Tasting the rainbow

About a month ago, my boyfriend brought me a special treat.

Yes, Sour Skittles have made their way to China! The Chinese name for them is 彩虹 (caihong), which means “rainbow.”

I don’t know how long they’ve been here, but my boyfriend noticed them in his neighborhood store one fateful day. He says a store near his office also has them. Since then, I’ve found them in the impulse buy aisle at Wal-mart.

And so now, I’m forever buying them on impulse for 3.5 kuai (51 cents) each.
