Have you tried these yet?? They're a wicked combination of sweet and heat. One of the flavors is watermelon pepper. They're a disturbing combination of tastes that I really wanted to try. But I didn't want to buy an entire bag, eat one or two, and then throw the bag out. Or even worse, buy a bag and then eat the entire thing. So, I bought a bag and took it to work.
We had a great time. Everyone tried one of each flavor, and then we went on about our business. Someone put the candy in the jar by the coffee pot. And we promptly forgot about it.
Enter Anna, who was off the day that we brought in the Starbursts. She grabbed a handful, put one in her mouth, and after a minute started screaming "What is wrong with these things? Why is my mouth on fire? What is happening?"
We told her.
We apologized profusely.
She complained some more.
She drank a lot of water and then complained some more.
10 minutes later, she was back by the coffee pot, digging in the candy jar. "Well now that I know what the pink one tastes like, I need to see what the yellow one tastes like..."
It's human nature. It makes you wonder how we've managed to survive for this long, doesn't it?
