Two men, each trapped in the clenched fist of a giant–whose hands are all we see–talk about their predicament in surprisingly lighthearted fashion. One suggests that they could escape if they had a giant package of Skittles, which the giant would have to unclench his fists for in order to fully enjoy the candy treats.
But where can one get such a huge package of Skittles? asks one of the gents who himself is snacking on Skittles from a regular sized package.
The Skittles at least seem to keep the trapped men in better spirits than anyone would be normally under such circumstances.
An end tag and voiceover advises us to “Clench The Rainbow. Taste The Rainbow.”
