Starburst vs. Skittles

[owls84]

Ok just to prove JBD wrong, which is better, Starbursts or Skittles. Keep in mind I like Starbursts.

By the way you must choose one. It will be public so whoever chooses skittles will be banned. No but really choose just one. I will allow JBD a rebuttle.

 

[JBD]

In rubuttal I must point out that Josh is going for the imported stuff not the Texas stuff so he is a disadvantage immediately.

Skittles are the Brain Child of a woman who invented them while attending the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). They are, therefore, not only TEXAN they are TARRANT COUNTY's own candy and all the imports are defiinately at least 3rd place.

(Second place being forever and always Pangburn Millionaires which originated in Fort Worth TEXAS and were produced at the Pangburn factory about 2 miles north of the Temple as the crow files.)

LET THE VOTING BEGIN

 

[JBD]

Josh you really do need to change the Skittles wording - but since you have the inferior candy position I guess you need all the advantages you can muuster

 

[owls84]

LOL Good stuff.

 

[JBD]

Not to put any pressure on ya or nothin but if you arent for Skittles today you may indicate a propensity to all things Oklahoman or Dallas or worse yet HOUSTON.

The next thing you are going to tell me is you dont eat Mama's Pizza (another Ft Worth original - right down the road from the Home and School) or Kincaids for burgers. You might be one of them liberals and eat bait (sushi) and Mexican food from a Chain restaurant versus Fiesta or Joe T's or his Mama's place Esperanza.

You have me very concerned about your stability my brother :biggrin:

Starburst ALL THE WAY!

 

[TCShelton]

I voted for JBD just because this is hands down the dumbest topic I have ever seen on any forum, and someone who could create this thread shouldn't even win in a worthless poll.:beer:

 

[scottmh59]

+1 (the shelton)

 

[rhitland]

Moderator staus? It's just been revoked and by the way these are kids candy try something adult like chico sticks or liquorise. lol

 

[Wingnut]

can I vote for Dr Pepper?

 

[TCShelton]

can I vote for Dr Pepper?

Might as well.:beer:

 

[JBD]

I didn't know that was an option - Oh wait I vote DP and Skittles!

No wait again - make that Skittles with a DP chaser - there we go - we will call it an Up All Night

 

[Wingnut]

Up All Night? with Ronda?

 

[Brent Heilman]

I'll take Starburst any day over Skittles, but as was said earlier I'm from Oklahoma.

 

[Michaelstedman81]

Ah, the Skittles have it so far!!!! Funny thing is, I really didn't like Skittles too much till I was in Iraq...lol When I was there, I couldn't get enough of them. Now that I am back in the states, it is a treat that my daughter and I can enjoy together...lol And the Starbust issue has never come up between her and I...lol

 

[MikeMay]

Skittles, Starbursts...where's the love for M&M's?

 

[Michaelstedman81]

Got a good point there, Mike!! If that was up there, I would have voted for the M&M's. Someone needs to put up the poll for peanut or regular M&M's...lol

 

[Traveling Man]

Personally they’re both the same and products of the “S&M” Mars Company.

 

[Dave in Waco]

Personally, I like them both. And the are both produced in Texas at the Waco plant along with Snickers. Plus you've got to love M&M Mars since they are a huge sponser of youth sports. We were doing a tournament once and asked them for a donation for the consession stand. We were a bit disheartened that they would only give us 12 boxes. When we went to pick them up, we learned what they called a "box" most of us would call a case of 24 boxes of 144 bars each.

Now THAT, is truly awesome. I had no idea that they into sponsering youth sports that much. How good would it be if at least half of the companies like that were able to donate that much. That is a great suprise,though, to find out thier definition of box was totally different....haha
