The Rainbow Takes Manhattan: 1 Year Rent-Free Tiny Apartment

Do you have a weird compulsion for being overstimulated all of the time? Perhaps a raging phobia of noir-themed life? Are you high (hello!) all the time?

Skittles wants to give you almost a year of rent-free living in the most aggressively-colored tiny apartment ever, not far from Midtown Manhattan.

Skittles Littles Living Promotion

It's a promotion for the Skittles Littles candies that came out last year. Have you heard of it? I haven't; but then again, I'm middle-aged and haven't heard of a lot of things.

This place would've been perfect for me in my bachelor days...if I could paint it black. *CUE ROLLING STONES*

It's like living in an Andy Warhol painting. Skittles calls it, "maximalism meets littlesism". A well-spoken kid on a raging sugar high (hello!) must've come up with that.

At 353 square feet, you're basically living in a big closet. A large lot of Skittles Littles is included with the apartment; to avoid diabetes, you should share them.

Little Apartment; Big City

Being close to Midtown Manhattan, it's actually a really great location. Typical studio apartments in this area run $4500+/month.

While the apartment is tiny, the building comes with a fitness center, a roof deck, a laundry room, an outdoor grill, and bike storage.

At least the bathroom is separated from the rest of the apartment. The smell of candy poops gets old.

Scoot and Skittle-daddle To Enter

I will NOT apologize for that pun. You have until Tuesday, May 21st to enter the contest. The "lease" runs from June 15th, 2024 through May 14th, 2025. 11 months isn't a year, but free rent is free rent...even living in the real-life fever dream of a sugar-crazed toddler.
