Popular food blogger Snackolator shared the news that “There is a Skittles *fun dip* clone for Valentine’s Day” that has already been spotted at Walmart.
The influencer continued, writing in the caption to their Instagram post that the box with 18 packets of individual dips “features Strawberry, Lime, Lemon, and Orange Skittles flavored powder packets that you dip your candy stick into – like Fun Dip but with Skittles flavors.”

The product, called Skittles Dig ‘n Dips, is manufactured by Frankford, a Pennsylvania-based company that has partnered with other brands for innovative collaborations like Dunkin hot chocolate bombs, Sour Patch Kids marshmallows, and Starbursts conversation hearts.
“Skittles out here making moves🔥👏,” said one fan on Instagram about the Dig ‘n Dips, while another commented, “My inner child is screaming. Lol.”
“Omg I got to try those,” wrote one commenter, and another agreed, writing, “I want this 😍.”
Though most of the comments expressed excitement about the new candy, a few fans had some constructive criticism to share. “Since it said 18 packets but 4 flavors. Should been balanced out with either 16 or 20 packets,” wrote one commenter. They continued, saying that they “hope the sticks are flavored than just chalk plain flavor,” prompting others to chime in.
“I think the packets are duos so 2 flavors one packet,” responded one fan, and another jumped in to say “it’s 18 2 pack combos so you’ll have 9 of each ?!? There’s nothing odd about it unless you’re trying to get it for only 20 people but just buy 2 at that point.”
A third fan then explained the breakdown based on the image shared by the food blogger, writing “in the end you have 9 cherry stick w lime powder and 9 lemon w orange powder.”
