Does anyone ever wonder who created Starbursts? I am wondering b/c who would invent a candy with like 17 little pieces of candy individually wrapped in one big package! I am not an environmentalist or anything, but I think it is a total waste of paper (or whatever the material they use).

It is a waste but I love Starbursts.

Hey, my papa invented those... or was in Sawdust, I can never keep the two apart...

deleted_user 01/27/2008

i'm sure they were called opal fruits or did i dream that?

and i eat the paper. Yes I'm a sloth. lol

And it makes you look like a pig when you have them all lined up next to you.

Explains the three toes and lack of opposable thumb, at least

deleted_user 01/27/2008

see I like them being individulay wrapped cause I cant eat a whole thing at one time.

deleted_user 01/27/2008

Unwrap a bunch, stick them back in the package, leave the in the sun, see if the stick together -- maybe that's why they have the paper?

deleted_user 01/27/2008

oh i used to always line them up either in terms of the colours or the rainbow or by order of which I was gonna eat first. I'd give my mates the ones I didn't like (yellow ones, orange ones) lol

yeah....you don't taste it though plus I'm completing the great circle of life. Back in the old days we may have eaten tree bark, leaves etc.....paper is made from trees....it is returning to nature as I am a hundred percent natural (apart from my hair dye of course) and a great source of tree-goodness....
