Now bring down that evil corporations, Nation.

can we get packages with all the flavors except red? I’d certainly be more interested in a bag of starbursts sans red, than only red.

scott, something with that link isn’t working. also, good reference to colbert.

kyle, you’re crazy. but in any event, you could just buy bags of yellow, bags of orange, and bags of pink, then mix them all together. bam, problem solved.

It seems that Wordpress added some nasty crap to the link when I edited it the first time, and I can’t fix it. So here’s a new link

Kyle, you’re going to ruin this for us. How can we make the big corporation bend to our will if we don’t have a reasonable demand?

just voicing my opinion, since i’d have no interest in the red bags at all. but jared’s resolution might work.

or you would at least think with valentine’s candy that they would do a seasonal packaging of just red and pink.

hey! i think meg’s on to something. because other candies… like tootsie pops… have special valentine packages of only red and purple[cherry and grape] ones. so why not starbursts?

i also don’t like red though. i never eat the red ones.

if you eat the red ones, that means you are a communist or a witch.

…..or both.

I think the problem here is that you are discussing the original, lame starbursts. Of course the company didn’t care about packaging red and pink individually; they have moved on to bigger and better things. You know what I’m talkin’ about: Plum Passion, Kiwi Banana, Raspberry, Strawberry Banana, Mango, Melon, Tropical Punch, Blue Raspberry, Orange Creme. This is not even to mention the European, vegan-friendly starbursts (sans gelatin). You can’t possibly hope for Starburst Inc. to give a crap about pink and red when they have names like Plum Passion out there. I think you should first petition for cooler names for your old friends, otherwise they have no future. I’m thinking “Pretty in Pink” and “Better Red than Dead.”

haha. new names might help. that’s a pretty good point. i’ll send them an email about that, too. on the other hand, no matter what it’s named, plum passion just tastes bad.

I LOVE Plum Passion!

he’s not joking either…..apparently plum passion is actually his favorite. sounds like crazy talk to me.

yeah, if anybody ever suggests committing you (it hasn\’t happened yet, but you can never be too sure), i\’ll back it up with the fact that you like plum passion.

Mars, Inc did, at one time, package strawberry (pink) sans the other three original flavors. Which is to say, in a confusing, yet grammatically sound manner, that you used to be able to buy a package of all pink Starburst. I believe this strategy came about around the same time as the ‘Tropical Fruit’ version, but disappeared prior to the ‘Baja California’, ‘Extreme Sour’, ‘Berry Explosion’, and ‘Angry Stalker’ iterations of the product.

I am an Orange, Cherry, Strawberry, Lemon (OCSL). Thank you for your efforts, Jared.
