THE WAR IS ON: SKITTLES V. M&M'S

I was five when it all started : the Skittles v. M&M's controversy. Each are loved by children everywhere but when it comes down to who will be the chosen treat; the competition begins! The Skittles go in for the first attack by demonstrating their rainbow color; and with that, the M&M's advertise their sweet, candy shell. With the same shape and the same size how can a candy war like this ever be solved? Well, settle their differences, and then the battle is on!

Skittles were created by the candy Gods! (No, not really).. but they were originally invented in 1974 "across the pond" in Britain. By 1982 however, America opened their hearts to this colored candy. Each color also represented a fruity flavor from orange to grape, to strawberry, lime, and lemon. Over the years, the Skittles candy grew to different colors and flavors. A white "s"emblem is stamped on every individual Skittle, no matter if it is Original Skittles, Berries n' Cream, Tropical, or even Sour Skittles; the emblem always remains directly on the face of each one.

Not only are they fruity, they are also chewy. Their gooey insides unleash a blast of fruity goodness within each bite. Skittles always promote that irrestible taste with each little morsel. Not only are they amazing, but according to records they are the number one best- selling candy among youth across America! That is a lot of Skittles being sold everyday! "Tasting the rainbow" never could be so easy and tempting without the Skittles we know and love.

M&M's were born in 1941: their father went by the name of Forrest Mars Sr., and he started the legacy of candy-coated chocolates! Not only that, but he started the Mars Co who also make candies like Snickers; They are very successful in the candy business. M&M's also share the rainbow coating that disguise their chocolately goodness. A white "m" is marked in each M&M just like the Skittle's famous "s" emblem. The difference is, however, that the "m" can also be viewed as a "w" when it is upside down. This envelopes the attention and comedy to young children everywhere.M&M's are not always just chocolate though! Recently M&M's have undergone surgery that has transormed them to Peanut M&M's and Pretzel M&M's!

Unlike Skittles, the M&M's sizes vary. They offer original, to mini ,to large sized M&M's depending on the person's preference and size of their wallet. M&M's also have representative characters to each color and brand. Commercials for M&M's can usually be found over the holidays. Also, they have blue and brown on their color list; unlike Skittles. M&M's have been around much longer than Skittles, and are more preferred over Skittles to adults.

The war may never end as to who is the crowned champion of candy-coated delicacies. It all depends on the person. To those who do not favor chocolate: Skittles is the way to go. And to those who do not prefer chewy candies : M&M's baby! Choosing one over the other is no crime, nor a victory because they are both equally amazing in their own way. So go on candy lovers! And fight on for your sweet candy glory!
