It’s the end of the line for Fruit Stripe Gum, the brand that is famous for its zebra striped, fruity flavors...that literally last 5 seconds.
Well say goodbye because the brand’s owner Frerrara is discontinuing the iconic gum.
Yesterday a representative for Ferrara told CNN, “The decision to sunset this product was not taken lightly. We considered many factors before coming to this decision, including consumer preferences, and purchasing patterns – and overall brand trends for Fruit Stripe Gum.”
Fruit Stripe Gum made it’s debut in 1969 and was available in five flavors: Wet n’ Wild Melon, Cherry, Lemon, Orange and Peach.
If you are a fan of the gum grab some of the last few packs available in stores before it is gone forever.
