Apparently, a concertgoer kept throwing Skittles at the \u201cWatermelon Sugar\u201d composer while he was onstage at a recent event. TikTok videos show Styles keeping his cool but shielding his eyes from the rainbow-colored candies flying toward him.<\/p>\n<p>The official Skittles account addressed the matter first on Twitter, sharing on November 15, \u201cDidn\u2019t think I needed to say this: Please don\u2019t throw Skittles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But that wasn\u2019t all. A recent edition of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/los-angeles-times\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles Times<\/a> featured a full-page ad intended to spread the message even further.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProtect the rainbow. Taste the rainbow. But please, don\u2019t throw the rainbow,\u201d the text said over a graphic of heart-shaped sunglasses with a green Skittle being thrown toward them. The bottom of the image included a public service announcement for fans. \u201cPSA: Protect your eyes from Skittles (by eating them, not throwing them),\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">PSA: Protect your eyes from Skittles (by eating them, not throwing them) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1qy1bOYeSt\">pic.twitter.com\/1qy1bOYeSt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SKITTLES (@Skittles) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Skittles\/status\/1594048049042554887?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Styles\u2019 bandmate Pauli the PSM held an Instagram Live session following the Skittles incident and told fans the musician was fine, but that they should stop throwing things at him. \u201cBut do me a favor, don\u2019t throw no more Skittles on stage,\u201d he said, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/music-news\/harry-styles-eye-skittles-los-angeles-concert-watch-1235172074\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Billboard<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, Styles\u2019 fans have a penchant for throwing food items at him while he\u2019s performing. Over the summer, the \u201cNight Changes\u201d singer got pelted with a chicken nugget as he was singing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho threw the chicken nugget?\u201d he said, as the fans in the crowd chanted, \u201cEat it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Styles replied, \u201cI don\u2019t eat chicken, sorry. I don\u2019t eat meat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Skittles brand is owned by Mars, Incorporated, a multi-billion dollar, privately-owned confectionery company based in McLean, Virginia. Earlier this summer, the brand also faced backlash for refusing to remove an allegedly toxic ingredient from Skittles candies.<\/p>\n<p>Per a lawsuit filed at the time, Mars had pledged to remove the colorant titanium dioxide (TiO2) from its ingredients list back in 2016 but had failed to do so. The food additive is banned in the European Union due to potentially harmful side effects. TiO2 is often found in paint, adhesives, plastics, and some roofing materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skittles is urging fans to stop throwing candy at musicians, and the company has even taken out a full-page ad to spread the message.
