Mars Wrigley-owned sweet brand Skittles has released its "first-ever" gummy in the UK. Squishy Cloudz combines gummy and marshmallows to form the shape of a cloud, with the same iconic fruit flavours found in the original Skittles product.  The new gummies come in two flavours: Fruits and Crazy Sours.  “Skittles has always brought bursts of joy to people’s lives, and the launch of Squishy Cloudz will be no exception," said Sasha Storey, Skittles senior brand manager. "We’re constantly innovating to bring our life-long fans new and exciting ways to enjoy the favourite fruity flavours of Skittles, and we can’t wait for people to start tasting the brand new member of the family.” Squishy Cloudz comes in a 120g pack and contains no artificial colouring. Available exclusively in Tesco for RRP £1.49 from August.
