Ok, Skype officially wins the prize for oddest Valentine's Day promotional swag. (Disclosure: We ate a couple of the candies. They were minty.)
Now if only "Skype Me" had a dirtier connotation...

Somehow i knew Peter was the one who wrote this as soon as i saw the headline :P
And who says 'Skype Me' can't have a dirtier connotation!

Skype Me doesn't have a dirty connotation? Well, it does now.
Skype Me! Oohh yes! That's the spot! Keep skyping!

'Skype me' sounds like something a lady would say while getting a pap smear.
That's the best dirty-connotation I can think of :(

Word is the back of the candy says "With Intel"

You know, "Skype Me" always did sound dirty to me. I can't quite put my finger on why.

Yeah, they are also giving away ten free minutes of skypeout today only.

Skype was actually selling those candies? That is amusing. I think saying "skype me" is a dirty connotation.

how is Skype pronounced? Is it Sky Pee? (as in IP) or is it just pronounced as rhyming with "ripe".

Skype rhymes with ripe.
