RIP Fruit Stripe Gum

[Via Heeto]

It is the end of an era. Younger people in here may not care or even know what it is, but for older people like me, this is truly sad. This gum was absolutely delicious for less than 10 seconds before it lost all of its flavor. Sad to see all these things from our childhood slowly go away

Fuck me, what a day. Like you said, it was the most delicious thing ever, for a few seconds. Haven't had it for 20+ years, but I'll be looking for any packs I can find. Just to taste it one last time.

For Bubble Tape and Big Chew,

Kids are gross man,
I used to flatten out a piece of gum I was chewing and place a Fruit Gusher in the middle and wrap it up, start chewing the shit out of that…

NOOOOOOOO

Literally tbe best of all tbe stick gum when I was growing up. Granted you went thru a pack an hour bit while it had flavor it was glorious

Best 20 seconds of a young kid's life was chewing that. And then immediately throwing it away. RIP Zebra guy!

RIP the yummy fruity one. I am still sad there is no Gatorade gum. And while I haven't looked for any bubble gum, I miss the orange flavored bubblicious and hubba bubba

It is hilarious that candy cigarettes were ever allowed

Bubblicious is the shit so until that leaves then it's no skin off my back. It's hard to find nowadays though.

I loved the Bubble Gum Cigarettes that would blow a puff of sugar smoke..

And yet you can still buy these disgusting things. Disappointed me every time I tried them as a kid. Life is cruel and unfair. RIP Fruit Stripe; I shall observe 8.3 seconds of delicious silence in your honor.

I live my life a stick of Fruit Stripe at a time. Nothing else matters. For those ten seconds or less of flavor, I'm free.
