Now that Starbursts have covered all kinds of flavors including Tropical, Baja, Retro, Berries & Creme, Cake, and Spicy Buffalo they're moving onto new territory -- gummies. My first pick would have been to see Starbursts take a more Skittle-like candy, but I'm pleased they didn't go the gum route. Starburst gum would be all too tempting to swallow. The Gummies are tempting to swallow because they've got a great texture and a perfect placement of gel innards to allow for maximum oral popping action. They're by no means better than Gushers, but they are very full-bodied as far as gummies go. The flavors aren't completely true to the originals, but they're about as close as you can get when you go from chew to goo.



I was going to write an article this weekend, but so far I've only managed to get the logo down. Whoops. I'd claim I was busy but yeah... half the weekend I was only visible by a snorkel sticking up from the pool. The other half I was at midnight bowling and playing MarioKart DS. Did you know that I, in fact, do not get better at bowling with the more alcohol I consume? This was news to me! But holy shit did I at least look good.

Also worth noting is that the wonderful Chris Woodall over at The Sci Fi Guys who supplied me with The Thing action figure in my recent article (as well as many other great figures) has done a feature of sorts on my work, so definitely check it out!
