How come they don't sell grape flavored Starbursts anymore?

Grape-flavored Now-and-Laters, perhaps?

Now and Laters

That's awfully far from celery, isn't it? I'm going to say jelly beans for the texture and flavor, but just for the flavor, I like the grape-flavored Nerds.

And on a side note, it made me laugh that this post was filed under "Sociology".

I don't think I've received Starburst-levels of pleasure from Now and Laters, but maybe I should give them a try again.

Regarding the subject classification: Sociology seemed like the closest. As you can see by going through the archives by category, Sociology is somewhat of a catchall.

Also, the local supermarkets haven't been doing too well with the organic celery lately. Today I've been reduced to carrots and green peppers.

Morinaga Hi-chew Mango Candy. Sure, it's not grape, but once you try them there is no going back.

On a different note, I'd be curious of your opinions on this: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Business/Story?id=6977202

Improper ecological inference?

How about grape flavored Laffy Taffy? Yum...and the silly jokes.

Never liked the grap Starburst.

This is rightly called sociology. It's a neat example of a discussion based on information private within a society and unintelligible outside. Of course, most academic discussions are exactly similar in that respect and this is not a complaint, just a comment.

I'd guess you are talking about varieties of what (I guess again) the participants might call candy, but otherwise all the allusions are utterly elusive.

Perhaps some threads should be flagged U.S. residents only....

Grape flavored skittles... not quite on texture.... but taste, yes. Actually for taste, how about Dimetap?

I see this blatant discrimination towards Grape Starbursts as yet another manifestation of the structural contradictions of capital. Clearly the greedy managers at Starburst have decided to cut costs by lowering labor costs, relaxing environmental regulations, and now by excluding those flavors that are not seen as good enough, or that are somehow culturally inferior compared to Lemon or Cherry (which as you know have come to be the benchmark against which all other flavors are compared). Orwell eluded to this in Animal Farm when he quipped “All Animals are Equal, but some Animals are More Equal than Others.” Need I say more? Sorry Grape, but I think the message is loud and clear: you are just another inferior flavor doomed to the same fate as black liquorices.
