Do skittles fade faster in water?

The outer shell of a Skittle is made of a sugar coating. When the Skittle is placed in water, the water molecules begin to dissolve the sugar coating. This causes the colors of the Skittle to fade. The longer the Skittle is in the water, the more the colors will fade.

The rate at which the colors of a Skittle fade depends on several factors, including the temperature of the water and the type of Skittle. In general, the colors will fade faster in warm water than in cold water. They will also fade faster if the Skittle is stirred around in the water.

Some Skittles have colors that fade faster than others. For example, the red color in a Skittle is made from a dye called Red 40, which is known to fade quickly. The blue color in a Skittle is made from a dye called Blue 1, which is more stable and will fade more slowly.

If you want to prevent the colors of your Skittles from fading, you can store them in a cool, dry place. You can also eat them quickly before the colors have a chance to fade!
