If you're more of a fan of lime Skittles than of green apple Skittles, you're in luck. Lime flavor Skittles are coming back for a limited time, but not as part of the original Skittles flavor pack. Instead, lime-loving Skittles fans will be able to buy all lime packs of a bag of Skittles for a limited time.

?What Happened to Lime Skittles?
" data-instgrm-version="14" style="width:100%; max-width:540px; margin:auto;">The classic Mars Wrigley lime candies were moved from the Original pack to the new Darkside Skittles version in 2013, much to the disappointment of those who preferred lime to the new kind: green apple flavor. Since then, fans have asked for the brand to bring back lime, and for a limited time in 2017, lime was reunited with the other fruit flavors of orange, lemon, grape, and strawberry.
Unfortunately, the regular pack of chewy candies soon went back to offering the new flavor of sour apple instead, and fans have been pleading for the return of lime ever since.
Are They Back?
" data-instgrm-version="14" style="width:100%; max-width:540px; margin:auto;">After years of waiting, fans of the lime flavor of Skittles can finally reunite with their long lost lime pack, instead of just having the candies mixed in with their old original candy counterparts. Frankly, this is the least that Mars can do after soiling the original packs with green apple skittles.
In April, Skittles was in the running to win @TwitterMktg's "Best Brand on Twitter" poll, and the brand announced if they won, they'd bring back the lime version of the candy, according to Taste of Home.
Sadly, Skittles lost that contest to Xbox. Maybe they'd have been a little more popular if their classic flavor hadn't been axed. Fortunately, lime fans were not deterred. They started petitions and began tweeting Skittles to bring back the lost lime flavor, and apparently, the brand listened.
"You asked a lot. You complained even more... so here you go," the brand
