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
Published: Sept 20, 2016 9:27 a.m. ET
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.
