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.

Pfft, I don't worry about HFC, I think most people's panic about it is overblown. All sugar is junk food, so saying one kind is worse than another isn't that big a deal to me.

Plus I hardly ever eat sweets these days. My childish sweet tooth has faded quite a bit.
