...

They could have at least put a green Optimus head for the flavor on the package... Or did they not sign up to shill for the movie, and are now trying to cash in on a trademark loophole of some sort?

Starburst, as my sister would say, you FAIL at bandwagons.

Putting the pictures in the News Story might be a good idea.
Nevermind, they are up now. Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for the pictures!

I'm with you, I was expecting a little more bang for this possible buck!

Well take that Corporate America, now I'm keeping it!

I'm kidding myself if I say I won't buy at least one pack...

They used to have lime Starburst when they were called Opal Fruit.

So horribly lame....

But where are the flames? It cannot be Optimus without flames!

I was thinking 'trailer' instead of 'flames.'

Is this a limited/special flavour, or just a renaming of a regular one? Alone, the joke is pointless, but if they had a bag of different TF-named candies, it would make a lot more sense.

eww

The contest is about cell phones. Maybe the flavor is named after the Optimus electronics brand? (I have an Optimus VCR).

that sucks.

I will control myself and restrain myself from saying half what is running through my mind right now. All I will say is: I am not surprised. That and they at least could have given the (insert favorite profanity here) bubblegum the shape of Optimus! >_<
