Skittles is celebrating its flight into space with limited Zero-G candy packs

"Who wants a Skittle?"

With those four words delivered from high above Earth, Jeff Bezos not only launched a handful of the fruit-flavored candies floating about his Blue Origin New Shepard space capsule, but also inspired a new, limited-edition variety of the popular colorful treats.

Mars, Incorporated, the confectioner behind the "Taste the Rainbow" brand, announced on Thursday (July 22) that it has created "Zero-G Skittles," celebrating its candies' high-profile trip two days earlier aboard the first suborbital spacecraft to take a paying passenger into space.

Skittles is giving away a zero gravity flight to test out limited 'Zero-G' candies

Three months after certifying that their fruit-flavored candies are "guaranteed to actually float while in space," Skittles is offering one lucky fan the chance to test it out for themselves.

Mars Incorporated, the confectioner behind the "Taste the Rainbow" brand of candies, is giving away a zero-g experience for two from Zero Gravity Corporation, "along with a bag of limited-edition Zero-G Skittles." Another 99 winners will also be selected to receive limited edition "Zero-G" candy packs.

To enter, Skittles and space fans only need to buy a Skittles product from Amazon and submit their order number with their contest entry at SkittlesInSpace.com. The sweepstakes began on Thursday (Sept. 30) and runs through Oct. 14.
