Mom Emily Massingill recently shared a hilarious mix-up she had with some Halloween-themed candy and her two kids. Who doesn’t love candy, especially Skittles, right?

But this particular purchase turned out to be a not-so-great idea. Emily bought a specific Skittles flavor called “Zombie Skittles,” which she didn’t know had a super weird taste.

Zombie Skittles are a special edition flavor that is usually released around Halloween. These Skittles have some nasty flavors inside the bag, like the famous Harry Potter-themed jelly beans.

Emily’s story went viral overnight, and people rushed to the comments section to react to this hilarious incident. Reviewers online confirmed that these Zombie Skittles taste as horrible as they sound. Some even enjoy playing a candy version of roulette with these Skittles.

In a now-viral Facebook post, Emily revealed that she dismissed her kids’ complaints when they said they didn’t like the flavor. She thought they were just being picky and told them to either eat the Skittles or forgo any more candy.

Little did she know, her kids were right. They were eating Skittles that tasted like dirty diapers or rotting flesh. It’s no wonder they didn’t like them!

Despite the mix-up, everyone online couldn’t help but laugh at how funny the situation turned out to be. In Emily’s defense, she always ate Skittles from the same pack but never encountered the rotten flavor.

One mom assured Emily that it wasn’t her fault. Sometimes kids develop a dislike for things they used to love, and it’s just a phase. Limited-edition candies can be a hit or miss. In this case, the “Zombie Skittles” were definitely a fail.

So, let this story serve as a reminder for all of us to always watch out for limited-edition candies. You never know what surprises they might hold!
