Fruit Stripe Gum

Fruit Stripe Gum had been on shelves since the 1960s, instantly recognizable by its rainbow striped sticks and the small tattoo sticker tucked inside every pack. It stayed a vending machine and checkout aisle staple for decades, known for flavor that faded fast but delivered an intense burst the moment you started chewing. The brand was finally discontinued in 2020, and the announcement caught a lot of people off guard since they assumed it had already vanished years earlier.
