Limes are sarcastic lemons. I don't know how that makes sense but y'all know I'm right. I've got a box of Outshine lime popsicles in my freezer now. Their cherry limeade is pretty good too.

I love lime and am disappointed whenever green is green apple. Green apple candy tastes like an armpit smells. Nasty. I did consider it a small victory when Skittles switched back to lime after trying to make green apple happen for a while.

in not opposed to green apple on its own, but it doesn't work with any other flavors. Combine lime with any other skittle and its delicious, but green apple sucks every time.

Lime > green apple, nearly 100% is the time. The lime Skittles tasted like Pine-Sol, but I still loved them. Lime is vastly underrated IMO. I use it in cooking constantly, and for the most part I think it’s superior to lemon. I make lemon bars with a mixture of lemon juice and lime juice, and they’re so fucking good. Lime zest is a winner, too. It adds a little something that people can never quite put their finger on. Despite being a bit of an anglophobe, it’s definitely one thing that the Brits got right.

TargetApprehensive38@reddit

Supposedly the artificial banana flavor tastes more like the old popular banana type, the Gros Michel, which isn’t commercially available now. The new one (Cavendish) has less of the compound they use for the flavoring. Personally I think all banana stuff is gross, but the artificial flavoring is even worse than the real thing.

Green apple got stupidly popular when those caramel apple suckers came out.

I dunno, I don't get pomegranate from Blue Razz, but taste is subjective. According to Wikipedia it's an amalgum. *The flavor does not derive from any species of raspberry, but rather was developed using esters that are part of the flavor profile of pineapple, banana, and cherry.*
