Dear Mars Incorporated: Starburst Division: Limited Edition Department:
I accidentally tried a new product of yours yesterday. Low blow. Was that sale worth it? I don't think so because you may have completely turned me off of Starburst forever. The packaging of your Limited Edition product is so similar to the Original Fruits packaging--in fact, it's the same except for a small additional stamping saying "Limited Edition Icy Bursts," that I didn't notice as I bought it. All I look for when I pick my Starburst out is the yellow packaging with the red Original Fruits label on the end. So there I was, getting ready for a hellish commute home from Orange County. I popped a pink Starburst into my mouth as I got on the 55. Mmm, good. Then....what the #%@$. If I wanted minty in the middle of fruity, I'd stuff an Altoid in a strawberry & call it a day. But you don't see mint-stuffed strawberries, do you? And why is that? Because it's silly, perhaps?! Or maybe it's because IT'S GROSS!! Do you know that my husband and I discussed this atrocity ALL THE WAY HOME? At least give me some warning - I'm a busy woman, I don't have time to read the fine print on my candy.
Also, I just visited your website & I found it extremely annoying. (Blog readers: check it out and let me know what you think - oh, and have your speakers on: Starburst website.) Why, Starburst, why? I think I'm going to have to stick with my good ol' Willy Wonka Nerds. The unmistakable pink and purple won't ever trick me.
Your formerly loyal customer,
Egg
