I’ve seen these ads both on TV and in print, and I’ve been to the website to register my guess.
The answer has not yet been given, but it seems pretty obvious to me that the candy belongs to Michelle Branch.
Does anyone disagree?
I’m not familiar enough with what you’re talking about to agree or disagree.
I’m just thinkin’ that such a fine thread title deserves at least one response.
Linkety-link might help in the response dept. 
Shoot. And here I thought they had a new flavor…
Thanks for the vote of confidence, John Carter of Mars. And apologies to anyone who thought the thread title was another way of saying “barking spider.”
Here’s more of what I speak:
If it’s not Michelle Branch, I’ll eat… a Starburst.
No way I can tell from that angle. If she’d drop them drawers just a little more, Michelle’s got this mole…
No other ideas?
I saw the commercialy yesterday and I said aloud “I think it’s Michelle Branch.”
So count me in.
Oh yes, that is most definitely Meech. When you go to enter your guess on the site, it gives you a hint before you pick - “Besides Starburst, she also wears 4 tattoos!” Michelle has a little blue tattoo of an eighth note on her left shoulder, a black and red nautical star on the back of her neck, a star of some sort (haven’t seen it) on one of her ankles/feet, and I think a star on her hip somewhere. So yeah, that’s Michelle Branch. Plus, that’s just… her ass. (Can you tell I’m a leeeetle obsessed with the girl? I just want her life.)
Band name!
Actually, it sounds more like a 1960’s era board game.
“Mystery Ass! The new board game from Milton-Bradley.”
“Oh, no! I got Mel the Plumber.”
“Ooh, Frederick. He’s sooo dreamy.”
What a thread title! Made me look, that’s for sure. I immediately thought of “Breakfast of Champions,” by Kurt Vonnegut. Those who’ve read it will know what I’m talking about, although it’d be easy to guess.
O.J. Simpson.
The giveaway for me was the exposed bra straps, a disgusting fashion trend modeled by Ms. Branch in her latest video. Blah.
Or a 1920s style d…oh never mind.
Prior to the link, I thought the thread title was referring to the mystery flavor they had a while back and you thought it tasted like “ass”.
Hey, we’re right!

p.s. I remember eating one of those mystery flavored ones a while back. I only ate one and threw the rest away because it did taste like “ass”.
I always thought the pink strawberry-banana ones looked like… well… pink.
You know… the Larry Flynt kinda pink.
Too bad they don’t taste lik…
Oh, never mind.
“Starburst Mystery Ass” sounds like an exotic disease.
