You know, it makes sense. They put a tootsie pop in a lollipop, they put a bubble gum (ill-advisedly) in a lollipop, why not put a starburst in a lollipop? There are so many other possibilities now that I think of it. Truffle-ization of lollipop. Anyway, these are actually made by Spangler, which is an interesting little company -- they make Dum Dums (top-8 free!) but also Neccos and Bit-O-Honeys (not nut-free at all). I guess the Starburst factory isn't set up to lolly pop.
The pop bit is good. Very bright green apple, tastes like a jolly rancher but sweeter and in a better shape (circle). There isn't an apple starburst, is there?? This is just a weird product, especially because it's a Halloween edition (bats on the packaging and all). Is green apple Halloweeny? Is it Starbursty? No and no! But it's a good flavor and fairly unique in the lolly landscape. The inside starburst bit was like, 1 millimeter around. Perhaps it melted due to all the peripheral sucking. It also had the texture of a now and later (FIRM) and not a starburst. Basically, nothing about this product is Starburst-related except the packaging. But it tastes good and is much better than a blow-pop. Probably on par with a tootsie pop, but more fun due to the novelty.
Overall
Cost: 6/10
Taste: 7/10
