Starburst candy memories... Starburst
was one of my favorite candies because they are small and you could
sneak eat them in class in school and the teacher would never know as
long as you didn't leave the paper in the floor. My dad didn't approve
of me eating them cause there were "gonna rot my teeth" according to
him but I still have em all and they in good shape too.
I had 3 packs of them one day
and I had to do something so I left them on the dinning room table.
When I came back there gone. I found out my brother was the one eating
them. I got sooo mad, but he bought me more the next day he just said
that they were so good he couldn't leave them alone. ~ Barbara from

As a teenager, my friends and
I used to go to the local movie theater most every weekend to see
the latest movie. After buying our movie tickets, we would proceed
directly to the concession stand to pick out some treats to consume
during the movie. I would always purchase a roll of Starburst. I
loved the chewy texture of the candy and the different fruity
flavors that were individually wrapped.
In the darkness of the movie
theater, I could not tell which Starburst flavor I was unwrapping
(because I could not see the color of the wrapper), and this made
eating the candy all the more fun because I would have to guess
which fruit flavor I was eating. All Starburst flavors tasted great.

I attended a large high
school (3,000) in California in the mid-1960's so I was entering the
unknown my first days of tenth grade. The cafeteria was a madhouse
but we had a canteen outside that sold snacks, chips, etc. You could
get in and out of the line at the canteen in minutes and then go
hang out with friends.
My dad always thought I was
getting a hot meal but I used my lunch money to buy chips, a package
of STARBURST (my favorite), and a coke. I survived high school on
chips, STARBURST, and coke! ~ Danna from Tennessee
