Does anybody else remember sharks fruit snacks.. I think they where late 80's.. they where fruit snacks in the shape of sharks, and you would sometimes find an opaque white hammerhead shark (that taste like fruit) in the pack.. i dont remember what their promotion was.. i think later they added other opaque colors like dark green.

Do you remember the generic fruit snacks.. i forgot the name, nature something, maybe nature made.. that where basically just drops of the fruit snack.. not shapes, just little drops, like they where dropped on wax paper.. with a flat bottom.. they had all different flavors, the pouch was plastic and silver lined paper..

What about fruit stand juice containers.. they where a little plastic bottle with a yellow screw on lid. They tasted nasty... not like juice at all.. they had a strong after taste.. like subtle paint thinner.

Do you remember those bags of pizzarias? Those where the best chips ever. They discontinued those.. probably because of the costs involved to make them.. That was an elegant chip.

        I remember most of those as well. I remember the Shark ones and sometimes getting the packs that had the white or grey shark in it. I don't remember them all being that color though. Or for some reason I remember getting that color to be special or something. There are deffinatly two different types of fruit snacks..the kind like the Shark kind and then the kind like the Motts company makes. Kind of like there are two different types of gummi bears. Sometimes the ones you can practicly see through don't taste as good as the gummis that are made of the same type of stuff as the Life Savers Gummis are made of.





        I prefer the type of Fruit snack that's similar to the Shark Bites and not the Motts one below it. Not that I even eat fruit snacks really but back in the day that is LOL. I DO enjoy Gummi bears every now and again though. Not often. Back in Hawaii they had chocolate covered gummi bears at the movies. I had never seen that before. They were AWESOME. If you bit one with a peice of popcorn it tasted like cocoa puffs haha

          Does anyone remember a fruit snack called Fruit Winkles or something like that? I might be getting the name wrong. I remember it in the 80s. It was a chewy fruit snack, like the Shark Bites and junk like that.

          I wonder if this is what I'm thinking of.

                          Yes, those where the ones.. fruit wrinkles, lol.. i remember everytime i saw that package i though to myself, ah these again, fuck it, and threw the whole bag down my throat.. they where definately a all at once treat. I think they had more than one brand though.. i think the motts company made one, i remember it came in a fluffy white plastic bag, with 2 or 3 flavors.. there was grape, cherry, and maybe strawberry.. one of the companies later stareted making the fruit snack into the shape of the fruit.. they where like 99 cents a box back then.

                          Does anybody else remeber about 1990 when they had teenage mutant ninja turtles fruit snacks? They where like that, they came in a puffed up bright yellow bag with the green ninja turtles logo.. they where the gummi bears type, like gummi bears but more squishy and sugary.. just generic sugar lol.

                          Do you remember dinosaur eggs? they where like a fruit snack but they had a had outside layer..

                          Fruit snacks went through a metamorphisis in the early 90's.. I remember thinking to myself i would rather have my trusty cheese and mayonaise sandwich then a pack of those crappy fruit wrinkles.. BLECK..

                                      Yep, I deffinatly remember these. I also remember seing a commercial fo them for the first time during a 1980 version of Sleepy Hollow starring Jeff Goldblum. I don't remember what year it was that the movie was being played on tv but it was the late 80s, early 90s.
