Turns out there’s only a fifty percent difference. I didn’t understand the difference between Fruit & Creme and Berries and Creme. I was kind of confused when I was buying my array of Starbursts for this series. But I like the clean taste of the original fruits.

The strawberries and creme didn’t taste like a regular strawberry, so kudos for originality. On the whole the new flavors actually tasted new to me. It tastes like mixed berries that are a little tart and a little creamy. Mixed Berries & Creme - reminds me of yoplait. Raspberries & Creme - I’m not sure what this is, it doesn’t really taste like raspberry but it was niceīlueberries & Creme - this tasted like blue scented magic markers. Strawberries & Creme - reminds me of strawberry yoplait. While many companies are going with “smoothie” flavors (Skittles & Necco Wafers) for some reason Starburst decided we needed creme flavors in our Starburst. Starburst Berries & Creme - as with all the Starburst packages, this contains four flavors. Starburst started expanding its flavors many years ago and now has a rather large family. I eat Take 5 bars even though they had a wretched ad campaign last year that definitely wasn’t speaking to me. It’s fruity! It’s a chew! There’s real fruit juice in there! Now they focus on the experience and the kind of hip person (or tragically unhip) eats them. The older Starburst commercials were rather traditional - selling Starburst on its description and merits. Not “Freshmaker” odd, really really odd on purpose. Let me just start by saying that Starburst has some of the oddest commercials.
