Top Three Reasons Skittles is the Freakiest Candy Brand

skittles_crank_the_rainbow.jpg

With a trio of new work from DDB, Skittles is continuing its mission to become the weirdest candy on the planet. In one spot, we have a dude dispensing skittles from his stomach. In another a school administrator admonishes a girl for running around with the wrong crowd and for letting them take advantage of her. And in a third, a boy explains to a girl he has Skittles-pox.

The third one is kind of lame but the other two do a nice job perpetuating the brand as the wackiest out there.
