Canadian Selfie enthusiasts lined up patiently for their chance to be part of the historic record attempt and help break a world record in Canada, on Canada Day. "I love my fans' passion for a good Selfie," said Shankar, "and I was so excited to help Skittles capture the Selfie spirit and make Canadian history."
Canadians who couldn't be part of the record breaking can still continue to taste the patriotic red and white rainbow by visiting SkittlesSelfie.ca and uploading a Selfie which they can 'Skittles' and share on Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #SkittlesSelfie.
