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. |

Izzy loves this. We always fight over the red candy flavors. Wish Skittles would do this as well.

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.

That's the only kind of Starbust I'd eat, plus they also make the same for their jellybeans... such a great idea.

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 http://sugarhog.net/?p=56 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 |

But red skittles aren't hot, they're sweet. Red Hots are hot.
Of course, I love all that is Ferrara Pan. |

I imagine candy bars to be bars of fruit-flavoured sugar, not chocolate.

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  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.

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?
