Skittles Smoothie Mix

Skittles, not my deal personally, but the new flavor - Skittles Smoothie Mix - pushes a button. "Like a fruit smoothie drink in a candy shell," sez the little slogan. How meta izzat? Cuz the thing is, they taste nuthin like a smoothie. Their candy coating may be a smoothie-esque pastel, but they pretty much taste like regular Skittles. But I guess if yer a kid these days, your only connection to fruit is via a smoothie drink. (Duhyou spose "smoothie" implies "healthy"?) Tums has “smoothie” flavors too incl a new cocoa & cream, but in their case, smoothie = smooth texture.
