This Month's candy may prove to be a bit of a challenge for some of you - but since the prize is an original Sweet B Folk Art Lollipop man - I wanted to test your candy hunting abilities!July's Candy is Fruit Stripe Gum!
Fruit Stripe Gum will take you waaaaaaaay back to the days of childhood - where gum was full of SUGAR and FLAVOR - (three minutes of flavor to be precise)!
Fruit stripe gum is the ONLY gum with painted on stripes. In the traditional pack - you will find five flavors: cherry, peach, melon, lemon and orange. There is also a fruity assortment available in a pink wrapper: cherry, grape, mixed fruit, lemon and cotton candy!
Fruit Stripe gum was invented and lunched in the 1960's as an extension of th
e Beech-nut gum brand.Today, Fruit Stripe Gum wrappers come with one or more temporary tattoos featuring - "Yipes" the Fruit Stripe Zebra.
Unfortunately the sweet fruitiness of this gum only lasts for about three minutes. But with these cute stripes and fruity scent - who cares!
Chew your FRUIT STRIPE GUM!

Hi Amelia, I use to love Fruit Stripe gum when I was little.
I will post something on my blog when I get back from vacation.
Happy 4th of July to you and your Family.

Please - I must join your candy club! I remember that gum - I don't think the flavor lasted that long, but it was so fun to look at the striped gum and smell it! HA!
Very yummy indeed. I loved the striped and the wonderfully sweet aroma. Always sad that it never lasted long enough. Loved seeing the tattoo. Did I have a quick flash of the past? Yes I did :)
oh my gosh, I used to LOVE fruit stripe! Good first choice!
Happy Happy 4th Sweet B!

Please allow me to be part of the Candy Club - you have brought back waves of memories of that childhood favorite of mine - my favorite flavors were cherry and lemon! Thanks for a blast from the past!
