    It’s no secret that we frequently enjoy Starbursts here at BrightMix. In fact, in recognition of our addiction to Starbursts, Andy made the RSS icon for this blog a Starburst. Pretty swanky.

    Now that everyone understands how important Starbursts are to our operation here. I will now tell you the most egregious story of a terrible joke that was played on me.

    So, I was meandering around Allyn/Robert’s desks and I spotted some Starbursts on the table behind them.

    Given that I hadn’t had a Starburst in probably 3 minutes, my desire for a deliciously colorful Starburst was quite high. So, what did I do? I grabbed a few of them.

    Look Strange? They seemed lighter than normal. Upon further investigation, they were empty Starburst wrappers that had been meticulously reformed to look as though they still contained Starbursts!

    I had been fooled. Hardcore fooled. I was also getting laughed at… for like 5 minutes straight by the interns. Robert, the mastermind behind the prank, laughed for 10 minutes.

    Well done, guys, you win… this time. You better watch your backs, though - you just started a dangerous game ;)

    The pink ones are the best - mmm… strawberry. I must be honest and admit that I am not addicted to Starbursts - or any other hard-mainly-sugar candy. But I could eat chocolates, caramels, toffees, & food-like candy all day long. Somehow add coffee into that mixture, and I’ll be your instant friend. It won’t be long and I’ll have to spray Pam on my chair to get into it.
