We made Skittlebrau
Homer: "I'm feelin' low, Apu. You got any of that beer that has candy floating in it, you know, Skittlebrau?"
Apu: "Such a product does not exist, sir! You must have dreamed it."
Homer: "Oh. Well then just gimme a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles."

My friend Josh and I decided it was worth a try. We got our beers. We got a couple of bags of Skittles. We told everyone what we had in mind. They laughed at us.

It wasn't too bad actually. Gave the beer a sugary aftertaste, the Skittles would float to the bottom and soften up and we seemed to get more drunk than we probably normally would have.

Any chemists care to back that up with science?

No science
It's sugary beer. No extra alcohol content - they're skittles.

They go far better in vodka than beer. Leave them in there, in a freezer, a few weeks till they're totally gone, you'll have magical tasty happy juice.
