It has to be Opal fruits, as they were made to make your mouth water!

Opal Fruits! 


Made to make your mouth water


Fresh with the tang of citrus


Five refreshing fruit flavours


Can't remember the last line - I know my friends and I used to joke that it should be 'Chewy, gooey Opal Fruits' but I think it was 'Juicy, chewy Opal Fruits'.


(Something like that anyway)

Opal Fruits and Marathon not Snickers. I don't think
global branding works on well established products
because the advertising's made to suit all countries
so it becomes bland.

I refuse to call them Starburst. I have switched to Snickers though now.


The most stupid one isn't a chocolate one - it was changing Jif to Cif!

I agree smurfy. I can't bring myself to call it Cif.

And oil of ulay to oil of olay. I still call it ulay!

Do you know why they wouldn't call it Oil of Ulay in America? Because they thought 'u-lay' sounded sexually suggestive! And this is supposed to be the most advanced nation on earth...

Of course, the flavours are different in the regular Starburst packs as well. Blackcurrant is a welcome addition.

So is it just me who doesn't like the blackcurrant ones then?


Immac changed its name to Veet and I still call it Immac (Veet is another of those odd words like Cif)


Eddie Izzard did a funny sketch on one of his DVDs about the change of name of Mr Dog to Caesar which was very funny. Well if you like Eddie Izzard's comedy you'd find it funny anyway.
