Mars Wrigley Australia has unveiled slushie flavoured Skittles, inspired by the nostalgic icy treat of summer.

Made locally in Australia at Mars Wrigley’s factory based in Asquith, North Sydney, the product is a world-first for Skittles available exclusively to Aussies and is the first locally made flavour variant for the Skittles brand this year.

Chewy lolly lovers will be treated to five new flavours; Blue Raspberry, Summer Strawberry, Lemon Lime, Ice Cola and Pineapple Bliss.

Whether you’re a tangy Lemon Lime fan, into the sweet sensation of Summer Strawberry or are mad for Ice Cola, the new limited-edition flavour will be sure to find a place in every lolly-lover’s heart.

Skittles Slushie is available from this week at 7-Eleven stores around the country, and other major retailers and independent supermarkets from July onwards.
