Mik 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 It seems like everytime I go to the grocery store, I am suckered into getting some Starburst from the checkout aisle. If they have the fruit and creme, it's a definite purchase. Otherwise, I usually just go with original. The real question is...is there love from the smartmarks for the greatest checkout aisle product in the grocery store? And if not, what is the greatest thing to pick up in the checkout aisle? Inquiring minds want to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfaJack 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 I don't know if Starburst are the best checkout line impulse item available or not, but they are pretty damn good. Original fruits are where it's at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garth 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 Opal fruits is what Starburst was traditionally known as in the UK up until about '98 I think. I for one always hated the change over in name. Starburst just dosen't sound right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2005 I like the new Starburst fruit n'cream, with orange cream, raspberry cream, peach cream and strawberry cream. Mmm... California fruit is pretty good too, especially the melon flavor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2005 Starburst is an oldschool favorite. My new impulse buy is the new Take 5 candy bar. Good stuff. Take 5s are awesome, bought a box of 24 of those for under $7. But after a dozen or so, enough is enough. But my favorite impulse buy is some Extra gum.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2005 For those Take 5 fans, I wouldnt get attatched to them. My Wal Mart had a huge bin of them selling for $.25 and no one was touching them. Personally, I dont like them because its trying to throw too much stuff in a candy bar...Chocolate, Peanuts, Peanut Butter, Pretzels and Carmel..If you are going for that much stuff, you might as well go all the way and add nougat, crispies (rice like in a Nestle's crunch bar), candy bits, raisins, and coat it in layers of white and dark chocolate and then a candy shell on the outside. Call it the All in One Bar..or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
