[simonsaladcream]

After the Union Carbide incident I remember graffitiing a poster to read "Bhopal Fruits, made to make your eyes water".

[brandybuck1984]

I miss the lemon and lime separates too!

[RedHeadVicky]

I miss the seperate lemon and lime Opal Fruits. Why oh why did they combine them!?

[Floobegusted]

@RedHeadVicky I compleatley agree with you.

[conorsmitheire]

Hmmm funny how i dont seem to remember this advert?!!

[RaTeeBoom]

Which twat decided to call them Starburst?

[lewisner]

@RaTeeBoom An American twat.

[Floobegusted]

Does anyone have the one with the fountain?

[murphy341]

Fuck starburst and all the other incessant changing of brand names. Opal Fruits till I die.

[rajaboy]

[Floobegusted]

Catchy.

[Lexii235]

[Floobegusted]

[TibetanTwo]

@Floobegusted Tropical... they were lovely!

[JonnyInfinite]

Opal Fruits > Starburst

[Spriggangirl]

@JonnyInfinite

Yeah, it always happens all the time with the name-changing.:)

[Stereolabdream]

Those early 90's fashions for bright colours really suited the opal fruits adverts!

[Luigi69]

Im the little kid on the roler skates!!! thats my first ever advert.... lol

[whysoserious1979]

theres to many starburst packets now i liked when it was like this

[rodsince1978]

i don't remember this advert at all, it's terrible!

[fadgegirl76]

that is more corny than the earlier advert. Opal fruits are now history but they were good. Starbust took them over

[DudeSimpson]

No, Starburst ARE Opal Fruits..name change

[fadgegirl76]

Maybe u r right

[DudeSimpson]

Well, I'm not a hundred percent sure. But I think so...just like Marathon is Snickers

[CooperLee]

Yeah, Opal Fruits became Starburst. Marathon became Snickers.  And Uncle Chuck's Arse Bar became Mars.

[DudeSimpson]

lol @ mars fail

[kingdaniel69]

Mate, that just carcked me up!

[Floobegusted]

@CooperLee I know what you mean I prefered it when Starburst was called Opal fruits, also they got rid of the separate lime flavour and the seperate lemon flavour I think they should have kept them seperate.

[landybob]

@CooperLee thats the best comment i ever read, ta

[Spriggangirl]

@fadgegirl76

Because in USA, Starburst was always the main candy in here and overseas.

Which I don't understand why.:|

[FabFM]

I still call them Opal Fruits, even though I haved move to the USA!

[oioiblondeboyslol]

they will ALWAYS be opal fruits, i hate the new starbursts!! x

[daancincurlz]

OMG my cousins are IN this advert!!!!!!! i cannot believe that it is on here that is soooo cool!! thanks for posting!!

=)

[rko8633]

Opal fruits are now back

[emmab2006]

god i remember this , opal fruits rocked , shud never had become starburst .. remember once boarding an Airtours intl Flight eating them lol ,

[flobbegusted]

I agree they were better when they were Opal fruits because now they have got rid of lemon and they have got rid of lime they should have kept them as they were though I do like the sours and the strawberry mix ones.

[MonkeyHunch]

@emmab2006 they still taste the same!! im eating a huge bag now! i cant stopp. mmmmmmmmmm
