Skittles Throws Shade At The Bruins With The Most Random Burn After Their Game 7 Loss

However, the nature of NHL playoffs is shrouded in unpredictability, and the Boston Bruins fell victim to its enigmatic ways, suffering one of the most surprising first-round exits witnessed in recent memory. Despite holding a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Panthers, the Bruins endured a devastating setback, succumbing to three consecutive losses. The heartbreak was evident as veteran player Patrice Bergeron shed tears on the ice following Game 7, aware that it might have been his final NHL appearance.

Understandably, the Bruins' fanbase was left in a state of shock. The team has faced relentless criticism and mockery, becoming the subject of ridicule among NHL enthusiasts on social media. Even unexpected sources, like beloved candy companies, have joined in on the mockery. Apparently, Skittles has an active presence on Twitter and seized the opportunity to take a jab at the Bruins. On Monday, the company shared the following post:

"Well, my weekend wasn't exactly fantastic, but at least I didn't squander a 3-1 playoff lead. Anyways, taste the rainbow."

Hours later, Skittles added another tweet, clarifying it was meant in jest: "Please refrain from throwing Skittles into Boston Harbor. It was all in good fun."

The tweet from Skittles swiftly gained traction on Twitter, garnering over 5 million views at the time of writing. While it undoubtedly stings for Bruins fans, many others found the exchange amusing. Comments flooded in, expressing appreciation for Skittles' social media manager:

"I needed a good laugh after that. Thanks, Skittles! Off to buy a bag now!" remarked one user.

"This is the kind of energy we love from Skittles," chimed in another.

"An unprovoked dig at the Bruins? I... I'm so proud. Buying Skittles tomorrow, and maybe some stock too," gleefully added a third user.
