Opal Fruits' Sweet Return

Starburst's British Predecessor Makes a Temporary Comeback

12-Week Revival of Original Flavors

Get ready for a nostalgic blast from the past! Starburst, the beloved fruit-flavored candy, is temporarily reverting to its original name: Opal Fruits.

For 12 glorious weeks, candy lovers in the UK will be able to indulge in the four classic flavors that graced the sweet treats back in 1959: strawberry, orange, lemon, and lime.

Opal Fruits, manufactured by Wrigley's, first hit British shelves in the 1960s. In 1998, the brand underwent a name change in the United States, becoming Starburst as we know it today. However, it remained Opal Fruits in the UK until 2008.

This limited-time revival of Opal Fruits marks a sweet journey back in time. With its iconic box-shaped candies and the return of those original flavors, Opal Fruits will undoubtedly evoke childhood memories and bring smiles to faces.
