Starburst Fruit Chews makes a sweet comeback at Woolworths!

When old favourites disappear from shelves, shoppers may feel certain emotions, especially if they are pantry staples.

The taste of nostalgia is back on the shelves at Woolworths, causing quite the stir among sweet tooths.


Starburst Fruit Chews—a beloved treat that disappeared from the Australian market—made a triumphant return, much to the delight of its dedicated fan base.

The lolly ceased production in June 2022, but thanks to social media's power and countless fans' voices, Woolworths brought back the fan-favourite for $5 for a 127g pack.

The buzz began when food content creator Ange shared a video that quickly went viral.

Ange excitedly urged followers to 'run, don't walk' to their nearest Woolworths to snag a packet of the resurrected treat.

The video sparked a wave of excitement as fans shared their joy and sightings of the lolly on Woolworths' shelves.


However, there's a bitter twist to this sweet tale.

The Starburst Fruit Chews that made their way back are not locally produced.

'We know some customers have missed having their favourite Starburst Fruit Chews. For a limited time, we're bringing in the UK-manufactured version,' a Woolworths spokesperson said.

While the taste may differ slightly due to regional variations in the recipe, the essence of the Starburst Fruit Chews remains the same.

Fans are encouraged to embrace this limited-time opportunity to indulge in the chewy, fruity goodness they missed.


Woolworths emphasised that the Starburst Fruit Chews are available for a limited time.

Customers can check its availability in their local store via the Woolworths website.

Visit the Woolworths website, check the stock at your local store, and prepare to enjoy a blast from the past.

Take advantage of this limited-time treat, whether you're sharing them with your grandchildren or keeping them all to yourself.
