Goo FilledTuesday, April 15, 2008
Starburst GummiBurstsIn that grand shipment of goodies from Mars last month I also got a box of these, Starburst GummiBursts.
They’re a new product hitting the shelves in the US, described as Liquid Filled Gummies. They come in four flavors: Strawberry, Cherry, Orange & Lemon. The package also boasts that they have Real Fruit Juice! and Great Fruit Taste(r). I thought the package was a little light at only 1.5 ounces (a package of Skittles or Starburst are over 2 ounces for the same price). But then again, with the light caloric density, that makes a package only 140 calories.
Inside the little medallions are a little larger around than a nickel. Each gummi has the juicy S on it and beneath that little dome of the letter lurks the burst. Biting into the firm gummi, there is definitely a thick flavored syrup center. The gummi texture isn’t as rubbery as some, it doesn’t have that bounce. The liquid is thick and tangy, but pretty much the same as the gummi, but in a different texture. The flavors, well, they’re the same as the Starburst chews. At first the goo center squicked me out, but I got used to it. But it never really did much for me. They’re a “moister” feeling gummi, but that solves a problem I didn’t really have. The flavors in the package, though consistent with what’s in a regular Starburst Chews package, just don’t seem to do much for me. They’re not quite tangy enough to get my salivary glands going, they’re just plain ordinary. Of course if one of my initials was S, I’d probably be more partial to these. These were announced by Mars early this year, but I’ve not seen them on store shelves and can’t seem to find them anywhere online. The package says that they’re gluten free. They do contain gelatin (of indeterminate origin) and are unsuitable for vegans. Related Candies
