No, at this time, Skittles are not certified kosher. The ones from the USA were never kosher. The ones from the UK used to be kosher, but they changed the formula about 2008 and stopped being kosher.

Depends on the ingredients, and on how and where the item is manufactured.
If the ingredients are just chocolate, then there seems to be nothing included in the mix that's intrinsically un-kosher. But that's far from enough information to be able to make a decision.
You'd also have to know what other products may have been processed on the same machinery as the candy cigarettes, and what their ingredients were.
That's why it's a lot less trouble to look for products that carry the symbol of an inspecting and certifying agency on the label. They know what they're doing, they're professionals, and they do it full time. Saves you a lot of time, effort, and nagging doubt.

It depends. If you are Ashkenaz, then you can't eat popcorn on Passover (Ashkenazim don't eat legumes on passover, and corn is a legume). If you are of a Sefard (who do eat legumes on Passover) origin, then you technically can eat popcorn on Passover, but it must have a reliable kosher for Passover certification.Correction:Corn is not a legume. The reason that corn isn't eaten during Passover is because of a naming error when it came to Europe and it became associated with one of the grains that the Torah forbids during Passover.

Any large grocery chain in Minneapolis should carry it around Passover. Look for the bottlecaps/cartons/cans with a notable yellow mark on them - that is the "Kosher" Coke (made with cane sugar, not corn syrup).
Normally, Coca-Cola (a kosher beverage) is made with corn syrup, however the Coca-Cola which is labeled as kosher for Passover (usually with a yellow cap), which you may see in the supermarket around passover time, is made with sugar instead of corn syrup. This is because Jews do not eat any leavened breads or leavened foods made from grains on the holiday of Passover. Ashkenazic Jews (Jews of German decent) have an additional custom to refrain from eating certain legumes, rice and corn. Hence, you can purchase Coca-Cola made with real sugar around the holiday of Passover.
