skittles

Colorful fruit chews

Skittles is a British lawn game in which players roll a ball to knock down wooden pins, similar to bowling but typically played outdoors with nine pins arranged in a diamond pattern.

The game has regional variations throughout Britain and dates back centuries.

In American usage, Skittles more commonly refers to the colorful fruit-flavored candy sold in small packets, whose advertising slogan invites you to "taste the rainbow."
