    Starbursts did a number on my teeth back in the day. Nothing beats having a crown ripped off by chewing one of those suckers.

    Am I the only one who loves the buttered popcorn one?

    That is an absolute tragedy. Jelly Bellies ROCK.

    You know, growing up, what are called Starburst here were called Opal Fruits.

    Of course, eventually they changed the name to conform to the American name, just like Snickers bars were originally called Marathon bars.

    My nutritionist has only two never-eat-this-junk on her list: anything with red dye, and microwave popcorn.

    She predicts both will be banned by the FDA within the next decade.

    Dammit, you used to be cool, Ginger. The one day every two years or so I eat Starburst, and want to savor the red ones, I'm going to think about some unnamed nutrionist and wondering what possible deadly maladies are set to come.

    Microwave popcorn does suck, though. I love my air popper.

    The making of microwave popcorn in an office setting should be an offense punishable by summary execution.

    Furthermore, pink Starburst are in no way the best Starburst. Of the four main flavors, they are the least tasty and the least delicious. Orange and yellow offer a little tart tangy goodness, and red is the taste sensation pink only dreams of being. Pink may be the younger sister who outshines her older sibling in the early going, but slow and steady wins the race. Pink just ends up settling for a menial job and a slightly overweight husband.

    With a codicil that the burning of microwave popcorn in an office setting be an offense punishable by summary execution ... by badgers.

    Then you tied an onion to your belt, because that was the style in those days, and told them, "Give me five bees for a quarter," right?
