I'm sad to hear that Fruit Stripe Gum was discontinued, though, admittedly, I was part of the problem, not buying this colorful product in ages. My most committed period of purchasing of Fruit Stripe is when I was in college, dating a fellow that got me hooked on the tattoos. I loved those cruddy tattoos, or maybe it was just the fellow.

Thanks for sharing the rich history of the gum and of Beech-Nut, which I knew little about. The ads and commercials you included are great, made me nostalgic for an old familiar chew that I can no longer have.

To Robert Denny, I would also like a zebra, please!
