LOS ANGELES - After nearly a decade, Skittles is permanently bringing back its lime-flavored candy to its Original packs.
Lime fans can expect the flavor to return sometime in October, Skittles confirmed in a press release. The packs will also include orange, lemon, grape and strawberry.
For years, the lime flavored skittle was the staple green treat in the packs since the candy was first introduced in 1979. But fans of the citrus flavor were disappointed when the candy company decided to replace the flavor with Green Apple in 2013.
Fans were so Irate about the change that an online petition was created that eventually garnered more than 6,700 signatures.
