"Fruit String Thing" was that the name of it? Remember, you would peel it off of that paper board.
And dont forget the Legend of Zelda and Mario Bros. fruit snacks. Damn, I think Im crying a little.

You can still get this stuff. Decade gift boxes are awesome. They have one for each decade, including the 90s.

Not a candy, but a drink. I loved the Orbitz drink from the late 90s.

That Orbitz shit was nasty... It wasn't so much the little floaties that bothered me... I just thought it had a weird aftertaste.

Lol, "Negro Head Oysters", wtf? Hahaha. The previous name is even more "Lol'. Crazy stuff there, I can't even believe that it ever existed.
As for the "Fruit String Thing", WOW, did that ever bring back some memories. I remember "Fruit-by-the Foot" too, and of course the famous Fruit Roll-Ups.
Damn Eesh, that box is awesome lol. Look at the tape gum, and all that. I'm feeling like a kid again just looking at all of that ;-p
I still get quite a bit of that stuff too, especially the Gummy Bears, but a lot has changed as well.

That was the worst gum ever. It tasted good for about 4 bites and then the flavor was gone, and it hardened up to the consistency of concrete.
Big League Chew was the opposite - it never hardened up, you always felt like you were supposed to eat it.

Do you know how many packets of big league chew I have consumed? Probably pounds worth! Also your right about the flavor of the fruitstripe gum, but it was good the first couple minutes(like most gums).

The wife and I ordered a case of Big League Chew Grape last year. It lasted only a week or two.
That is the great part of being a parent. I'm basiclly a child still, and now I get to enjoy another childhood all over again. I see myself watching cartoons and playing video games until I die.
