½ Price - Skittles Fruits Lollies Party Share Bag (12x Fun Size Bags) 180g $2.50 @ Coles

160

A vegan friendly deal! This is the ideal Halloween treat and not have to worry if the kid's family is vegan or not! ;)

The good news comes in two parts. Firstly, unlike many products and foods we look at, when it comes to Skittles we can give you a short, simple answer. Secondly, that answer is yes, Skittles are indeed.

That said, Skittles are essentially coloured, flavoured sugar, like most sweets to be fair. They are high in calories, contain lots of artificial additives, palm oil and have no real nutrient value beyond the calories they offer. If you have adopted a vegan diet because of the health benefits, Skittles shouldn’t feature too heavily. On the other hand, the important thing here is that they can be eaten by vegans – we’d recommend them as a very infrequent treat!

    Do they do Zombie Skittles in Australia, or is that an American thing?

      Seen them in Woolworths for Halloween this year and tried a packet a friend bought.

      Geesh they are gross. An hour afterwards felt I could still taste it.

    Why would anybody give any thought to if a kid's family is vegan or not?

    • Couldn't give a shit tbh. Why is it that I have to cater to vegans when they come over for dinner but when I go to their place for dinner, I have to eat vegan food rather than them catering to my dietary needs.

        Is not wanting to eat corpses really that hard for you to cater for??

        I have to eat vegan food

        Wow you were forced to eat fruits, vegetables, legumes, are you going to be okay?

        If you went to someone's house and they sprung some roast dog or cat on you for dinner, would you refuse to eat it?

        • Perhaps try refrigerating your meat? I wouldn't eat rotten vegetables either.

          If you expect me to cater for you, then I expect you to cater for me. Also, buy a fridge, it'll help with your issue.

          And no, I wouldn't refuse. I've always wanted to try dog. The way the taste has been described to me is more intriguing than not.

        Because unless you have some peculiar medical condition, it's not a dietary need to eat animal products.

        • Neither is choosing to be vegan a peculiar medical need.

          • @[Deactivated]: Indeed, they are both choices. Whereas a vegan would refuse to consume animal products on ethical grounds, a carnist would be unlikely to refuse food without animal products. Either way, as a dinner host, I believe you're well within your rights to serve whatever meal you'd like, the social implications are secondary.

    Are you sure it’s vegan in Australia?

    Different region/market usually have different dietary requirement, so diff ingredients/process.

  • Don't they use crushed beetle to make the red color?
