i'm going to be blunt. i think it is very overrated (sorry if i hurt anyone's feelings). it used to be everyones favorite. the red didn't really have the burst of flavor like the pink did, but the red was still very good. it was more of an extended release of a very good flavor. but, in the end, it was the burst that caught everyone. you just couldn't love anything more than the pink starburst flavor.
then, i think starburst came out with a promotional commerical, which was mainly focused on the pink starburst. after that, everyone wanted the pink one. it was cool to like pink.
if you buy a starburst pack at the store, you better know the person/people you're with is/are going to ask you for at least one. for the past few years, it's been that just the pink is sacred. people are easy to give away the red now because they are just captured by the pink. red was expendable...
but after a while, i feel that since people kept giving away the reds, everyone just got sick of and bored of the pink. the red had a great flavor, orange was ok (i'll give it a 6.5), and the yellow was the worst. only a small percentage of people on earth enjoy that flavor the most.
red came back into the mix. people realized that they could get more bang for your taste (taken from more bang for your buck) with the red starburst. they could still have a great flavor, and it can now be stretched out for longer.
i was just going to say, "you know what they say, 'quality over quantity'" (i hope that makes sense) but that quote doesn't apply there. in this case, it is quantity over quality. it's the longer duration over the better flavor.
and that is why i think red is the best starburst.
