any researcher may answer who participated in this granny experiment:

well, today's little annoyance du jour is that granny was settling
down to her usual bag of Starburst sour candy that helps with
her saliva production.  lo and behold, the Mars Candy Company has done
the 'ol switcharoo.

granny wanted the sour kind -- the ones with green apple, strawberry,
lemon etc. and she got tropical fruit with kiwi, watermelon, mango. 
yuk, these things are *nasty*!  this is not granny's mistake as you
can plainly see from this website:

the "original" version comes in a yellow package; "tropical" comes in
a green one.  well, granny's "tropical" came in a *yellow* package so
she was obviously duped.

I called the Mars Candy Hotline at 1-800-551-0683 and the kind lady is
going to send me some cents-off coupons.  whooptydangdangdoo. 
granny's still pissed.  do you think this is a bait-and-switch ploy or
a product packaging snafu?  how often does this kind of thing happen?

Mars candy buyers beware!
