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. :lol:
-
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. :P
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.

Here's a few more commercials.

Shark Bites! Yes, I ate those too!
-
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. :D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxY0pv8Rifg
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! :frolic:

@Leave a Whisper, I think it was. :D
Here's another one, Sunkist Fruit Rox.

I wonder what the ones were that had the white swirls? Maybe it was a limited run?
-
BC, maybe it was these?

No... they were definitely shapes and the white was swirled in with the other colors. Maybe they weren't fruit snacks? Maybe they were gummies.
-
Hmm, maybe it was Creme Savers?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5yE5G5PyVc
I'm really curious now what they were. :D

I think I know which ones you're talking about. I think they were like berries n cream gummy snacks?
-
Ooh, I loved Cream Savers! I only ate the hard candy ones though.
Maybe it was gummies. I was a big Gummi Bear fan as a kid. Remember the cartoon?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYZH7B498gE
-
I remember. :D
:listen: Gummi Bears! Bouncing here and there and everywhere! High adventure that's beyond compare! They are the Gummi Bears!
My mom bought me the series on DVD a couple of month ago.
Another Fruit Winkles commercial. This one amuses me because it says Fruit Wrinkles are "heavy on the fruit."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY1te_Byd20
Maybe I should change the topic to foods you remembered as a kid so we can talk about food besides fruit snacks? :what:
Ponyfan
-
Sure!
Candy Buttons were like my favorite thing as a kid.
-
I changed the title. :D
Here's one of the ads for the Disney frozen treats, although I only remember the popsicles and not the other things.

i don't remember the scooby-doo gummies
shark bites and gushers were yummy. i also ate a lot of fruit roll ups but i don't think they were very good. i think fruit by the foot was similar but also not very tasty. just big.
i still like gummy bears. they get stuck in my teeth though
-
They started selling Creme Savers again - I buy the rolls at Five Below, and I’ve seen bags at Big Lots.
I loved Starburst Hard Candy as a kid (now discontinued). The flavors were better than Jolly Ranchers imo. :satisfied:
-
Did anyone else get those character ice creams with the gumball eyes? I think I used to get Pink Panther, but I didn't like gum so I wouldn't eat the eyes.
Ponyfan
-
Yes! I would get Cookie Monster if I'm thinking of the same thing.
You know what else I ate all the time as a kid? The Flintstones Push-Pops. Man, were those ever good! And I used to craft things from the tubes and straws :D Orange was my favorite and I still remember what it smelled like.
-
Did any of you ever try these little refrigerated cheesecake Kraft like bars that had different fruit toppings on them? They were more 2000’s than childhood but this just reminded me I thought those were such good sweets.
-
those Flintstones Push-Pops were so good!
-
Flintstones Push Pops were good. I remember getting the orange ones. :D

I used to eat Fruit Winders when I was a child. I'd sometimes roll it all up into a giant ball and eat it that way. It was a little gross; even back then, I found it considerably worse than in strip form, and yet child me did it anyway.
I specifically recall the advertisements being weird, to say the least. I do love a weird advertisement, though.
-
I had to look up the ads for Fruit Winders. I have to say they are different and I'm a little surprised there were no complaints about the content of those ads.
I picked some different Welch's fruit snacks today from what I usually get. Hopefully they're good.
