Slog - Comments on Disco Berry? Who Ever Heard of a Disco Berry? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/disco_berry_who_ever_heard_of_a_disco_be Have you noticed Starburst's new limited edition "Retro" flavors? What a weird fucking concept for candy. Each flavor is tied to a decade—Psychideli-melon (60s), Disco Berry (70s), Optimus Lime (80s), and Hey Mango-rena! (90s). I haven't been able to find a package of all the retros kinds yet, but the regular packs of Starbursts all feature one of the new flavors in them and today I got a sample of "Disco Berry." What the hell is a Disco Berry? What do berries have to do with Disco? What does Disco have to do with berries? Why, if the concept doesn't...

It goes great with white Bacardi.

I imagine you were probably a demographic they thought the product would appeal to. I suppose I am in a similar demographic too, and anyone that watches those VH1 retro "I love the.." shows. I'm not really into candy though, so I probably wouldn't have bought them. If they had some new line of retro branded microbrews, I might have been suckered in though.

Thank you, I'll be here all night.
