	Trout: Vulture: The Archives: O
		'Opal Fruits' is the name of a popular fruit-flavoured chewy sweet that has been on sale in Great Britain for some years.
		Oranges were not and are not indigenous fruit: what fruit was available had to be imported from Britain's traditional enemies, France and Spain, and was therefore hard to come by.
		Exhorted from the pulpits and fired with indignant scorn of the effete, almost papist, monarch and his foreign fruit fixation, the people laboured mightily to flatten their vowels and at length the famous 'great vowel shift' was complete.

		Opal Fruits were made to make your mouth water.
		You would be sitting in a car, bored and depressed, and suddenly your dad would pass you an Opal Fruit and you would be miraculously transported to a Hawaian beach.
		Starburst Joosters are not simply Opal Fruits under a different name, for they are small and come in a bag where the true Opal Fruit is large, square and comes in a tube.

	Rebranding and Cultural Destruction
		The last packets of Opal Fruits sweets are disappearing from the shelves of British shops forever.
		Not because they have been discontinued, but because the manufacturers, Mars, have decided the sweets should be called the same name in Britain as they are in the rest of the world, Starburst.
		Opal Fruits is not the first famous British brand name that Mars has axed in favour of a more internationally better-known one.

	BBC News \| BUSINESS \| Global branding chews up Opal Fruits
		But why would a company throw away a brand name it has spent millions of pounds, and in the case of Opal Fruits nearly 40 years, to establish in the public's mind.
		Although Mars is spending £10m to publicise the Opal Fruits' name change it hopes to ultimately save money from uniting the sweets under the Starburst name.
		The Branding Manager of Opal Fruits, Steve Reid, says global branding is a natural consequence of the proliferation of international media such as satellite TV and the Internet.

	Are Starburst fruit chews (Opal Fruits) vegan in the UK? - The Vegan Forum - a vegan message board
		They used to be vegan for sure (they were in animal free shopper in 2000), but seem to have changed their ingrediants a few months ago.
		I've got a platter with Co-op fruit boiled sweets, Sainsbury value mints and Elizabeth Shaw mint and orange crisps ready to hand out, though so far we've only had one lot of trick or treaters (and I doubt there'll be any more) and the girls wouldn't take any sweets in case they "got fat"
		Every ingrediant and additive in them is vegan by rights, I can see no animal based or by product showing up after looking at my E for additives book, they are not so good as they are made with Hydro-Veg Fat but thats not the question.

	Starburst Joosters - Review - New Opal Fruits
		Just be careful when you open them they are very small balls and you would be find them for days if you dropped the bag.
		My next decision was Do I put them in colours, Do I eat them one by one, Do I mix the flavours to make my own fruit cocktail, Do I just grab them and put them in my mouth.
		They are really scrummy and they replace Opal Fruits but I dont remember Opal Fruits tasting this scrummy.

	Flumcake On-line: A Brief History of Flum
		The name Starburst is rather pathetic and, while it may appeal to young children, it is hardly going to appeal to the mature sweet buyer.
		The name summons up images of summer days and sweets that were specifically designe d to make your mouth water, as opposed to the ones that were made to make your mouth dry up and the short-lived sweet that was made to make your mouth urinate.
		Anyway, I propose that we start a campaign against the so-called Starburst and try and get the name Opal Fruits to be reinstated into it's rightful place.

		The Opal Fruit-isation of Ireland coincides with the birth of the Spar generation.
