Kids love fruit snacks, and sometimes adults do too. Well, at least I do.
One fruit snack that I remember from my childhood is String Thing. I can only remember one flavor, which I think was strawberry.
The snack looked like a red licorice rope but had a softer texture and fruitier taste. The "string" was all coiled up on a piece of white cardboard twisted into some kind of shape. While the presentation was enough to make it memorable, I recall the fruit string being really tasty. Mind you, it wasn't much of a snack.
Anyways, I have always wondered why other fruit snacks, like Shark Bites and Fruit Roll-Ups have persevered over the years but String Thing fell out of popularity and off the market. For instance, when I searched the internet for an image of String Thing only two pictures turned up, one small and barely visible and the pathetic picture you see here.
What happened to you String Thing?
