I didn't see it here, I never see the ads, but at another site yesterday, I saw it. Don't know why it wasn't blocked.

You mean to tell me they are in the banner ads too?! gross! I have mine blocked too, and sometimes some will still show up here and there. I hope they don't get that one this board.


buttrfli, I know what you mean. Thats why I posted about it. I wanted to see if it was as disturbing to others as it is to me. LOL Seems like no one likes it so far.

I USED to love skittles! But after seeing that I don't think I'll be eating them anytime soon. That is just wrong on so many levels! Yuck!!

Do they have email? Email them and tell them what you think about it. They do listen.

Im glad you posted this kyla...was just telling a friend about this commercial the other day and she hadnt seen it. I found it repulsive,disgusting,&gross. Still cant figure out what they were thinking but it doesnt seem to be in favor of the company.

I went to the skittle site and clicked contact us and wrote them a letter letting them know that their ads were so tasteless, and it would not send. So I got their number and I am going to call them. I did not like the one about the rabbit biting the man or the one with the little man being put on the whatever it was to stop the leak.

But the one about the milking was nauseating.

This is the number that you can call to get them to let them know your opinion.

Thank you, It worked this time, I found out that you cant send a 2 page description of just how nauseating their commercial is. I wanted them to feel every nuance of my disgust.

Guess this isn't the only gross ad out there. Go tell them about the Skittles ad.
