Fun Fruits & Fruit Wrinkles

"Wrinkles" was a term that included all similar snacks in my household growing up. As a result of not knowing that as somewhat unusual, I was so baffled by the "fruit snack" bullshit I was encountering out in the world. Every time, I'd think "Who talks like that? Do you mean Wrinkles!?".

I was so enthralled with these. I was just thinking about them the other day and couldn’t remember what they were called. “Fruit wrinkles” was not at all what I would have guessed.

Oh wow. Childhood trauma unlocked. I was the one kid in my class with crunchy parents, so I got Fruit Wrinkles while everyone else had Fun Fruits and teased the hell out of me for it.

Same, probably haven't thought about these in 35-40 years. Mom used to pack them in my metal Dukes Of Hazard lunchbox all the time.

I still call all gummi candy " fun fruits." It's like saying "Coke" for all sodas or something.

7 is the number I could shove up one nostril on a bet from my cousin. Then they got stuck and I cried.

What marketing genius thought, "You know what'll sound appetizing and fun to kids? That's right: wrinkles."

[-]

Fruit wrinkles!!! The original! I called all fruit snacks fruit wrinkles for the longest time growing up and started getting weird looks for that sometime in high school. It’s like everyone forgot about them! I can still taste them.

Yes!!! OG Fun Fruits! I have tried to describe them to people and they’re like, “Oh, fruit snacks.” No. Just no. Current fruit snacks are an abomination and nothing like Fun Fruits.
