Advantages: nice combinaiton of flavours

Disadvantages: do not have equal distribution of flavours in bag

I have always wanted to try Starburst Choozers since it first appeared last year. As Tesco is currently offering the sweets at £1.00 for a 160g bag instead of the usual £1.37, I decided to give it a try.

I like the original Starburst chewy sweets, the individually wrapped sweets have a nice fruit flavour and the chewiness is very addictive. I could finish a whole tube of starburst sweets within minutes. Starburst Choozers is quite similar to the original version except that each sweet is filled with fruit flavoured liquid that is supposed to ooze out as you chew on the sweet.

Starburst Choozers in the bag is individually wrapped and the oval shaped sweets is much firmer than the original starburst chews. However, as you chew on the choozers, it gets chewier especially when the fruit flavoured liquid contained within the sweet flows out and blend with the rest of the sweet. The flavours combinations are Orange and Mango, Raspberry and Orange, Pineapple and Orange. The other ingredients include: Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Invert Sugar, Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat, fruit Juices (3.7%) (Orange, Pineapple, Raspberry, Mango), Acidity Regulators (E296, E330, E331, E337, E451), Dextrin, Flavourings, Modified Starch, Maltodextrin, Gelling Agent (Pectin), Colours (E160a, E122, E104).

I do like Starburst Choozers, it is as addictive as the original Starburst. The only disappointment is the pack does not contain equal number of flavours. There were only 4 pineapple and orange, 8 orange and mango and lots of raspberry and orange. I also wonder if there is any unfavourable effect from the E numbers contained in the sweet.

In conclusion, though I like Starburst Choozers, the original Starburst will still be my favourite sweet.

Summary: Still prefer the original Starburst though!
