As a candy enthusiast, historian and collector, I love finding unusual product or flavor extensions of candy brands I already know well. There’s just something especially compelling about that familiar logo matched up with unfamiliar elements that makes up a new brand extension – it’s fun! Sometimes those extensions can take the form of a particularly jarring oddity and other times they can make perfect sense. Today’s post covers a great example of the latter as it seems to be a natural evolution for the Starburst brand name to cover a family of fruit-flavored gummies. And that’s just what’s being done Down Under in the Australian (and New Zealand) markets. So make the jump to check out Australia’s Starburst Gummies!
Before I begin, I’d like to shout out and thank fellow collector and New Zealand native Steve Williams. Steve’s been a great friend to CollectingCandy.com and over the years has provided me with so many treats you can only find in the New Zealand and Australian territories.

While the Starburst brand in the United States is typically relegated to its original fruit chew format, it has also become a successful seasonal jelly bean item. But to my knowledge, we’ve never had a Starburst-branded gummi here. It’s nearly the opposite in Australia, where you can find a solid lineup of colorful and fanciful Starburst gummies for sale. The first time I encountered them was just a few years ago, in the form of “Starburst Snakes”:

Not long after I added that first Snakes piece to my collection, Starburst Gummies packaging got a bit of a facelift as well as an expansion into other shapes and themes. I’ve managed to pick up most of what’s followed from the line and I’m excited to share them today.

And now take a look at some of the other gummi shapes they’ve released under the Starburst umbrella. This Animal Friends package is great as it includes some wildlife trivia on the back of the pack:

Of course, Australia still shows their love of the original individually-wrapped Starburst fruit chew, though they’ve released flavor assortments of them with packaging in line with their gummies:

That’s everything I’ve got to share on Australia’s Starburst Gummies (and more!). I hope this is a line that continues to be successful Down Under and that it leads to many more fun shapes and extensions along the way. It’s definitely a fun one to collect and if it continues, with luck I’ll be back to cover it again.
See you next time!
A bit of luck will give you fame in Snakes and Ladders!
- Snakes and Ladders is a luck based board game with the aim to advance from the lowest square to the highest square by climbing ladders and avoiding snakes.
- The board of Snakes and Ladders is a grid of squares, often 10 by 10, and the head and tail of snakes and the top and bottom of ladders that are typically pictured on the board, touch two separate squares per object.
- The number of squares, ladders, and snakes, as well as their positions on the game board, each vary across different Snakes and Ladders boards, however the game is usually played with a dice or spinner, and a playing piece per person.
- Landing on a snake head in Snakes and Ladders will usually cause the player to move to the respective snake tail, while landing at the base of a ladder will allow the player to move their piece to the top of the ladder.
- There are numerous versions of the Snakes and Ladders game, featuring other objects to fall or slide down, or climb up, and the game is also known as ‘Chutes and Ladders’, particularly in America, where snakes were replaced with slides.
- Snakes and Ladders is derived from an Ancient Indian Hindu game that was possibly played as early as the 100s BC, where the game was used to illustrate the good and bad deeds of life, and was called ‘Moksha Patamu’ or similar.
- The game of Snakes and Ladders generally features an equal or greater number of ladders than snakes, compared to the Indian game which had more snakes than ladders, and the ladders are or were, generally associated with a positive action and consequence, while the snakes were usually associated with negative actions and consequences.
- In the late 1800s, the Indian version of the Snakes and Ladders game was introduced to England, and it has been modified over the years to exclude moral or religious perspectives, though some versions have an educational purpose.
- Milton Bradley recreated the Snakes and Ladders game in 1943, which was popular in Europe at the time, to suit an American audience, renaming it ‘Chutes and Ladders’, with the theme of playground equipment.
- The player that moves first in the 100-square Milton Bradley version of Snakes and Ladders has a 50.9% chance of winning the game if two players are playing, while a game is completed, on average, after 48 turns.
