Internet exclusive: The many flavors of Nerds.
Before I get started, I want to confirm that I am in fact an adult. It's just that this information doesn't appear anywhere else on the internet, and I feel the responsible, adult thing to do is let people know all the facts.I purchased a box of Rainbow Nerds candy, but as I and my coworkers consumed them, we found we couldn't agree on the flavors. We did the responsible thing and searched the internets, but without luck: the internet does not have a comprehensive catalogue of Nerds flavors. Frankly, I was astonished, but after I recovered, I did the responsible thing and contacted the authorities. Here is their response:
Thank you for contacting Nestlé. We welcome questions and comments from our consumers.I believe this information is an internet exclusive, but I challenge you to prove me wrong. Otherwise, I'm proud to be improving the internet one fact at a time.
The flavors of Nerds are as follows:
Strawberry = Pink
Watermelon = Green
Grape = Purple
Cherry Lemonade = Dark yellow
Punch = White
Blueberry = Blue
Lemonade = Yellow
Peach = Orange
Wildberry = Teal
Apple/Watermelon = Red
Orange = Orange
We appreciate your interest in our products and hope you'll visit our website often for latest information on Nestlé products and promotions.

it's odd that the red is the double-dipped flavor, but the yellow isn't as yellow is the other double-dipped colour (for lemonade and cherry i think).
i think punch is my least favourite.
can you buy custom mixes of nerds like you can with m&ms?
after seeing the flavors, i'm even more convinced that this is an exclusive. before i was only searching randomly so it wasn't that surprising that i couldn't find anything, but now i've searched with those flavors and colors and still haven't found anything.
