![]() I didn’t care much for the tartness of it at first, but the fake watermelon was rather fresh tasting and lasted longer than I expected. Green is Wet Watermelon (but in a pink wrapper) which was much better than I expected. The flavor lasted longer than the peach and faded into a kind of woodsy medicinal thing that was actually better than the initial overly sweet thing. It reminded me a lot of Cherry Life Savers. Red is Cherry and seems odd, if only because it’s cherry gum, which isn’t that common. Later chewing brings out more artificial notes, including the colorings, which have a slight metallic and bitter note to them. Orange is Orange - the flavor starts strongly artificial, sweet and tangy with only a slight grain to it. The lemon flavor is like chewing on a candle, not at all like a fresh or zesty real lemon, though there are some more zesty notes towards the end but those are reminiscent of cleaning supplies. Yellow is Lemon and as expected, it’s the most sour of the set. I’m actually not accustomed to chewing stick gum, as I prefer the candy coated chiclet styles for the variation in textures. ![]() The gum is smooth, the sugar is very sweet, so sweet that I kept checking the label to see if it was some sort of artificial sweetener. ![]() It wasn’t my favorite, but not too fake or sour. Peach is Peach Smash and has a fresh flavor to it. They feature the mascot for the gum, a zebra known as Yipes. The paper overwraps for the individual sticks are also temporary tattoos. The flavors are now Wet & Wild Melon, Cherry, Lemon, Orange and Peach. It’s a flat stick of gum, made from a synthetic chewing gum base with artificial colors and flavors. The concept of Fruit Stripe Gum is largely unchanged over the years. Just this year Farley’s and Sathers merged with the Ferrara Pan Candy Company. In 1999 Hershey’s picked up the brand from Nabisco along with the more popular Bubble Yum, Ice Breakers, Breath Savers and Care Free gums but then sold off the Fruit Stripes brand, along with Rain Blo, Hot Dog and Superbubble, to Farley’s & Sathers in 2003. In 1981 Nabisco acquired just the confectionery portion with the brands of Beech Nut and Life Savers. In 1968 Beech Nut (which had also acquired Life Savers in 1956) merged with Squibb to become Squibb Beech-Nut Corporation. The history of the gum is rather convoluted, as it’s tied up with Beech Nut, which made both candy and baby food. The flavors were cherry, orange, lime, mixed fruit and lemon ( picture of early ad). The packages were a mix of five flavors, each with striped colors on the gum sticks. When can you start?" Mfw Baneposting gave me the courage to ace my job interview, and I am now gainfully employed.Fruit Stripe Gum was launched back in the early 1960s as an extension of Beechnuts broad line of gums and fruity candies.
