i was stocking up on candy yesterday in walgreens and i ran across starburst's best idea ever. they made a bag of starbursts called "only the reds" and it's only red flavors. cherry, watermelon, strawberry.

WHAT A GREAT IDEA. i mean who even wants the orange and yellow ones usually anyway? not me.
Cristy
I like orange! And green. Watermelon and strawberry are good, though.

Izzy loves this. We always fight over the red candy flavors. Wish Skittles would do this as well.
Gigi
Are you serious?!?! I will eat all the orange and yellow ones for you. I HATE anything red when it comes to candy, except maybe strawberry/watermelon. I really despise artificial cherry flavours. If they made a "citrus" pack I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Haha at first when I read the topic title I thought you were talking about Smarties, that way you can't save the red ones for last because they're the only ones in the bag.

I never understood why Nestle only made black currant flavour Frutips available in a single flavour. The rest are only available in a mish-mosh of flavours. I find it hard to believe that black currant is their most beloved flavour. Again, if they made citrus Frutips I would buy those right away!!

I hope people know what Frutips are. _unsure.gif

That's the only kind of Starbust I'd eat, plus they also make the same for their jellybeans... such a great idea.
Gigi
LOL wtf @ mish mosh?!

I guess Frutips are just an Asian thing, although they are sold in Canada, but only because of the dense Asian population hahaha

Flavour > flavor. Colour > color. Respect the u.

Haha, that's awesome!

Ever since I was maybe 7ish, I've always chosen the red cherry flavour when it comes to lollipops/Jolly Ranchers. Not because they taste especially good, but because they make my tongue red (the most natural-looking colour for a tongue LOL). I honestly don't know what flavour I like most though. I'm not a big fan of candy. CHOCOLATE ALL THE WAY.

Well, this is the perfect marketing idea on a special holiday like Valentine's Day.
But red skittles on a hot summer day? no thanks. i have a fear with those big red hot balls
superstitious
But red skittles aren't hot, they're sweet. Red Hots are hot.

Of course, I love all that is Ferrara Pan.

WORD

and btw chocolate =/= candy, I don't know what's up with that. Like candy bars? I imagine candy bars to be bars of fruit-flavoured sugar, not chocolate.

When I was a kid I used to take a red Smartie and rub it over my mouth so it looked like I had lipstick on haha!
Joanne
LOL that's cute!

carmine, the red coloring used in starburts and most candies, is made from ground-up beetles.

CHERRY FLAVOR STARBURSTS ARE GROSS. but strawberry and watermelon are thumbsup.gif

i love the yellows too.

i like when they put the same flavors of jelly beans together too because there are a lot of strange jelly bean flavors. it's nice just to pick your favorite and go.

We have a candy store that you can buy any flavor by the pound. They have them sorted i think it was meant to just look nice on display but alot of ppl buy them.

i think this is an excellent idea. sucks for me though. can't splurge on candy for a while. sad.gif

i got like 25 dollars worth of stuff
smash
dang. i almost did that 2 weeks ago. i had to literally talk myself into leaving the store. i settled for one bag of tropical starburst, a standard size bag of skittles, and a couple candy bars. when did your sweet tooth kick in?
brooklyneast05
every time we go to this one pizza place we usually end up going to walgreens after that. i always wanna buy candy when i go in there. i have a sweet tooth for candy, just not normal desserts, for some reason.


WOOHOHO SOUR GUMMY WORMS

smash
those are pretty much the only kind of gummi candies i like.
nikx618

I've had those a few times, but I don't think I liked them all that much.
