How to eat a starburst...

First; look through the bag of the nearest foreginer while she is working, once found scream OUI or Yes to signal you did indeed find candy then open the newly found candy.





After successifuly taking the candy off the wrapper, place it in your mouth. and chew very carfully.



Then act sad because more of the candy got stuck to the wrapper than made it into your mouth, but then you make the descisions to stick the whole wrapper in your mouth to fully apprieciate the taste. Just make sure you dont actually eat the wrapper........





*The model in this is Appo, a classic cheeser!!
