Skittles Power
Skittles are produced with many different colors, flavors, and sours. The skittles
company began in the era of the seventies. Skittles with lemon flavor is the skittle that
most people love. Skittles is a sweet with different colors, and it carries the letter S.
Skittles come in six different colors, blue (Cherry cola flavor), red (strawberry flavor),
orange (orange flavor), green (green apple flavor), purple (grape flavor), and yellow
(lemon flavor). Skittles with lemon flavor contains secret power, gives you energy, and
its the most skittles that people love.
Most people love skittles with a lemon flavor. In the advertisement, it was a sunny
day. There were two men in an old village sitting in front of a barbershop on a sofa that
was made up of metal, and they were eating skittles in a gray bowl. One of them who
were sitting on the left side of the sofa was wearing a green t-shirt, with a gray jacket on
top of it, gray short, and brown shoes. The other guy was sitting on the right side of the
sofa wearing a white t-shirt, red jacket on top of it, black cap, gray pants, and black
shoes. The guy with green T-shirt was holding the bowl then he said: Just one lemon
left. The advertisement then shows three skittle pieces of orange (orange flavor), three
purple (grape flavor), two green (green apple flavor), seven red (strawberry flavor), and
one yellow piece was left in the gray bowl (lemon flavor). The guy who was wearing the
white t-shirt said: Lemon skittles is my favorite. The guy with green t-shirt responded

AlSaadi 2
nervously And my favorite. The guy with white t-shirt picked up the yellow skittles and
said Lets settle it to usual way. Both guys then stood up immediately, looking at each
other, and then they started walking. The guy who was wearing a green t-shirt left the
bowl on the sofa.
In the second scene there was a man ringing a bell in the middle of the village
with his right muscled arm and screaming settle it to usual way. The third scene was in
a barbershop. It showed a barber with a right muscled arm screaming in his shop settle
it to usual. There was a man sitting on the shaving chair. The man took the shaving
cover that was on him, and threw it away. His right arm had huge muscles, and his left
arm was normal. The third scene was in car a maintenance shop. Three mechanics men
were fixing a car. The three men heard the sound of people who were screaming and they
were saying: Settle it to usual way. The three men stood immediately, and they stopped
working on the car. The mechanics right arms were muscular, and their left hand was
normal. In the fourth scene there was a chef wearing a white cooking cloth. His right arm
was muscled, and the left arm was normal. The chef heard the sound of the people when
they were screaming and saying: Lets settle it to usual way. The chef was holding two
plates and then he left them both. A sound of the plates while breaking can be heard in the
background of the advertisement.
Everyone was going to the village square. The fifth scene was in a restaurant. The
scene shows everyone going out of a restaurant. Their right arms are muscular, and their
entire bodies are normal. In the sixth scene everyone was gathering at the village square.
The two guys who were eating skittles were in the middle of the village square. The place
was getting crowded. The two guys were standing on opposite side and a wooden table

AlSaadi 3
was in between them. The two guys took their jackets off. Their right arm was muscular.
The guy who is wearing a black cap and a white t-shirt was excited and he screamed:
Woooooowww. The guy with the black cap started to display his muscled right arm to
the people. The guy with the green t-shirt also displayed his right arm.
Everyone was with a muscular right arm. The advertisement started showing two
kids watching the challenge. The two kids were with a right muscular arm, baby and his
mom with a right muscular arm, and a skinny dog with a right muscled arm (everyone
was silent). When the advertisement showed the dog with a muscular right arm a man
screamed: Settle it to usual way. Then everyone started repeating and screaming after
him.
The arm wrestle challenge begins between the two guys. The two guys put their
right hand on the table, and they started wrestling. The yellow skittles was on the wooden
table. The guy who was wearing a black cap was trying to beat the guy who was wearing
the white t-shirt, but he couldnt. The yellow skittle was vibrating on the table. The guy
who was wearing a white t-shirt looked at the vibrating yellow skittle while he was
wrestling. When the guy with the white t-shirt looked at the yellow skittles he beats the
other guy immediately in the challenge. Everyone started screaming except the guy who
was wearing a black cap he was silent. The guy with the green t- shirt started waving his
right muscular arm and screaming (he was happy).
The commercial ends with a scene that was showing a picture of a rainbow up
side down containing the six skittles color and a cloudy sky as a background. In the
middle was written in white and bordered in blue with a big font size SETTLE THE
RAINBOW on the left, and TASTE THE RAINBOW a little under on the right with

AlSaadi 4
the same font size written in white and bordered in red. In the bottom of the picture was
written with a small font #Settleit. On the top of the picture there was a red original
skittles pack. The commercial also ends with a sound of a man saying: Settle the
rainbow taste the rainbow with a high base voice.
The commercial was focusing on the skittle with a lemon flavor. From the
beginning of the commercial the guy who was wearing a white t-shirt said: Just one
lemon left and then the commercial shows a one yellow skittle surrounded by many five
different skittles colors, and at the end the two guys were wrestling for a lemon flavored
skittle. Which make the audience focusing more on the skittle with the lemon flavor. The
two guys said that the lemon skittles is their favorite, and that gives the audience positive
impact about the lemon flavored skittles.
Skittles with lemon flavor is the best among the people. The guy who was
wearing a black cap picked up the yellow skittles in between the other colors, and the guy
who was wearing the white t-shirt left the gray bowl on the sofa and the other colors of
skittles are in it. In the middle the commercial shows everyone with a muscled right arm
and they were screaming Settle it to usual way which means that they are used to have
a challenge between each other for a skittle with a lemon flavor. At the end of the
commercial the yellow skittle was on the wooden table, and the people were surrounding
it. This scene shows the importance of the yellow skittle and how people love it.
The yellow skittles contains a secret power. Yellow is a color of energy and it
generates the muscle energy, so the color can explain the secret power that the yellow
skittles have. Everyone right arm in the village was muscled, and this shows how
powerful one yellow skittle is. At the end of the commercial the guy who was wearing a

AlSaadi 5
green t-shirts before winning the arm wrestle challenge was looking at the yellow skittle
while vibrating, and that gave him the energy to win the yellow skittle and the challenge.
The time where the advertisement was taken there were some difficulties people
face everyday. The commercial seemed to be taken at the era of seventies where
communication and transportation was difficult in some places such as villages on
mountains and deserts, and they didnt have phones and highways, but they have cars (at
seventies was the beginning of skittles). There was not a lot of food available in the
markets. There were a few markets in the village. The most foods they come from farms
and pastures, and in that certain time the transportation was difficult because there was no
roads and highways as now, but that wasn't a big problem for skittles because skittles
were available everywhere and every time.
The commercial showed the audience the other kinds of skittles. At the beginning
the commercial showed the gray bowl with a one yellow skittles surrounded by five
different colors of skittles. The commercial was focusing on the yellow skittle, but it gave
the audience an idea that there are different kind and colors of skittles. At the end of the
commercial when the man said: Settle the rainbow taste the rainbow the man
mentioned the rainbow which explains that there are different colors and flavors of
skittles, but the commercial was talking about the yellow skittles more because it was
targeting the people who love the lemon sour taste.
The commercial was talking about the yellow skittle secret power. The
commercial was targeting people who love lemon sour taste, and it shows them the secret
power that the yellow skittles have, how people usual deal with two arguing on yellow
skittle, and most people love it. The commercial also showed the beginning of skittles at

AlSaadi 6
the seventies. At the beginning and at the end the commercial gave the audience an idea
that there are five more different colors and flavors of skittles.
