since 96 fl oz. = 2,839.06 ml; 1 ml = 1 cubic centimeter of volume
assuming that slightly less than 2 skittles can fit into 1cc perhaps 1.6 skittles allowing for the irregular shapes
4,543 skittles
what's the prize anyway?

It depends on the shape of the jar. I don't know how many you could fit into the optimally shaped jar, but if you had a really narrow container, narrower than the width of a skittle, the answer would be none, even it were much larger in overall capacity for volume.

Too many to eat in one sitting.
But I would be willing to give it a try.
About kutekymmee's method. Be sure to measure the number of ounces yourself. Do not use what is written on the packages, because this gives the weight not the volume. Other than that, it sounds like a pretty good method (although I personally would buy a big bag . . . for science of course :))

1 - buy a bag of skittles ( a small one)
2- see how many ounces are in this bag
3- count the skittles in the bag
4- simple math

Do we get to blend the skittles and use the blend to fill in the empty spaces? Or do we have to leave them whole?
