Default Where did all the limes go?!

Okay, in the last few weeks I've picked up several kinds of candy that I've always enjoyed, and noticed a very disturbing trend: the lime flavors are gone! They're being replaced with some nasty green apple crap!

Starburst...lime out, apple in
SweeTarts...lime out, apple in
Skittles...lime out, apple in

What the hell is going on here? Did they suddenly discover the lime flavor was causing cancer or something, ala the red M&M thing from way back? It's a conspiracy to ruin my favorite candy...even worse than when they added those blue tropical punch monstrosities to SweeTarts.

What, lime ain't sour enough? I'd much rather see a new, sourer lime than eat this apple garbage. Oh well. Charlie, got any stacks of the "old" SweeTarts you're looking to get rid of? Send it my way!

By the way, I haven't checked Spree yet...have those been defiled as well?!
