OH MY GOD

The ingredients of Skittles are now vegan.

o_O

BUT: Mars (the parent company) funds animal testing.

DILEMMA!!

Um...I'll just buy one package? I mean, seriously: Skittles are the only candy I miss from my pre-vegan days. Milk chocolate was never my thing (better dark chocolates are almost always vegan), I can make my own vegan Butterfinger-ish type candies (cover Chik-o-stik with melted chocolate, voila). But Skittles?? They were my favorite movie candy. If I wasn't at a movie, I'd separate each of the colors out so that I had one of each in every handful. Yup.

I couldn't bring myself to buy them. Any company that hurts rats (and you know it's always rats... sigh) I just can't support.

I would eat them if someone else bought them/offered me some, though.
I really like Skittles, too.

Maybe I'll just steal them?

(I'm not sure if I'm kidding or not...)

And you're right, according to PETA it's rats they mostly test on.
