Dear Sir,

as a longstanding enjoyer of your product I feel I must voice a strong complaint about a quality issue that has arisen that has marred my enjoyment of it.

I like all flavours of skittles, save for the purple ones, this inasmuch as of itself is not a problem. It encourages me to share and always ensures that I have some to hand out to other people.

However, I encountered in my 230g deluxe bag of skittles a rude surprise, I had just popped a green skittle into my mouth, and to my annoyance and distaste it was not the pleasant lime flavour that I have grown to associate with said colour/sweet combination, instead it was the blackcurrenty purple flavour that I do not like at all, and left the aftertaste of such in my mouth and thereby ruined my further enjoyment of your product until I had had a drink.

The batch/information for the bag in question is :
12 01 02
SP1114B
Which I purchased at Bar Hill Tescos Petrol Station in Cambridge.

I am unable to return the rest of the product as I was determined to self-test every other last skittle in the bag to check for other inconsistencies, somewhat apprehensively may I add.
Luckily the rest were safe.

I hope this information is conducive to an increase in the quality of your product,

Sincerely

Robin Langridge
