Skittles ruined my life

Today at work I somehow got into a heated argument with my coworker about skittles and whether or not each color has an individual flavor. I was POSITIVELY ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that each color of skittle has its own flavor and that, if I had a bag of skittles in front of me, I could blindfold myself and guess the correct color of each skittle placed in my mouth. I KNEW for sure FOR SURE that these things were factual. My coworker proceeded to tell me that he had had this very same argument with a number of people in the past and that he had done the blind taste test on at least 20 people and proven that, in fact, each color does NOT have its own flavor due to their incorrect responses. To confirm his test results he had also called the customer service number on the back of the skittles bag and the representative told him that all skittles were in fact the same flavor. However, a bag of original flavored skittles does have a different flavor from a bag of tropical skittles. Tropical skittles, though, are all the same tropical flavor regardless of the color. Even after hearing all of these facts I was adamant that I, having been born with superior taste buds (i've been claiming this for some time), would be able to distinguish the flavors of different colors. Fortunately, my coworker just happened to have a bag of skittles in his candy stash in the corner. Eager to prove him wrong I immediately closed my eyes and began the test. Much to my surprise, I utterly and totally failed. I SWEAR that one tasted like grape!!!!! Not even ONE of my guesses was correct. NOT EVEN ONE!!!! I was baffled to say the least. My life would never be the same. My belief in the candy industry plummeted and is now at an all-time low. How could I have been so deceived? For any of you out there who believe, as I once did, that you too have superior taste buds and could most definately pass the blind taste test, I dare you to try it. You will be sorely disappointed. Don't let it ruin your life like it has mine.
