market.
The ice cream is described as lightly sweet, a little salty, with hints of honey and a dash of colostrum. And while it’s not actually made with human milk, we think our recipe tastes pretty close to the real deal.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, “Colostrum is the first form of breastmilk that is released by the mammary glands after giving birth. It’s nutrient-dense and high in antibodies and antioxidants to build a newborn baby’s immune system. It changes to breast milk within two to four days after your baby is born. Colostrum is thicker and more yellow than traditional breast milk.”
Now that you know that no human breast milk is involved in the making of the ice cream, do you want to try it? You can buy two pints for $12.99 each while supplies are available.
I just saw that Oddfellows is based out of the Bronx. As a girl who grew up there, I don’t know if I should be proud or not. What I do know is that I have been holding my milk makers since I started this post.

Today is a very, very, good day in the snack world! Oreo and Reese’s are joining forces for cookie and candy bar treats that will make more than your mouth wet!
OREO® REESE’S Cookie:
There’s no need to play favorites when you can have the best of both worlds in one delicious treat with the OREO® REESE’S Cookie. Each cookie features signature OREO® chocolate sandwich cookies filled with a REESE’S peanut buttery creme with OREO cookie crumbs. The cookie will be available as a cookie and cake.
REESE’S OREO® Cup:
You asked. We crushed it. Introducing the REESE’S x OREO® collab – when America’s #1 Candy and the #1 Cookie finally decided to break the internet (and your snack standards). This is the iconic duo our fans have been dreaming about. Begging for. And, now it’s here. You’re welcome. The REESE’S OREO® Cup brings together milk chocolate and white creme peanut butter cups with OREO® cookie crumbs. The cups will be available in King Size, Standard Size, and Miniature Cups.
“This collaboration redefines what it means to be a snacking leader by tapping into exactly what our fans are asking for,” said Michelle Deignan, Vice President, the OREO® brand, US. “At OREO, we’re always striving to break into the cultural conversation with unexpected and delicious partnerships for fans. As a 110+ year-old brand, we’re constantly looking for ways to disrupt the snacking market. What better way to show our fans we listen to their evolving snacking needs than to partner with the REESE’S brand to deliver the collab of their dreams.”
The Oreo Reese’s merger will not be available in stores nationwide until September. You don’t want to miss out on them because they are only available for a limited time.
My mouth says, “Yes! Yes! Yes!” The rest of my body says, “No! No! No!” Guess which body part is going to win?

It’s one more way to come together over a Guinness and enjoy your lovely days this summer.”
