...

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!

So horribly lame....

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

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

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

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! >_<

I belive they actually had a lime flavor in starbursts a very long time ago.

Not that I am showing my age or anything...
