First: I am not fond of poetry. Adding circular logic does not help.
Second: Oh my freakin' gosh.
I, like, just discovered Sour Starburst. This stuff is absolutely amazing. Starburst is now amazing, and this variant ranks a permanent second on my all-time Sour Candy Win list—the 1st place position obviously belonging to Warheads, which I am beginning to suspect are extinct.
This is tough to do, guys. I mean, I've had sour candy, and they all have to measure to the Warheads. Almost all of them fall short of even making the Sour flavor, settling into a vat of Tart mediocrity. Sour Skittles almost made it, but the flavor is only a crystal coating that lasts maybe four seconds, and you have to eat five at a time and risk getting your taste-buds burnt off to get any real enjoyment out of the flavor. Not really worth it, but since they're Skittles they still get eaten.
So tonight I'm at Wal-Mart, and while I'm grabbing my monthly fix of chocolate-covered raisins—which I always seem to devour before two days have gone by—I saw this box of Skittles on the multi-pack shelf, and I grab it. Turns out it has four packs each of regular, Wild Berry and Sour Skittles, as well as four rows of Starburst packs, two of which are regular, one is Baja, and I don't recognize the other but I figure it's worth a try.
So I get back to the dorm and pass around a few packs of Skittles ('cause I'm, you know, such a nice guy and such egocentric blather and what), and I grab one of the unidentified Starburst and read "sour" as the only other word on the front, and my curiosity is aroused. I mean, it's Starburst; they either did it right or screwed the hell up, pardon my French.
They did it right.
Okay, so their flavor choices are good, and 50% unique. I mean, I'm not surprised at all to see a (tasty!!) Green Apple, or really a (best of the pack!!) Blue Raspberry, but Tangerine and Strawberry?
No, think. Sour Strawberry??
Serious win.
If you guys run across Sour Starburst anywhere, I highly recommend you snag some. And don't worry; they ain't the Kill-Your-Face sour that Warheads are famous for. This is extremely tastefully mixed sour so it blends just so with the fruit flavor. I am positive you'll be pleased.
