2019 Starburst SCAM

[Reginald Fairfield]

I'm about a month late to this, but this seems to be a nation wide occurrence.
I am now genuinely curious to see if anything comes of this.

I got some starbursts in my Halloween candy this year. They weren't all pink, but most of them were.

 

[Sweetley]

Starburst aren't even a thing here where I live (at least I never saw them sold in any supermarket around my area), but I wouldn't mind getting only the pink ones...

 

[DubiousDelphine]

Wait that happened?! i havent had starbursts in a while.

 

[Snowesque]

I would not be pleased with that haha, what a weird occurrence.
My favorite flavor is cherry, watermelon likely being the least.

 

[Cress]

I got the exact same assortment bag with the Skittles, but I haven't had that much of it yet. Decided to open up one of the Starburst packs

Spoiler: And...

Guess I wasn't infected, no pink here.

people have been seeing a strange occurrence in their starburst packs; they're all PINK strawberry starburst. in the video reginald linked, chadtronic found almost all pink starburst chews in his assorted pack of starburst.

So they're all pink?

World crisis!

 

[Cheryll]

Pink is actually my least favorite flavor so it's pretty much >_>

What's happening?

 

[LambdaDelta]

I kept opening double red packs during halloween, while everyone else kept getting pink

World crisis!

And the response from the company on twitter was variations of "That is very lucky."

Our supermarkets stopped stocking them years ago due to poor sales, apparently.

maybe they're doing this so people would say something about it online, people online would find out, buy a pack, say something about it online, people online would find out, buy a pack, say something about it online, people online would find out, buy a pack... the cycle continues!!


probably not, but if it is.. then that's super smart.

 

[Bcat]

^Yeah, kind of feels like a marketing stunt. Especially since pink ones seem to be a fan favorite

quite a good theory

 

[John Wick]

Are there no black lollies?

 

[Flare]

Hmm this is pretty weird. Pinks for me are the rarest ones. I mostly find Yellows and Oranges.

Time to murder some people over the pink candies until the government does something about his.
