Skittles and French’s have teamed up to launch a new mustard flavor candy. In honor of National Mustard Day on August 5th, the two companies are releasing what they call the “summer’s tangiest yellow candy.” Fun-sized packs of the “first-ever mouthwatering French’s Mustard flavored Skittles” will be given away for free while supplies last via online sweepstakes, as well as at in-person pop-up events in Atlanta, Washington D.C., and New York City.
Fans of the two brands will also have an opportunity to try French’s Mustard Skittles — and snag some branded swag — when French’s hits the road on a multi-stop tour up the East Coast in the “Mustard Mobile,” a bright yellow custom-designed vintage bus complete with giant Mustard Skittles on top. French’s will be posting a map so people can stop by or follow along on the journey. Locations are included here: Monday, July 31: Atlanta, Ponce City Market — 675 North Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA 30344 — from 11 AM to 3 PM; Wednesday, August 2: Washington D.C., City Center — 825 10th St NW, Washington, DC 20001 — from 11 AM-3 PM; Saturday, August 5: New York City, Hudson River Park — 555 12th Ave, New York, NY 10036 — from 11 AM-3 PM.
