Opal Fruits (or Starburst to you heathens) (1 Viewer)

[Evil Lizzie]

The other day wils wating for a train I purchased a packet of opal fruits from a vending machine. As I crammed sweet after sweet into my salavating maw I noticed tha lack of yellow semi-cubes in my bag - further inspection turned up no yellow ones at all!!! A quick inspection of the ingridents and product info on the back also contained no trace of teh elusive lemony sweeties! Wher'd they go? I always thought the strapline was Strawberry, orange, Lemon and lime

we should all write letters of complaint - and have them change the name back!! it worked with kellogs after the whole coco pops debacle and the marshmallow bits in the riceicles dilemma!!

This is my bitter letter...a request, to you: Why don't you get another user name/ avatar?

 

[Evil Lizzie]

cos i couldn't be arsed.

I dont pander to the whims of coprophagists such as yourself.

 

[oh shit]

purple tastes nicer than yellow. down with green!

I beg to differ. I had a yellow one on Saturday.

how was it?

 

[krystal]

nice! I always discard the purple and red ones and just eat the citrus flavoured ones. Spake o which, tropical skittles are the business.

We should set up some kind of exchange programme. I really don't like yellow or orange in Opals or Fruit Gums. Love love love them red black and greens. Unfortunately so does all my family so Christmas can get a bit rowdy around selection -bocks time.

it's like when you get a box o roses and everyone eats them all, except for those gross little barrel ones. But yes, erasmus programme for citrus / berry flavoured sweeties should be arranged. I shall keep all mine in a sweaty plastic bag which I will leave on my desk in the office, 'neath the lights and beside the fan heater and next time I see you, I will hand them over! Delicious.

I wonder if they will do a line of extra large opal fruits/starburst like Quality Street (or was it Roses) did with 'the purple ones'. So if you like yellow ones you can buy one massive yellow one.

Pass 'em on over. I think they're lovely. For Cadbury, that is.

the barrels are class! Its the other things your hinking of, yeh know, the horrible ones. Yeh, those ones...

 

[krystal]

we can but ask.

actually I was baffled by those large purple ones. They're another that always languishes at the bottom of the McDermott family Roses tin, until someones greed overtakes their apathy towards purple wrapped roses.

I really must start including the message I am replying to.

I despair.

Your family must be the polar opposite to ours. WHATS WRONG WITH CARAMEL, HAH? HAH?

i'm not angry at lime, haggy, i'm angry at GREEN. let's not pretend opal fruits bear any relation to actual fruit.
