A world without fruity gum isn’t worth living in.

quote:

You might remember the vividly-colored Fruit Stripe Gum, but it won’t be around for much longer, according to the gum’s manufacturer. Fruit Stripe Gum has been on store shelves for more than 50 years. The Ferrara Candy Company said it is not taking the decision lightly, but looked at consumer preferences and overall brand trends to make the call. The company did say that fans of the product may still be able to find it at certain stores where it remains in stock.

I think demand could still be there if they could make it last longer than 30 seconds. That’s the issue.

That gum sucked. The flavor lasted 2 seconds. But the sight of it at the cash register at the grocery store is burned in my memory

Go buy any and all of it you can still find and throw it on Ebay. The multi packs are bringing $150+.

There's a sex joke here but I can't quite come up with it.
