Fruit Snacks

Had an eye-opening experience today when someone was eating fruit snacks and offered me the purple/grape pieces because they didn't like them (their favorite was green). Didn't know anyone could dislike purple fruit snacks, or that anything other than purple/red could be a favorite.

Let's take this to the judges.

Not the rubbery ones that taste like gummy bears.

Her favorites are green and yellow, not coincidentally the two with zero votes for them so far.

When this information was revealed, I was blown away, jaw dropping stuff.

A bit of a different genre. The only gummies I like are Life Savers.

Is there purple anything that taste good? I always remember having popsicles as a kid and the red would go first, followed by orange.

Also, banana is the worst flavor ever

We would have bags with only shitty purple Popsicles left that nobody would want. Power rankings were also 1.Red, 2.Orange, 74.Grape in our house.

It depends on what kind of fruit chews we're talking about. Stuff like gummy bears are completely different from the cartoon themed stuff you find next to the roll ups. For those, I prefer purple generally, but sometimes if there is a dark red or a white flavor, they can be good. Blue has occasionally been a favorite too.

Purple = grape and bananas are awesome.

Dimetapp.

Been a long time since I've had fruit snacks, but never had a problem with any. Red/orange were always my favorite. Don't be conservative though...double or triple up and create your own flavors. "YOLO" and all that shit.

Not exactly sure if you mean a specific type of fruit snacks - there's so many things of that type. As for me I love wine gums but have to order those from England.

Hands down these - they are completely different from all of the other scooby snacks. Not translucent at all. We go through fruit snacks at an alarming rate and right now Scooby Snacks are the undisputed champs with Welch's fruit snacks in disguise lagging in dead last.

I agree.. I can eat a box of these in about 10 mins.
