SKITTLES & STARBURST Candy Fun Size Variety Mix 31.9-Ounce Bag, 65 Pieces

Bought a package of this as Halloween candy to pass out to trick-or-treaters. The kids that came by my house loved it! Unfortunately, when calculating how much candy I was going to need, I forgot to factor in the fact that I absolutely love Skittles and Starbursts. So, as I should have known, at the end of the night this left me sitting at home on Halloween surrounded by Starburst wrappers and torn Skittles packets; like a lion surrounded by the carcasses of his prey. As I came to the sudden realization of what I had done to both my body and soul, a sense of panic set in as I realized that I had eaten almost all of the bowl of candy and wouldn’t have much to pass out to the remaining children (and sometimes adults, but that’s an entirely different issue) that came to my door looking for their treats. At that moment, as if the gods were sensing the panic emanating from my body, there was the all too familiar knock on my door, followed by a high-pitched “trick or treat” that could have only come from an absolutely adorable child who would probably cry if I didn’t have candy for her. As I attempted to roll off my couch (remember, I had a stomach full of Skittles and Starbursts) my mind raced as to what I would do should I run out of the remaining candy in my bowl. The few remaining pieces mercilessly mocked me from their hard ceramic resting place. My mind immediately turned to snacks I had hidden away in the kitchen… can one pass out small bags of chips or fruit snacks on Halloween? Is that considered poor form? Is a box of unmade Jell-O an appropriate treat? Would I forever be labeled the lame Halloween treat-giver, like so many toothbrush wielding dentists in the world? As I slowly opened the door, I was met with a sight truly terrifying; there were 3 children on my doorstep, each with their candy bag wide open. As my heart sank, I reached into my bowl and pulled out a single Skittles and Starbursts packet and swiftly thrust them into the awaiting sacks, hoping with all hope that the children would not pity me for giving so little. Thankfully the children, upon seeing Skittles and Starbursts in my hands, smiled with glee. In that moment we understood each other. They were happy to have such delicious candy, even if so few in number, and would not judge me for the trail of wrappers I had somehow tracked from the couch to the door. The kids smiled, said thank you, and then went on their merry way. As I closed my door, my panic returned. My candy reserves were now even lower and despite the situation in which I had found myself, I was still eyeing a Starburst package sitting in the bowl, begging for me to eat it. I peeked out my window. To my relief I did not see any children coming down the road. I checked the clock. It was 8:30 pm. While still a bit early, a sense of calm rushed over my body as I realized that I could safely call it a night. I flipped off my porch light and gave in to my animal urge and ate the remaining Starbursts in solitude and shame. I have since resolved that next year, I will buy two packages of this candy.

Decided for my last day I'd get the boys some treats as a thank you for being a good team, they were all very appreciative that I thought of them. I'll miss 'em, but a better job is a better job.

I have ordered this variety pack of Skittles & Starburst around 7 times now, and each times it has been a fairly even mix with exception of a time or two. The last pack I ordered was mostly Skittles, & the pack before that was mostly Starbursts, but the 5 other times I've ordered were all a nice even mix. The package says 65 pieces, not half and half, there's a machine that just spits the little packets into a bag and they come out at random so occasionally you're going to get a bag that has more of one item. Not a problem for me, as it's typically pretty accurate.The freshness & quality has always been good for me so far no issues there. Flavors been good, the starbursts also have been evenly mixed in terms of different flavors (Red, Pink, Orange, Yellow) although the last pack I ordered had a lot of Red & Links, which is totally fine by me as those are my favorite two flavors, but there were still orange and yellows in there, just much less on that particular order. Other than that it's always been a good variety.The value for this is really good, I would definitely recommend this pack of Starburst & Skittles if you like these candies as it's a great value for the money and a perfect little snack for at home or even in the go. They can be packed in with a lunch for a snack or you can just fill a candy jar with them as I do. I hope this helps with your decision, enjoy!

Yummy

Will purchase again!

Bag was too small, but my students really enjoyed the candy

Was a great buy had different candy to have options

My students love Skittles and Starbursts so I need to be able to buy them in bulk to reduce trips to the store. They always taste great and I save money buying in bulk and only getting the candy the kids really want.
