Fruit Stripe Gum is Back!!!



Holy crap!!! Fruit strip gum is back! I was driving down the highway when I saw a SEMI with this exact logo, colors and all, painted completely around the trailor. As you can probably imagine, this was indeed the most obnoxious semi to follow - of all time. First of all the sun was in my eyes, thats annoying enough. Second, i felt like a rainbow barfed all over the road and I had to look at it for like 25 minutes!!! I hate barf let alone brightly colored barf in the morning.


I remember getting multiple packs of fruit stripe gum when I was a kid. Not because I liked it so much that I wanted to have multiple packs, but because the flavor was gone after 4 full chew motions. After that it felt like you were chewing cardboard or shoes or something, which is probably why there was a whole semi full of it driving down the road.


Anyway, for any of you closet fruit stipe lovers - we have some left in IOWA.


P.S. Speaking of disappearing candy, has anyone seen Zotz lately?? They were my fav!

  4. Fruit Stripe gum was gone? I swear it's been under the counter at CVS.

  5. You know, due to the response that fruit stripe gum was never gone, I am going to assume that it never left and that I have just been ignoring its existence for the last... I don't know 10 years!
