I have a camo swiss-army knife.
I don’t take it camping, because if I drop it I may never find it.

The goal is to make more money for the shareholders of a plastic packaging company at the expense of human survival on the planet, by creating a stupid gimmick that somehow, supposedly “alternative” free-thinking “happy mutants” will blindly advertise for free even tho they live in a country where people are freezing to death right now because of climate change and far right capitalism

Am I understanding correctly, that eco-conscious consumers will suddenly abandon their purchasing habits and be lured into the demise of the human race via a plastic packaging gimmick?
Personally, I found it to be a creative concept. I would take the colored, hard-boiled eggs and try to place them in locations that mirrored the coloration. Given Skittle’s traditional packaging is a bright-red, this seems to be a useful means for them to be relevant during the holiday. I don’t suspect someone shopping the candy aisle to throw up their hands because they couldn’t find camo-Skittles and suddenly become eco-friendly and rail against far right capitalism.
I mean, the things you listed are bad. But I personally feel trepidation that this messaging is dipping a toe into conservative-style fear-mongering. Maybe that serves a purpose… maybe pandering to fear-driven headlines could get those on the far-right to start listening? Not sure how many peruse this forum.

Back in my day, we hid our grass in a bag of Skittles, not the other way round!

Bummed about the extra plastic, but mildly curious to see the “lawn mowing unfound skittle packets” videos come mid-April.

I’m not saying that some of these look like little bags of cocaine, but I’m not not saying it.

Does the camo on the package indicate the flavor of the Skittles?
