Fruit Strip Gum.




Fruit Strip Gum.
I'm chewing a piece right now and its like I'm reliving (or re-chewing) my childhood.
This was by far my favorite candy. "Yipes, Stripes! Its Fruit Stripe Gum!"
In my young mind it was perfection in stick form. In chewing it now I am getting painfully nostalgic for days long past. Days when I was at Saint Paul. Days when life was easier and friends were plentiful and there was not nearly the drama there is now. I have a stick of the peach flavor in my mouth, by far the one I liked the least but still I love it. I'm so tempted to be like a third grader and put on the tattoos. The one on this particular wrapper is the zebra surf boarding.

Life was so much easier when this gum was in style...

AMEN to you and that gum. I loved that gum. The fruity flavors and the awesome tattoos. I would always put those on and think I was the coolest.

Completely agree... "Life was so much easier when this gum was in style..."
