I used to house Fruit Bars when I was a shorty...I recall they had a center strip of white but the internet suggests maybe they didnt?

I also have a memory of eating orange fruit roll-ups with my mom once upon a time and still recall the flavor. Wish they still made them. Now they only have strawberry and whatever the fuck tropical tie dye is supposed to be.

I also loved licorice laces which used to be (or seemed to be) 3'+ (1 m) long and chewy but manageably so, but these days they're barely a foot 0.3 m) and usually hard as rocks.

The fruit wrinkles by the same company were the best fruit snacks for me!
