PSA: starburts--jelly bean update

edited December 2014 in April 2015 Moms
I didn't want to dredge up the thread where we were all talking about starbursts. I'm pretty sure starbursts came up as a way to drown out the OP. But...look what I found today. Unwrapped mini starbursts. I ate the whole bag throughout the day and now I have a wretched tummy ache. It was worth it though. The empty bag is on my desk at work but this is what they look like. I ran into them randomly at Michael's. Without the pesky wrappers in the way, you can pop a bunch at once. The ONLY draw back which doesn't bother me but might bother some: there is a bit of cross contamination of flavors since they aren't separated by wrappers. Go find yourself a bag. Pregnancy indulgence that is worth the tummy ache.

    There were yellows in there. They weren't exactly the same but worked for when you just have to have as many starbursts as you can in the shortest amount of time possible. I've had to bruch my teeth a million times. I'm pretty sure I gave myself a bunch of cavities.

  • I went through a starbust phase last week, ate a whole bag of the pink only.. Now I've moved on to swedish fish!

    Bought those at the dollar store last week. They were delicious but the big ones. I prefer the small sized ones but i still ate them. They were very fresh!!

    I made the mistake of eating starbursts during my morning sickness phase... Brighten side is they taste pretty much the same no matter what direction they're moving :) my love for them is a bit dimmed though.

    Anyone seen starburst jelly beans on the shelves or Do we have to wait until Easter? Because...want.

    I love those things. I haven't looked for them but would eat them all if I found a bag. I bet you would order them!! ETA--that would make the best stocking stuffer ever. I'm telling my DH!!

    Was this a bag of ONLY pink, or did you pick them out?
    I just went to the store for ice cream but if it was a bag of only pink I'm on my way back out the door!!!

  • I bought a "share size" Starbursts the other day (thanks to that thread!) and didn't share it. Definitely also got a stomach ache. Why is something so delicious also so mean to my tummy?!? :((

    I'm intrigued by these unwrapped ones! This product strongly appeals to my fat and lazy sides. Jackpot!!

    I always get the "sharing size" of candy while I'm at work... And never once have I ever even had the intention to share!
  • I love this entire board forever because of the following

    1. starbursts, both wrapped and unwrapped
    2. froyo
    3. cupcakes and cupcake ATM's

    You all make my soul so very happy with all the sugar!

    Haven't seen the jelly beans, but you reminded me of my newest craving that I was SO happy to find out of its usual season... Cadbury mini "eggs" for Christmas!

    Omg yes these are my favorite things ever.
  • I NEED starburst jellybeans.  If I can't find them when I'm home I'm going to be very, very sad.  


    If there's anyone who hasn't had them before do yourself a favor and eat them aaaaallll.  Or send them to me.

    The candy here isn't as sweet so it's much less satisfying. :<  Kit kat flavors are great but in reality you can only buy most of those in Tokyo/tourist places or at a certain time of year.
    I adore lemon Kit Kat. I wish we had them in the US. I need to search in some of the stores around here that import candy because now I need one!
  • I had to ask the boyfriend to stop bringing these home. I was devouring them lol.
  • fatcat11188 you would be my bestie to share candy with! I always give my 5 year old the yellow and orange. I eat the red and pink lol.

    The FaveReds are the best!!!

    YES! There are more like me! Yellow & Orange are my favorite, and while annoying that people always hate on them, they're always available to take from others, score!

    Now I want Starburst. damn it.

    I discovered this delightful little treat a while back and it changed my life.  I only eat the red and pink starburst and now there's a WHOLE BAG of them!  So so good.

    I must know more.

    They have all kinds of flavors here, there's a lot that you can't get except for tourist places (wasabi, strawberry/blueberry cheesecake, sweet potato, etc. etc.) but they also release different flavors countrywide throughout the year, in recent memory we've had raspberry, strawberry, chocolate-orange, and pudding.  Raspberry is my favorite ever.  

    But it doesn't really make up for the lack of chocolate from home, for me. :p  


    I'm so intrigued by this! I wonder if I could find any online. Or in any of the Asian specialty stores here, we have some really good ones.

    You should have friends or family send you a chocolate care package.

  • I love favreds!!! I love all the starburst flavors, probably orange is my favorite at the moment.

    @nincompoopery‌ I love all the flavored kit kats, haven't tried wasabi though. I did get a mint chocolate one a few months ago, an oreo one in Australia(which was good but not worth $4) and a peanut butter one(like reeses with kit kat, amazing!) the only one I haven't figured out is how to cook the creme brule ones, people at work say they are really good.

    @Prpljade‌ a friend back in the states said she found some at an Asian market, might have luck there if your near a big city.

  • I bought a bag of FaveReds yesterday. So much yum!

    Also on the kit kat front, a friend of mine just got a green tea flavored one from a friend. It makes me want to vomit.
  • @nincompoopery‌ I don't know if you have any relatives who would send you some but I saw Starburst Jellybeans at Target today.
  • I love the faveReds starburst bags and Cadbury eggs and sour punch straws! Now I need all those candies, on top of my snickers obsession!
  • Came back to this thread to let everyone know that

    1. Taco Bell has a starburst flavored slushy type thing. I didn't get it but contemplated for a hot minute. I thought that might be just a wee too much sugar for me.

    2. The Ultra Foods grocery store by my house had Starburst Jelly Beans with the Christmas candy. They were all the red and green flavors and they are delicious.

    @snowbigdeal‌ -- title change is being made

  • Thank you ladies. I've just had to convince my partner to go down to the shops because I "need" starbursts. Luckily for me he's happy to go!
  • Reading this gave me heartburn and possibly a cavity. I'm jealous of you ladies that can still eat this stuff!
  • @snowbigdeal‌ --damn autocorrect corrected my intentional error!! Done now!
