Here it is, folks, the collaboration between Starburst and Nike that we\u2019ve all been waiting for!<\/p>\n
Nah, it\u2019s actually just a new weird spin on Starburst flavored gummies.<\/p>\n
I guess I should just jump right into it \u2013 I think I hated these.<\/p>\n
\u201cHate\u201d is a strong word I try to avoid using, but these things stink.<\/p>\n
The entire \u201cair\u201d concept sold me on the spot. I anticipated a unique texture that landed somewhere between those gourmet confectionary marshmallows and gummy bears. I got that, but they were few and far between.<\/p>\n
They LOOK pillowy soft, but most of them had the bite of an expired peach ring. Not sure if this makes sense, but the texture was begging for a crystallized sugar coating. That\u2019s the only way that texture succeeds for me.<\/p>\n

For every piece I thought delivered on the name, there were five that were a chore to chew. Some were like Gummy Savers, and some had a dryness to them like the chewy Sea Turtles from Trader Joe\u2019s, which aren\u2019t great, but at least correctly have sugar. It\u2019s like they couldn\u2019t decide which texture to go with, so they just ran the gummy gamut.<\/p>\n
The \u201cbest\u201d pieces were similar to Haribo Watermelons, which are infinitely better.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t just the texture that threw me off.<\/p>\n
The gummies smell exactly like Starburst, but something about the over-chewing reduced the flavor by about 30-40 percent. These just don\u2019t have the Starburst pop I\u2019ve grown to love.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I know it\u2019s blasphemous to most, but I think Cherry is the worst main Starburst flavor by far, and it was awful here. Strawberry never fails, and I happen to really like the two citrus flavors. Lemon was probably the best, and it seemed to be the softest overall. No idea why, but finally, some justice for Lemon.<\/p>\n
Even the pieces I kinda liked that leaned closer to marshmallow were still weak in flavor and left a film on my teeth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t remember the last time I couldn\u2019t put a snack down simply because I wanted to like it. I was trying to will it, but they just never got there.<\/p>\n
Starburst has tried many different texture varieties (these, regular gummies, jelly beans, those straw things, etc.) and has never matched the originals. With that said, I think Airs are easily the worst Starburst candy product to date. Don\u2019t even bother.<\/p>\n
