All Pink Starburst Packs Are Coming Because Dreams Do Come True

There are few things more soul-crushing than peeling open the top of a Starburst pack, only to reveal oranges or yellows, with a pink not showing up until candy 4 or 5. Don’t get me wrong, the lesser Starburst are fine… but if they were to go away suddenly, few people would mind.

Starburst has heard your silent cries, and will release All Pink packs. No yellows to skip over, no oranges to yell at, and no trying to decide if reds are actually the dominant Starburst [hint: they are not].

All Pink Starburst packs and large bags will be available for a limited time at Walmart, Target, Kroger, Walgreens, H-EB, Meijer and Amazon.

I got a very sweet #gift from @Starburst in the form of an ALL PINK PACK 😍😍😍 Thank you! pic.twitter.com/fDMWcgorE5

Christmas may have come and gone, but the yule log can burn all year. The Fireplace, by animator PES, rethinks the holiday loop, using candy corns and pretzel sticks.

Recently remastered in 4K, we now have an alternative to boring logs and actual fire. Candy!

Watching M&M’s Dissolve In Water Is Pretty Awesome

December 15, 2016 by Chris Durso Leave a Comment

M&M’s, the candy that supposedly ‘melts in your mouth and not in your hands,’ is put to the test… for science.

The Beauty of Science wanted to see what would happen if M&M’s were placed in water and filmed in 4K time-lapse. The result… watching the color slowly dissolve off M&M’s looks like something we’d see dramatized on an episode of Cosmos.
