I didn’t even know it was still on the market; I hadn’t seen any in years.
(Not that I was actively looking, though; it was pretty awful tasting, IIRC.)

Ok. But do you got more spice than the Frugal Gourmet?

I chewed it all the time when I was a wee little one along with Bazooka and Bubble Yum.
But, did everyone’s grandma have Chiclets in their purse or just mine?
And Freshen Up, the gum that goes squirt.
He didn’t know the gum was loaded.

Yeah, Fruit Stripe Gum was way low down on the Halloween Candy list, iirc just below Wax Lips and just above Candy Buttons, those little domes of dried sugar paste on strips of paper. Still better than sugar-free “candy,” or toothbrushes.

I can’t hear the name Fruit Stripe without thinking about that song. Glad to see I’m not the only one.

I liked the colorful stripes and the tartness. Not past the age of ten, but at that age I thought it was snazzy, compared to grey gum.
Chiclets fruit-flavor gum actually lost its flavor faster than Fruit Stripe. A remarkable achievement, in my opinion!

A friend of mine in junior high school once called it “the gum that cums.” I didn’t exactly know what that meant at the time, but I nervously laughed nonetheless.
Made me think of this TV ad:
So what is Toys R Us gonna give away at store openings now?
