I think it's the orange ones that no one eats. No one normal, anyway.

I disagree.  Starburst--all fruit candies-- gain their deliciousness by virtue of their proximity to red.  Red is the most delicious.   Pink and orange are next in deliciousness.  Moving on, purple isn't bad, being a mix of red and blue.  Then blue is all right, because of its relationship to purple, which has a relationship to red.

Green and yellow are the least red-like or red-connected of the colors, and those are usually the worst tasting fruit candies.  (Except for green jolly ranchers, which are pretty good.)

I was telling my co-worker just yesterday that I thought Starbursts were nothing more than colored, softened candlewax fortified with artificially fruity flavorings. So disgusting. But I eat them anyway.

This is the correct and true ranking of Starbursts:

PINK
ORANGE
RED
YELLOW

Fact.

[Gilly]

Yellow
Orange
Pink
Red

and then....










Tropical...gross.

[Laurie]

Gilly, you're obviously nuts and don't know what you're talking about. Yellow is horrible.

[DoodleJump!]

yellow is horrible, i have to agree. yellow anything is bad. yellow skittles, too.  they have that metallic lemon taste that makes my gag.

Lemonade is yellow. And lemonade is pretty awesome.

You know, I don't think I've ever bought Starbursts in my life.
But if there's a big ole' bag of them at work, I can't stop tearing those little wrappers off!

[erika]

Starbursts:
PINK
YELLOW
RED
ORANGE

Skittles:
RED (I save all the red ones and then eat them in big handfulls)
YELLOW
GREEN
ORANGE

Never grape. They make my head feel funny.

I think lemon candy gets a bad rap.

[Mason]

Pink strawberry is where it's at. I'm man enough to admit it.

All the other flavors are merely tolerated.

[Martin]

Pardon the interruption!

Love Skittles, the red ones especially.

This casts new light on Laurie's aversion to eggs.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

  no one likes yellow Starbursts.

I always thought it was just me. Glad to know that this is a universal truth.

What's funny is that, while I also don't like yellow Starbursts, I do enjoy the taste of lemon fresh Joy.

I also want to call in about Jim Steinman, the lyricist for Meat Loaf.  I've actually been dying to share this thing I found with the boards because it is so, so great and hilarious and cringe-worthy, but I want to save it for a call.  It might get me GOMPed, as it borders on gross and Tom has evinced zero interest in Steinman as far as I know, but I feel as if his reaction to this might be classic. 

Fortune favors the bold!

Oh dear lord please throw any old show up for a podcast in the next ten minutes.

Pervert.
