Skittles

no skittles are NOT made out of bugs or insects or anything like that, it's just pure sweetness in it like other candies.

Shellac is a secretion of bugs which is (or was) an ingredient in Skittles sweets, so the notion that they contain bugs came from that (though shellac is just a secretion from the bug, not the actual bug itself in body)

Shellac is edible and it is used as a glazing agent on pills and candies in the form of pharmaceutical glaze or confectioner's glaze depending on its use. When used for this purpose, it has the food additive E number E904.

Fizzle Skittles can typically be found at major retailers such as Walmart, Target, and grocery stores that carry candy. They may also be available online through websites like Amazon or the official Skittles website. Additionally, specialty candy shops may stock them, especially if they are a limited edition. Always check local store inventories or online listings for availability.

it got its name but scittles

Skittles dissolve in hydrogen peroxide primarily due to the sugar and color additives they contain. Hydrogen peroxide acts as a strong oxidizing agent, breaking down the sugars and causing the colors to leach out. The reaction can produce bubbles of oxygen gas as the hydrogen peroxide decomposes, which contributes to the visible dissolution process. This interaction highlights the chemical nature of both the candy and the oxidizing agent.
