The lolly bowl at your family barbecue just got a whole lot sadder because TikTok has helped uncover a devastating truth. It turns out Starburst was quietly discontinued in Australia. I know, I know: lay out your lolly wrappers in loving memory.
Aussie TikToker and bonafide investigative journalist Nariman Dein posted a TikTok earlier this week positing a conspiracy theory that Starburst had been discontinued.
“Can someone tell me where these lollies went?” Dein said.
“I’ve been looking for them everywhere in Australia… Big W, Coles, whatever.
“These lollies don’t exist.”
She then questioned whether the lollies’ existence was a “Mandela effect”.
“I’m having some conspiracy theory like, did they just stop selling them and no one noticed?” she said.
