In A Stroke Of Genius, Starburst Announces It Is Releasing "All-Pink" Packs

USA TODAY- Starburst said Tuesday that it will release limited-edition packs of “All Pink” fruit chews, catering to fans’ devotion to the strawberry candies long expressed on social media and elsewhere. The all-pink packs, available in a single stick for $0.99 and a larger bag for $3.19, will be available in April for a limited time at retailers including Walmart, Target, Kroger, Walgreens, H-EB, Meijer and Amazon.

“While everyone has a favorite flavor or color of Starburst, pink has always risen to the top for our fans,” said Michelle Green, a spokesperson for Starburst. “From memes about relationships to sharing photos of excitement when getting a pink Starburst, over half of all references to Starburst on social media are about pink Starburst.” Starburst’s FaveReds, a mixture of red and pink chews, have been on the shelves since 2008. But part pink wasn’t enough, Green said. The people wanted all pink.

Look at Starburst going for the absolute throat with this move. I love it. Who says you have to eat the candy version of your vegetables? Fuck that shit. If I only want to eat pink Starbursts, I should only be given pink Starbursts. Life is too short and America is too full of freedom to eat flavors you don’t like. It’s the reason I seldom eat Skittles anymore. The Green Apple flavor completely overpowers everything else and picking out candy is for the birds.

Also shout out to RA for making the perfect RA joke about this glorious confectionary treat. Love that dude.

For the record, my Starburst rankings are:

1. Pink- The GOAT (obvi).

2. Red- It’s recently come to my attention that some people hate the fuck out of cherry. But I’ve been a fan plus I like that it’s softer than the other Starbursts.

3. Orange- Closer to red than most would like to admit. I used to wrap an orange around a red and call it a hot dog. This body wasn’t made without a little bit on ingenuity behind it.

4. Yellow- Hate yellow in basically every candy form. Haaaaaate them. The lemon Starburst is as meh as Starburst can get and yellows are always hard as rocks. I bet double yellows in fun size packs have ruined countless Halloweens.

By the way if we are in the truth tree, Favreds are overrated as fuck. Fruit Punch and Watermelon don’t deserve the same shine as the other two, especially pink.
