There was some big news in the space world this week, and little did you know that Skittles got in on the action when Jeff Bezos threw the candy into a passenger’s mouth. To commemorate the event, Skittles is releasing a limited-edition Zero-G pack for earthlings and extraterrestrials alike.

The new Skittles Zero-G packs feature intergalactic, aluminum packaging filled with blue and purple candies in Pineapple, Passionfruit, Raspberry, and Berry Punch flavors. Not only did Skittles leave Earth’s atmosphere for the first time, but we get new candy, too? This is a serious win all around, and the brand is making it even better by donating to the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum to support of the next generation of explorers.

“SKITTLES is always looking for ways to surprise fans, both earthlings and extraterrestrials, with shocking innovation,” Fernando Rodrigues, Mars Wrigley senior brand manager for Skittles, said in a press release. “We’re thrilled to bring better moments to fans by marking Skittles’ first trip to space with limited edition packs and look forward to pushing the boundaries of confectionery space exploration.”

Skittles isn’t revealing how you can get your hands on the Zero-G packs just yet — a little suspense can be exciting! — but you can follow @Skittles on social media so you’re among the first to know the availability details. All will be revealed later this summer and you, too, can feel like you’ve been launched into space.
