When eating Skittles and comparing to an M&M you will notice that the Skittle is much more chewier when consuming. When eating an M&M they take less time to chew and aren’t a chewy/gummy substance like the Skittle. Each candy has the same rounded shape with the hard shell. But what sets them apart is their flavor. “ An interesting bit of Skittles candy trivia is the fact that it takes around eight hours to put the candy coating on the outside of the fruit center” (Milton).
