An aerated gummy candy, it features an inflated texture that results in a bouncy gummy that contains the traditional Starburst flavors.

“Starburst is delivering better moments and more smiles to gummi fans with our next generation aerated gummies — Starburst Airs,” Justin Hollyn-Taub, senior director of US fruit snacks for Mars Wrigley said. “Starburst Airs are reimagined gummies that will leave candy-lovers enamored with the combination of Starburst flavors in a pillow-like texture.”
