Who remembers these bad boys?

Like crack. First time I had one they never tasted the same. Either that it I ate too many packs gathering just the white to eat alone and got sick of em. Either way these use to HIT

In fairness they probably reformulated the recipe a bunch. They were actually discontinued because of it: "Shark Bites were effectively discontinued due to a 2016 formula change by General Mills to remove artificial flavors and colors, which significantly altered the taste, texture, and appearance of the beloved 90s fruit snack. The removal of the popular opaque, chalky white shark pieces and a shift to a sticky, translucent texture caused consumer demand to plummet."

That “first bite magic” hits hard, after that it’s just chasing a feeling you can’t quite get back 😄

That “first one hits different” feeling is so real, after that it’s never quite the same again 😄

We truly grew up during peak fruit snack.

whamburglar@reddit

I always thought it was the tastiest.

Goumand little whamburglar swore it had a yogurty flavor to it.

Yes - It was somehow “cream-based” rather than the other “fruit-based” pieces

It’s like the flavour of these old beauties. I remember when these showed up on the playground.

walkinghrviolation86@reddit

This all this. Could never figure out the flavor of the white sharks but they were amazing

[-]

DmtTraveler@reddit

The mystery white was just left overs of the others mixed together. Its white bc all organic chemicals are white, no dye was added

Same deal for all candies with the white "special"

If they had just held on long enough they would have experienced a renaissance during the Baby Shark phenomenon.

59apache01@reddit

I would eat them occasionally, though I was more of a Fruit Roll-up kid.

[-]

coffeeprincess@reddit

I remember eating these and sorting the flavors/colors. Meticulously eating the yellow and green and saving the reds, purple, white for last while “Save the best for last” by Vanessa Williams played on the radio. I couldn’t believe what was happening. How did they know?!

[-]

The white shark was the prize! Eating them while watching Street Sharks was mandatory.

What ever happened to these? They were so loved

[-]

laziestmarxist@reddit

The smooth gummies had gelatin in them so that's why no more smooth gummy.

I ate the Scooby Doo ones well into adulthood just for that smooth gummy texture

[-]

moderndayathena@reddit

Fruit snacks tasted so much better in the 90s :/

Leaningthemoon@reddit

From the same maker as my faves, Fun Fruits. (Sunkist I think)

They came in a paper pouch, it had a foil lining inside, and were tiny bean like pieces, (small as a kids fingernail, and I would squish them onto my fingernails) and each pouch had maybe 20-25 pieces. Great texture.
One flavor per pouch: grape, strawberry, cherry…maaaybe another flavor. Those lil fuckers were amazing.
