No one in his or her right mind would think that SPAR or Mars (the company that makes Skittles) actually endorses “white pride,” much less white supremacy, through such packaging. Sane individuals would laugh at the image and move along with their day — getting a chuckle out of Mars’ woke LGBT virtue signaling.
Yet such laughter isn’t acceptable to Snopes. No, the woke scolds who have repeatedly targeted the Babylon Bee, condemning the right-leaning satire site of being more “misinformation” than satire, couldn’t leave well enough alone. Snopes decided to “fact-check” the image.
Of course, Snopes couldn’t call the image “false” or “misinformation.” The image was real — SPAR had acknowledged it as such. But Snopes did attempt to delegitimize the image, claiming that it was a “mixture” of truth.
“The photograph was authentic. However… The ‘Skittles White Pride’ shelf label was the result of an isolated oversight rather than a racially charged corporate expression of white supremacy on the part of SPAR, the supermarket chain, or Mars, which makes Skittles,” Snopes duly informed its readers.
