Mustard-Flavored Skittles Debut Ahead Of National Mustard Day

HUNT VALLEY, MD — Maryland-based spice maker McCormick & Company is rolling out another mustard-flavored concoction just in time for National Mustard Day on Aug. 5. This time, lovers of the tangy condiment can taste a new addition to the rainbow with French's mustard-flavored Skittles.

The condiment-inspired candy is the latest in a line of unique products released by the Hunt Valley company to honor National Mustard Day. Last year, the company released mustard-flavored donuts. Previously, McCormick & Company celebrate the holiday with mustard ice cream.

"We knew we had to outdo ourselves," Valda Coryat, North America vice president of marketing for McCormick & Company, said in a news release. "We are thrilled to collaborate with Skittles to deliver our beloved classic yellow mustard tang in a new, fun way to French's and Skittles fans alike."

While the limited-edition flavor won't be available to purchase in stores, curious candy connoisseurs can register online for a chance to win a fun-sized bag of the candy.

The collaboration will also hit the road when the French's "Mustard Mobile" makes stops in Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and New York City in the coming days. During the events, employees will hand out candy samples and swag, according to the news release.
