Skittles
So these were never kosher when I lived in the US. But suddenly, about two months ago, they started carrying kosher ones in stores here in Israel. I don't know if they've become kosher elsewhere as well.
But over the last couple of weeks I've had my first Skittles ever, and they're awesome!
(Gratuitous topic declaration so I have an excuse to have told you about this: )
What foods have you wanted to try for ages but only recently had a chance to?

I tend to avoid them these days because they're so damned sugary and I can't stop eating them when I have a pack, which leads to me feeling a little ill if I have a large pack... but yeah, they're pretty great. I still prefer jelly babies, though.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Yeah they're very sugary. Though not bad either, just sugary!
Skittles are amazing.
Skittles are tooooo sweet. I mean, pukedly, so.
Sour Skittles are only good Skittles.

I don't like Skittles.
I remember wanting to try sea urchin a long time ago, and finally getting to, and being disappointed.
Skittles... Put them in vodka and create a sweet drink that tastes nothing like alcohol. It is disastrous.
Didn't I get you sour, gummi Skittles or something? Was it Starbursts?
I don't eat them, but I happen to know for a variety of reasons Skittles used to be made with gelatin, but a couple of years ago were 'reformulated' to no longer use gelatin.
I don't know the rules of being Kosher, but it's likely a result of that reformulation; maybe it is even just as simple as the fact that gelatin isn't there anymore. They are vegan now, as a result, when they were not previously.
Fish gelatin is and always has been kosher, but it's more expensive and only used when you're deliberately trying to make your product kosher.
However, your explanation may well be part of the reason. I wonder if they're kosher in America now too...

Anyone remember Ice Cream Skittles? Those were amazing.
Sour ones were terrible and made my mouth scream.
Sour Skittles? gtfo with that crap. Skittles are meant to be sugar in circular form, and they are great as-is.
