I wanted to try this when I was little, but I never did.

I haven’t thought about Fruit Stripe gum in ages.
I used to chew it, back when I was a kid. In the 1970s. I haven’t chewed it since.
If I wouldn’t have seen this article, I would not miss it.

I used to get Beech-Nut Fruit Stripe Gum. The problem was you had to get the assortment. Cherry and Orange were fine, but Lemon and Lime were yucky.

“Fruit Stripe was invented in the late 1960s”
Not the “late” 60s. I remember it from the early 60s, probably 1964 or before. Wikipedia says 1960.

They don’t make gum the same anymore anyways.
Most of the brands we grew up with as kids aren’t made with sugar anymore. Can’t get Bubble Yum or Hubba Bubba the way it was made in the late 70s and 80s because of this, when it was made the best way.

My grandmother kept Cloves gum in her purse.I can still recall the smell. I liked Beeman’s which came back briefly in the 80’s. Probably because of the movie the Right Stuff.

Instead, they should have fixed the flavor-loss issue. It was great gum for 10 seconds.

The flavor lasted about a minute, then bland city. I moved on to Sweettarts and Lemonheads’ assorted fruit. I still enjoy both in my 50’s. I go through a box a day or more since I quit smoking.

Wrigleys Juicy Fruit gum was my go to gum as a kid, along with Dubble Bubble, and occasionally Bazooka.
I bought some Juicy Fruit a while back and it doesn’t taste anything like it did when I was a kid...............

I got two eight packs from my kids at Thanksgiving. It was a childhood favorite along with rootbeer barrels and banana flavored BB Bats.

"Fruit Stripe" -- I remember that as the new kid on the block. I grew up with Juicy Fruit, DoubleMint, Chiclets, Beech-Nut, Bazooka Bubblegum, Pepsin, and Black Jack.
Even Wrigley's "Big Red" was new-fangled for me.
This ad was 25 years before I was born...

I was a kid when fruit stripe came out. My Granny was a big time juicy fruit chewer, (probably to cover the snuff she often kept between her cheek and gum) but when Fruit Stripe came out, it was all over for juicy fruit. I preferred double mint, probably because the double mint twins made it look so cool, but I’d chew whatever was available.
