Unlike M&M’s, which candies come in different colors but all taste the same, a spokesman for Skittles’ manufacturer — currently called Mars-Wrigley — denies that all the candy comes in one flavor. That formula has allowed Skittles to branch out.

What is the science behind Skittles experiment?

The Science Behind this Rainbow Science Experiment: When you add warm water to the Skittles, the sugar and food coloring start to dissolve. The sugar is moving to areas of water with lower sugar concentration. If the water is poured in the center, this is happening for each Skittle at relatively the same speed.

Do skittles float in water?

The letters on the M&M or Skittles candy do not dissolve in water and are adhered to the candy with an edible glue that dissolves in warm water. Since the letters are less dense than water, the letters peel off and float as the rest of the candy shell dissolves. The colored dyes of the candies will color the water.
