Skittles To Give One Fan A Rent Free, Rainbow-Themed Apartment In NYC
Skittles is granting your ultimate NYC dream by offering one lucky fan the chance of a lifetime: to live rent-free in New York City for an entire year in a Skittles rainbow-themed apartment.
Per Apartments.com, the average New Yorker spends about $3,780 per month to live in the coveted city. And if you’re newer to the city, chances are that you’re right out of college and your salary is likely just as much as how much it would cost you to live in a NYC apartment for one year.
Designed by interior decorator Dani Klarić, the 353 square feet apartment popped up at Carmel Place, Manhattan’s first micro-unit apartment building located at 335 East 27th Street.
You might be wondering why Skittles is doing this, and as nice as it would be to think it’s because rent prices are insane right now, it’s actually in celebration of its latest innovation, Skittles Little. A play on the saying, “living large,” the rent free stunt is encouraging fans to live large, or in this case, small.
In case you missed it, Skittles launched “Littles” in September 2023 and they’re pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a teeny, tiny version of the iconic Skittles.
Um, bonus check. The apartment comes with a weekly housekeeping service. So where do we sign up? Fans can enter for a chance to win the apartment for a year now through Tuesday, May 21, at SKITTLES.com/LittlesLiving. All you have to do is sign up with your name and email, no additional asks required.
