fruit snacks vs gummy bears

Make sure you get sugarless gummy bears and eat the entire bag.

I don't like either one. Never did get the gummy craze...and the "fruit leather" stuff sucks.

I like fruit leather; mostly... It's not something I buy myself, but would be happy to be given some. Otherwise, I don't like gummies. I wouldn't eat a free gummy bear.
 
When I was a little Possessed, my mom picked up a huge contained of gummi bears from Sam's Club. My sister and I each had a friend over and were snacking on the bears. We asked if we could change snacks and my mom said no, not until we finished the container. So we ate and ate and ate... and we finished the huge tub of gummi bears. Later on, my stomach announced its displeasure... all over the place.

I tried a gummi bear a few years ago, to see if I got over my sickness for them. The test was a failure and I had to spit the thing out. Some people can not have tequila anymore after a rough night, I can not have gummi bears.
 
Neither. I never got into the fruit leather thing. Liked gummi bears as a kid, but not so much now. I prefer chocolate to chewy candies, the only chewy I still go for is Swedish Fish.
 
That stuff is the worst for your teeth...it gets embedded between your teeth and turns to acid pretty quickly. I have a family friend that's a dentist and he claims gummy-anything is the biggest contributor to cavities he's seen in years.
 
I always enjoyed Fruit Roll Ups. Their association with a classic "Boy George in a sleeping bag" joke notwithstanding.

ah the 80s....no one gaf.
 
Of course, if you actually want a dried fruit snack, dried apricots, figs, raisins, apples are all better than the crap that they call "fruit" snacks:

I like fruit leather a lot but it's incredibly expensive versus buying regular fruit. Haven't had it in a couple years.

It might not be as expensive as you think. Fresh fruit is largely water, and that's what you're paying for. Dried fruit is more fruit by weight.
 
I prefer for my slightly fruitish flavored corn syrup products to be dipped in ascorbic acid. Bears are an OK creature, "snacks" are ok, however, the best of course is worms or kids.

I can't decide if your mom was stupid or brilliant... I mean letting kids eat an entire container of gummies until they puke sounds really stupid, but in the end you didn't touch another one. It's like making you smoke a whole pack of cigs when they catch you with one.

:hmm:
