SKITTLES® Partners with Actor and Musician Creed Bratton to ‘MFFLP The Rainbow’

Skittles ‘MFFLP The Rainbow’ is a playful escape to help Canadians avoid social pressures this summer

TORONTO, July 15, 2024 /CNW/ – Skittles®- proudly part of Mars – is all about playful escapism. This summer, as calendars quickly fill up, the brand is helping Canadians find a quirky way out of life’s social pressures with the launch of ‘MFFLP The Rainbow’ – the ultimate release from reality.

Leading by example with ‘MFFLP The Rainbow,’ Skittles has teamed up with musician and actor Creed Bratton. Known for his quirky behaviour and unconventional aversion for work, Bratton will be shirking his summer obligations with Skittles in hand.

“Finding reasons to dodge assignments and skip social events is what I do best, so when Skittles asked me to help them ‘MFFLP The Rainbow’, you better believe I ‘MFFLP’d with excitement,” said Creed Bratton, actor, singer, and musician. “I believe in finding any excuse to escape from reality, especially if it involves a mouthful of Skittles.”

But what is MFFLP? MFFLP, pronounced MAAh-FULP, which mimics the sound of trying to talk with a mouthful of Skittles, provides the perfect excuse to avoid unwanted conversations and truly enjoy the summer. Whether you’re called out on a work call, stuck in awkward small talk, or invited to happy hour, just grab a handful of Skittles, start ‘MFFLP-ing The Rainbow’ and consider yourself tastefully speechless.

“We know, Canadians turn to Skittles for a burst of excitement in their daily lives,” said Patrick Zeng, Marketing Director, Mars Wrigley Canada. “We discovered a popular trend discussed across various online forums: the communal joy of eating Skittles by the handful. This insight inspired ‘MFFLP The Rainbow’ offering Canadians a quirky excuse to enjoy a momentary escape from reality”.

Starting July 15, 2024, Skittles encourages Canadians to share their own escapes from reality by following @Skittles and using #MFFLPTheRainbow.
