Skittles are all the same flavor. The only reason each color tastes different is because of the dyes and perfumes added to each color. The dyes and perfumes trick your senses into thinking they taste differently.

So if I got a bag of skittles and blind tasted them, they'd be the same?
I will experiment.

That seems a little unfair. Aroma is closely tied to flavor, so I wouldn't say it's accurate to call scented products "unflavored". In Sweden, flavor added to products is listed as "aromer" on the label. Shows how closely scent and taste is related.

But yeah, on my way to work tomorrow I will stop and get some Skittles.

You got to have no taste buds to claim they are the same flavour.

I think the Skittles colors taste different, but it's been ages. No interest in buying any to find out I don't want to feel the rainbow. Actually I think rainbows are illegal in most red states by now. So maybe I should be risque
