I know this is dumb but I'm eating Starburst right now and I just want to know y'all's opinion. My favorite's Cherry.

Sorry, never heard of them.

Fruit Chews, Sue.

And, I'm with Cherry as well.

Not a picture of the actual candy, but at least a pic of the packaging for our non-US members.

Probably similar to Opal Fruits then, huh, I am not permitted to eat sweets.

Yes.

The last packets of Opal Fruits sweets are disappearing from the shelves of British shops forever.

Not because they have been discontinued, but because the manufacturers, Mars, have decided the sweets should be called the same name in Britain as they are in the rest of the world, Starburst.

Opal Fruits is not the first famous British brand name that Mars has axed in favour of a more internationally better-known one.

Marathon became the less athletic-sounding Snickers a few years ago. The changes are part of a trend towards what has been called global branding.

Now what will they call the Mars Bar? No wonder the Starbursts packaging looked familiar, an Opal Fruit by any other name will taste as sweet. They will always be Opal Fruits to me.

A Mars is a Mars. No change there.

See here as well as the rest of the M&M Mars site.

No, no, no - Mars Bars do NOT have almonds in them! That is sacriledge.
