The change made sense. There's little or nothing 'opal' about them- they're not translucent and they're uniformly square. Whilst there are no stars, let alone starbursts, in 'Starburst', it does kind of fit as a metaphor for the explosion of taste in your mouth and they're bright.
I read they were originally M&M's Fruit Chewies in the USA, theyre nothing like M&Ms! However the Opal Fruits name is being brought back over here, for how long I'm not sure.
A dick move, because Ross was such a dick. My favourite Friends character...but still a dick(I feel I may have said dick more than necessary, damn I said it again) 😆
Skittles are also from the uk. Basically skittles contain little round pieces of starburst (formerly opal fruits) covered in a corresponding coloured sugar shell coating.
"You're taking the best two flavors in the world, peanut butter and chocolate, and putting them together so that's a delight." So, Schwimmer loves himself some Reese's peanut butter cups and not the Cadbury? Always liked Reese's but always preferred other types of chocolate, although it is a sold candy.

British guy here, the UK certainly _did_ have a reputation for poor food, especially by European standards. To be honest, looking back at what was common food in the 80s, we kind of deserved that reputation. It's not really true any more, you can get pretty good grub here now. We still have a bit of a propensity for boiling vegetables too often though.
It's not a reunion in the sense of a new episode though is it? I thought it was going to be more of a chat show format where the 6 of them reminisce about the show.
Nope am nae having it. how can any one no like the bru. Old recipe was the best hands down new one is just nae the same but have tae drink it as no choice part fay at bottles they took oot and that was like the original.
I’m American and Cadbury wins over any of our chocolate any day 😂😂 Irn Bru is amazing 😍 Also, I was today years old when I found out that Starburst weren’t American lmao
Starburst, Kit-Kat, Twix and Skittles all were from the UK originally. Anything Mars brand makes sense though because they had separate UK and US companies for a while.
@@Swannimal starburst where made in england 1959 and were called opal fruits and where them brought to th united states in 1967 and the name was changed to starbursts
Irn Bru rocks. I actually stay in the same town as the Irn Bru factory just outside Glasgow it's in Westfeild Cumbernauld right by the M80 can't miss its the building that says Barrs on it.
Irn Bru was ruined last year as they reduced the sugar!! It's rank now! Also, if you're wondering how to describe the taste it's like someone took metal shavings and put them in sugary water.
I was wanting to try a Twinkie for years after seeing them in films, I got some when they started selling them in the U.K. and it was the most underwhelming thing I've ever experienced, nasty things.
You kinda need to be in third or fourth grade and have just finished a peanut butter and jelly sandwich at school, to truly appreciate a twinkie. Plus they were better back when they were slightly bigger.
Starbursts are from the UK 1960, USA 1967. Previously known in the UK as Opal Fruits. Remember Marathons in the UK, now known as Snickers, also from the USA.
Star bursts were opal fruits in the UK originally, but have always been star bursts in the US. They changed the name of them here to keep in line with them and save money on branding...same as Snickers bars were originally marathon bars here and had the name changed for the same reasons.
Starburst was invented around the year 1960, in the United Kingdom. According to some rumors, a man named Peter Pfeffer made the originally named version of starburst for the first time in 1961, (with other claims that it was in 1960 or 1959). However, he called the candies Opal Fruits back then.
I love irn bru so much that might be because im scottish (jot saying every scottish person likes it tho ) and i haved it since i can remember it was really sad when the changed recipe lol ❤😆
Had no clue that Starburst was a UK-originated snack. I’m not one for candy usually but Starbursts are phenomenal!!! Always gotta take some when offered
Starbursts started in the UK as opal fruits in the 60s ,got released the USA a year later as m&ms fruit chews and then changed the name to Starbursts in the late 60s sodavid would have had them as a kid .they changed the UK name to Starbursts in 98 to bring it in line with other countries.
Starburst, or Opal Fruits for the educated, are an American owned British sweet. The Wrigley Company owned by Mars, introduced them in 1960 to the UK, 1967 in the USA.
Starburst is *Wrigley*. Subsidiary of Mars. Wrigley founded in Chicago. Mars founded in Tacoma. Edit. Ok, apparently there was a contest where a guy named Peter Phillips invented them and submitted them to Mars... who did *first* market them in the U.K. So you can make a case... but that's really kind of sneaky. Especially since the recipe has probably changed and it's distributed solely by an American company.
He’s my favourite friend’s character! When I went to LA the coach guide said he was the most ignorant person he has ever met and he has met some big stars😖 I just can’t believe that 😪
Chloe IsTiny Ross was by far the best friends character and I don’t care who in the world disagrees with me they won’t change my mind. Let’s just hope David was having an off day when he met that coach. He just doesn’t seem like a guy who would be really ignorant

Watch the other videos.. UK wins most the time with the other nation agreeing on some foods.
Salty because UK won? We can’t help that we have decent snacks ;) though we have some horrible ones to.
Doesnt help that these guys seem to have a fetish for Twiglets and Jalapeno pretzels, and theyre both awful.
It literally means nothing. It's just for a laugh.
They didn't even taste the first candy, they just picked what they had eaten.
Starburst was called Opal fruits in the UK. The advert on the tv went something like: Opal fruits made to make your mouth water...
*M o i s t M a k e r*
I remember the adverts because I'm old and crusty af, but they changed the name to Starburst before the millennium I think...
