Subject: fruit snack name!!

Written By: Bob on 02/20/05 at 11:38 am

Alright everyone I need your help bad.  As a child of the 90's i grew up on fruit snacks, but there is one in particualr that i loved but i can not remember the name of it.  It cam in a yellow regtangular pouch about 7" wide and 3" tall and inside was a piece of white cardboard with string fruit snack on it with a crazy design.  you peeled the string snack off the cardboard and eat it.  I need to know it's been ratling my brain for the last few day.  If you know please email me at bobushka_king@hotmail.com .  Thanks in advance

It's neither of those, I know what he's talking about. It was on a white piece of thin cardboard, maybe not quite as big of a size as he said, and the string fruit snack was wrapped around in different designs on the cardboard and you would peel it off. I can't think of the name either.

It sounds like Fruit by the foot. I used to eat those.

Fruit By The foot was 3 feet long, and rolled up. I began eating it when it came out in late 1991. I'd always unravel it entirely before I began eating it.

Yeah! what was that cereal??? I've been wondering about it for years. wasn't it like some kind of "buried treasure" cereal or something? It kind of looked like bigger cap'n crunch pieces but with filling right?

They've probably been around a long time. I remember the ads about them from the 1990s.
