Vegan Starburst

[San]

Has anyone tried the vegan Starburst on Pangea? I got some for my boyfriend for his birthday and he seems to really enjoy them. He said they are softer than the American Starburst, and one flavor is difference. I haven't tried any because I'm hypoglycemic so I avoid candy.

hehe, i was soooo excited when i was living in scotland because i could get these (and vegan skittles, too)! they're yummy except for the purple ones. they're that berry the brits always use instead of grape (ew, they put it in everything, too). i'm having a brain problem now and forget what fruit it is. can anybody help me out?

[penfold]

blackcurrant :)?

[karabear]

yes! thank you, that's the flavor i was looking for. they put blackcurrant in the starburst AND in the skittles. can anybody explain to me why they have blackcurrant in so many things in the uk, but we don't seem to have it in anything in the u.s.? do you all have a problem with grapes or something? :)

what kind of sugar do they use in the vegan starbursts and skittles?

[cin]

sheila: just white sugar but i guess it's not bone char processed.. at least that's what pangea says. hehe.

shade: ill send u some if u can hook me up with some more merry hempsters! im all out and pangea doesn't have it anymore! ahhhh!

[shade]

I definately can Cindy! :D I may even be able to throw in a few extra treats. We just got a new health food store here!

What kind of merry hempsters do you want?

they also have tube stuff of it available here now. So far the only kinds in vegan form that I've seen are vanilla and tangerine (I LOVE the tangerine :p) and the little metal containers of it are still around too.

I learned what the word 'currant' meant about a year ago thanks to UK Skittles and Starburst. :) :) :)
Before, I had only heard it used on TV. Something about currants in ears. I assumed it was a vegetable or a bean or something. Silly me.

oo cool.. tubes! lol. hmm tangerine sounds good.. are those merry hempsters too? maybe ill take one of each lol.. a mint tin & a tangerine tube? man i cant beleive pangea got rid of them! how cheap! i can never find them anywhere here. so how many skittles/starburst do you want?

[shade]

Will do! :) I may need to get your address again though, I think I lost it. E-mail it or PM it to me.
