Fruit Roll-Ups

[2morrow]

I confess: I just ate a whole box of Fruit Roll-Ups. All ten of 'em. Mmmm...tangy strawberry goodness. Oddly enough, I don't feel ill!






I'm goin' to candy mountain! Who's with me?!

I just ate about 1/3 a bag of Garden Salsa SunChips - although whether I'll be ill still remains to be seen.

 

[Lancemc]

I havn't eating a fruit roll-up in years. This must be corrected immediately.

Now I suddenly have a craving... though as a youngin, I always preferred Fruit by the Foot.

 

[Liesje]

Fortunately for my dentist, I HATE those things! We weren't allowed to have them, since there is no "fruit" in them, just sugar, and you can feel it rotting your teeth out. Fruit rollups, fruit snacks, fruit by the foot...

 

[Lila64]

I used to like the apricot ones when I was a kid - before it was a "fruit roll-up" and fashionable. Now I just think Plus it is awful for your teeth

 

[Canadiens1131]

Oh man, I love those things! I just kind of buy a whole box and shove several in my mouth at once, with each half-detached from the wax paper and the ends waving around as I writhe on my bed in a sugary bliss.

Oh yeah, I know what I'm doing tonight now

best thread ever

I haven't had one of those in forever, but as a kid I ate Fruit Roll-Ups and Fruit-by-the-Foots all the time

anyone eat lunchables? I love lunchables.

I always got the ham and cheddar cheese ones when I was in high school. Except one day mine was bad and I puked. Haven't really wanted one since then, but I sure did like them a lot at the time!

Anyone tried Fruit Leather? 100% organic fruit

 

[tpsreports2424]

I haven't had those since i was like 8!

when I was littler I thought those were the same!

but like fruit by the foot better

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

woah Fruit Roll-Ups are still around?

*flashes back to early 80s lunches in Elem. school *

Yeah, it tastes more like leather than fruit

 

[2morrow]

Mmmmm....I just bought another box.

FYI: Fruit Roll-Ups are delicious when stored in the fridge for a few minutes!

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah, I get what you're all saying. I've had my share of fruit-flavored sugar-based goodness, and it's wonderful...

...But I like the more organic ones with actual fruit. They're thicker, and harder to come by, but if you can pick them up, they're a solid alternative.

i thought they were gross even when I was a kid .

Haven't had them in years either. Can still remember though how sticky they were and how they use to get stuck in your teeth.

Fruit Leather! I honestly thought that my family were the only people who bought these. I like them I admit the texture is weird to get used to at first, but overall

 

[Varitek]

mmmm wrapping a whole fruit by the foot around your thumb of finger and sucking/chewing on it....

 

[2morrow]

I've been experimenting w/ the Fruit-Roll Ups...Putting them in the freezer, fridge, microwave. Interesting results, I might add.

 

[Got Philk?]

I could probably pull off eating all 10 too. I have a bad habit of just crinkling them up like a wad of paper and stuffing them in my mouth.

This is why I don't buy them often. not worth it to me.

 

[Bug]

Shun the nonbeliever! SHUUUUUNNNNNN!

 

[Laura M]

they sound like boke whatever they are

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Yeah, pretty much, Lara, but I loved those as a kid. It's amazing that I'm 28 and have only had one cavity in my life.

 

[U2democrat]

I lost 2 teeth to fruit roll ups on seperate occasions (baby teeth). They weren't even loose!

 

[2morrow]

Shun the nonbeliever! SHUUUUUNNNNNN!

Shun, we shall...

 

[Lemonchick]

I had about 3 or 4 of these last week.

It sucks that they're so bad for your teeth.

 

[LyricalDrug]

This was the ONLY way to eat them. Remember how gross it would get, after about 5 minutes? Your thumb turned into a sticky blob of sugar, slobber, and melted fruit roll-up. Good times!
