Fruit Snacks and other foods you enjoyed as a kid.

When I was looking through Facebook on my phone one day this week, I saw a post about fruit snacks from the 80's and 90's.  One of the brands featured were the Berry Bears.  I think I ate those at least once because I remember the purple pegasus fruit snacks.  I looked on Ebay and found the same pegaus toy that I have a vague memory of coming from a box of fruit snacks.  It turns out that the pegaus toy is one of the toys that came with Berry Bears. 

Here's a commercial for Berry Bears fruit snacks.

Today I like Welch's fruit snacks.   What fruit snacks did you like as a kid and which ones do you eat today?

The commercial seems very familiar. This might be a bit of a cheat since they are not fruit snacks exactly, but I love Gushers and always have.

I miss these, they tasted the best

I liked the ones that were swirled. I think they were cream flavor and then a fruit mixed in one.

I really liked Fruit by the Foot too

I ate a wide variety of fruit snacks as a kid. My favorites now are Annie's brand, those cute rabbit shaped fruit snacks. Since they're an organic brand though, their stuff is a bit pricey and as a result I only buy them every once in a while as a treat.

remember the dinosaur shaped ones?  I also really liked those

The scooby-doo gummies. Those were awesome. I always loved the blue ones. I haven't had them in a few years but there's a lot of things I can't eat anymore so I figure that's probably one of them.

Reminds me I never ate Fruit Gushers because I saw ads in the early 2000s that had heads turning into fruit and exploding. It scared me off of them, lol.

I like fruit snacks.  Except for gushers.

Shark Bites! I remember making ocean Jell-o cups with them when the berry blue flavor came out. LOL.

I vaguely remember the Berry Bears because of the pegasus. I remember having them at least once in my life.

I remember the commercial for Amazin' Fruit but I never had them.

I usually got Gushers, Fruit by the Foot, or String Thing in my lunch when I packed. I like the Welch's berry gummies the best now.

I don't eat any fruit snacks today but when I was a kid Shark Bites were my absolute favorites.

Fruit by the Foot commercials.

Was that the one that was advertised as being 3 ft long?  I think I actually tried to measure it from shoulder to my wrist to see if it was true.

String Thing commercials.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z841_f_Y8YY

Off topic, but I also remember the Disney popsicles shaped like Donald, Goofy and Mickey.

I came here to say this, but Tailrustedtealeaf beat me to it. The blue scoob gummies were my favorite as well!
