Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co...maker of Skittles...responds to human skidmark Donald Trump Jr's tweet [View all]
Skittles maker Wrigley offers up best reply to Donald Trump Jr.’s refugee tweet

But perhaps the best response came from Skittles maker Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co., which carefully removed itself from the political brouhaha: “Skittles are candy. Refugees are people. We don’t feel it’s an appropriate analogy. We will respectively refrain from further commentary, as anything we say could be misinterpreted as marketing,” Chicago-based Wrigley Americas said in a statement provided by Denise Young, vice president of corporate affairs.
