People are loving Skittles' response to Donald Trump Jr.'s refugee tweet

The post in question, which was both mathematically inaccurate and wrong, drew outrage on Twitter. People replied to the meme by posting pictures of refugees with the caption "not a skittle."
The company that owns Skittles, Wrigley America, later released the following statement to media organisations (including Mashable):
"Skittles are candy. Refugees are people.
We don't feel it is an appropriate analogy. We will respectfully refrain from further commentary as anything we say could be misinterpreted as marketing."
Many on Twitter praised Skittles for the statement:
