A lot of people have been calling me crazy but I swear to god when I was younger you were able to buy all-pink starbursts packages. For some reason I can remember going to the Lil’ Peach up the street from my house and getting them from ages 7-10. Can anyone back me up on this? They sold all-pink packages, right? There used to be this red headed version of Mitch Hedberg working the counter. Guy was cool as fuck. I swear I fucking remember it. Maybe it was only in this particular Lil’ Peach…I don’t know…but I know I’m not crazy yet.
I know a guy once gave me a package of all pink ones though. He opened up several packages to make it. Last ditch effort to show how thoughtful he was after I broke up with him.
They did used to offer them this way though in “All Strawberry Packs” according to wiki but it seems to be only available in Europe so the rest of the world is SOL.
Sheila – a dude gave you all pink starbursts and you didn’t stay with him??????????
Do you think Saugus had a dealer the got those European packs?
Yeah I know I’m heartless. To be fair we were teenagers still and this was after a year of trying to date the guy with one-way communication and a lot of lies on his end. There were reasons!
I would imagine so, I’ve seen various shops with candy from overseas before even though it’s essentially the same products we get here. I’ve been searching all over though and cannot find packages of all pink starbursts now though. I’ll have to get some overseas friends on the hunt for me.
Lil Peach 100% had all pink starbursts, but only for a short window, then they were never seen from again, until they started forcing the faveREDs edition a few years back. That red head kid was a basketball player, I am suprised you didnt know him by name…
Dude you are thinking of the one of the O’Connel boys… this guy was a stoner…had a ponytail and was like 4 feet tall….
yeah, i remember those red ones …. but thanks for backing me up on the pinks i got people telling me so such thing
We had this convo one day…I’m with you. They existed! Either that or we had the same fat kid imagination.
Yeah – there were all-pink starbursts packs just like there were all-Great-White Shark Bites packs…
My mom used to get the all pink packs. Whenever she was on a diet she would watch what she ate all day then treat herself to a single pink starburst at the end of the day for a reward. I wish they still offered them, the pink ones are the absolute best.
Yes, this did exist. I was a huge candy fan growing up. A lot of ppl thought I was making this up “all pink pack” but I couldn’t
1980′s
expect the non candy fans to remember
Detroit, MI
They did have a all pink pack! I used to get one everyday on the way to school! From Miltons food Mart! In the Westend…Houston Tx…and they just stopped having them…and over time I thought it was just my imagination….until I see others Talkn bout it…thx for bringing back the good memorys…lol.
You are not crazy. I am 31 and they used to sell all pink strawberry packs and all of our local stores in Brooklyn , NY from the late 80′s to the late 90′s
