Making their debut in the Skittles Original pack, consumers can expect to find packages featuring the lime flavor to begin popping up on shelves beginning in October, with a national rollout over the next few months.

Lime disappeared from packs in 2013 when it was replaced by green apple candies, the company said.

“It’s no secret that lime has been a hot topic for Skittles fans since we replaced them with green apple back in 2013. Green apple has had a good run, but the fans have spoken and it’s time for lime to return to the rainbow,” Fernando Rodrigues, Mars Wrigley senior brand manager said. “What better way to bring better moments to our loyal fans, than with the return of the most asked about flavor? The joy of lime can’t be denied anymore. It is back. This time for good.”

Both original and sour packs of Skittles will now contain orange, lemon, grape, strawberry, and lime flavors.
