Jesus Christ, apple and grape?!? Poor Americans... in the UK that's Lime and Blackcurrant.
- kosievdmerwe 8y agoWhy poor Americans? It's purely a matter of taste. Apple is culturally significant and Blackcurrants are banned in the US (due to then carrying a disease that would devastate one of the forests). So one is more important than lime and the other is totally unfamiliar.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoBlackcurrants are banned in the US? Do they not even have Ribena over there!?
- avaika 8y agoYou can consume blackcurrants in US. You can't grow it (in some states nowadays). Read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackcurrant#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackcurrant#History
- skykooler 8y agoTo be fair, in America green skittles used to be Lime, too. I remember being quite disappointed when they switched to apple.
- maffydub 8y agoMaybe I just have a really bad sense of taste, but I thought they were just "green" and "purple" (also in the UK).
