Go Green.

I have a friend at work who likes to keep me informed of various things. Most of the time it's sports or breaking news related, but a couple days ago, it was candy related. He was apparently eating a bag of skittles. The traditional kind. You know, the ones that come in the red bag. Anyway, he sent me a message and told me that the lime skittle was no more. It had been replaced, in favor of a new flavor: Green Apple.

This, by the way, apparently happened much earlier this year, so I'm a little late to the party, I realize. The lime flavored skittle had been apart of the original mix since 1974 when Skittles were released in Europe (they weren't released in America until 1979). What was the logic behind this decision? I have no idea. But I do know two things. The first is, the entire makeup and chemistry of the original skittles is now entirely gone. When you throw a mix of them in your mouth, it won't ever be the same. Secondly, the lime skittle is now history, making it a perfect choice for the first non-human H-POD in the brief but illustrious history of the H-Pod.

It's late, so that's all I have for tonight. Writing a paper for a class got in the way of a more thoughtful H-POD. Tomorrow's should have a little more substance.
