Halloween 2020

Skittles develops smelly costume modeled after Zombie Skittles packs

Costume designed to encourage social distancing this Halloween.

Zombie Skittles costume
October 20, 2020

To celebrate spooky season and the return of Zombie Skittles, the brand has created a costume that’s designed to help fans stay socially distant this Halloween. 

Designed to look just like the Zombie Skittles packs, the costume’s 6-foot-wide frame encourages other passing humans to keep their distance. It also features a “Zombie Mode” button hidden on the wrist that when activated, releases the smell of rotten zombie to keep even the creepiest ghoul more than 6 feet away.

Fans can get their hands on one of the limited-edition costumes by entering to win on www.DareTheRainbow.com from Oct. 19-23. There’s only a limited number available, and winners will be selected at random on Oct. 26. The costumes will be shipped directly to winners’ homes by Oct. 31.

While most of the colorful Zombie Skittles taste delicious, there are a few in each pouch that are waiting to attack the taster’s palate with notes of soil and decay. Skittles invites fans to prove they’re willing to #DareTheRainbow and prove they can eat Zombie Skittles on social media @Skittles.
