Fruit Gushers

Fruit Gushers (occasionally just called Gushers) are hexagonal fruit snacks made primarily from sugar and fruit juice, with small amounts of other ingredients. Introduced in 1991, they are produced by General Mills under the Betty Crocker brand name, and may be found in generic forms as well. The center of each gusher is a thick sweet liquid, and is surrounded by a chewy gelatinous sugar covering. When one bites into the snack, the liquid inside "gushes" out, hence the name of the snack. Fruit Gushers was the major sponsor for the YTV game show Uh Oh! from 2001 until the series ended in 2003.

Ingredients for the Strawberry Splash flavor are: Pears from concentrate, sugar, dried corn syrup, corn syrup, modified corn starch, fructose, grape juice from concentrate. Ingredients making up less than 2% of the product: Partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, maltodextrin, cottonseed oil, carrageenan, citric acid, glycerin, monoglycerides, sodium citrate, malic acid, ascorbic acid, natural flavor, potassium citrate, agar-agar, Red 40, xanthan gum.

Gushers originally came in two flavors: Gushin' Grape and Strawberry Splash. Grape was discontinued.

A new variety of the snack is Gushers Mood Morphers which come in a fruit punch flavor with different colored fruit-flavored fillings.

A new variety that recently came out is "Hawaiian Punch". These are the same shape as the original and contains the three naturally flavored fruit snacks; "Pineapple Paradise", "Watermelon Luau", and "Maui Mango". They are not currently for sale in all States and regions.

Fruit Roll-Ups

Fruit Roll-Ups is a brand of fruit snack that debuted in grocery stores across the United States in 1983. The snack is a flat, pectin-based fruit-flavored snack, wrapped around a piece of cellophane for easier removal.

Fruit Roll-Ups are manufactured by General Mills and distributed under the Betty Crocker brand in the United States brand in Australia. Several similar products have been marketed by General Mills and by other companies.

Fruit Corners Fruit Roll-Ups were heavily marketed on television in the United States throughout the early 1980s. Most spots featured the tag line "Fruit Corners Fruit Roll-Ups: Real fruit and fun, rolled up in one." Later spots featured children innovating in the "Fruit Roll-Up Fun Factory".

The overall marketing theme is that parents can feed their children "fun" processed foods that are based on real fruit. Studies of American mothers have shown that the mothers are surprised at how sweet Fruit Roll-Ups are and how little fruit is present in them. For example, the strawberry flavor contains no strawberries, and the only ingredient derived from fruit is the sugar present in concentrated pear juice.

General Mills' research for the product began in 1975.

Joray Fruit Rolls are a round, fruit leather product from New York that predates Fruit Roll-Ups. Fruit Roll-Ups have a more rubbery texture than the natural rolls and though were originally round in shape, they are now shaped like a parallelogram.

Fruit Roll-Ups have featured variants on the original plain sheets such as punch out shapes on the rolls and temporary tattoos and tattoos for tongues.

Betty Crocker sells Fruit Roll-Ups in single-flavor boxes and flavor variety packs.

The main ingredient is sugar, and Fruit Roll-Ups contain five different types of sugar: sugar from pear juice concentrate, corn syrup, dried corn syrup, sugar, and a small amount of dextrose. They also contain small amounts of partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, citric acid, sodium citrate, acetylated monoglycerides, fruit pectin, malic acid, ascorbic acid, natural flavors, and artificial colors.

Answer 5

Fruit Stripe

Fruit Stripe is an artificially and naturally flavored fruit chewing gum notorious for its strong yet fleeting flavor. It proudly claims to be the only gum with painted-on stripes, and is packaged in zebra-striped .

The "Five Flavor Gum" was invented by James Parker and launched in early 1969 as an extension of the Beech-Nut gum line. Farley's & Sathers Candy Company acquired Fruit Stripe in 2003 from The Hershey Company. Farley's & Sathers merged with Ferrara Pan in 2012, forming the Ferrara Candy Company.

Two five-flavor packs of Fruit Stripe are currently produced:

In the late 1970s, there was a chocolate version called Chocolate Stripe.

A character known as the Fruit Stripe Gum Man promoted the product as late as 1967; he merely consisted of an anthropomorphic gum pack with limbs and a face. The Stripes Family Animals, which included a zebra, tiger, elephant, and mouse, were also used in advertising and featured in a coloring book and plush toys.

However, a cartoon zebra named Yipes has outlasted the other characters to become Fruit Stripe's long-standing, sole mascot. Wrappers contain tattoos of Yipes inline skating, skateboarding, playing baseball, hang gliding, playing basketball, bicycling, snowboarding, surfing, playing soccer, playing tennis, and eating grass. In 1988, Yipes was made into a promotional bendy figure.

Yipes is shown prominently on Fruit Stripe gum packaging. Yipes is often shown as a sports player, playing basketball or soccer on the gum's packaging.

In 1996, Fruit Stripe gave five cents from the sale of each Jumbo Pack and Variety Multipack to the World Wildlife Fund, totaling up to $100,000, for the preservation of endangered animals and their habitats.

Some packs of Fruit Stripe gum include temporary tattoos.

In 1991, a commercial-type music video short film, Yipes! Stripes!, features different types of cartoon animation set to a 1980's rap song called, Yipes! Stripes!. The short film features a Digeri Dingo-inspired/Digeri Dingo-esque anthropomorphic rainbow-striped zebra named Yipes (voiced by Scott Weinger, best known for the voice of Aladdin in Disney's Aladdin), who is the main protagonist of the short film. The rap is performed by Kath Soucie (best known for the voice of Fifi Le Fume and Lil' Sneezer in Tiny Toon Adventures), who also voiced Yipes's female anthropomorphic rainbow-striped zebra girlfriend and love interest. The short film also includes a cut-out animated photograph of a kid blowing a computer animated bubble gum up until it explodes, a stop motion animated road, and a claymation sequence involving two clay animated aliens (a green one, and a purple one) with guns as their weapons in a distant planet.

Fun Dip

Fun Dip

Fun Dip is a candy manufactured by The Willy Wonka Candy Company, a brand owned by Nestlé. The candy has been on the market in the United States and Canada since the 1940s and was originally called Lik-M-Aid. It was originally manufactured by Fruzola, and then Sunline Inc., through their Sunmark Brands division, which was purchased by Nestlé in January 1989. It comes in many different flavors with candy sticks that are included.

Fun Dip is similar to fellow Wonka product Pixy Stix, but sold in small pouches, rather than paper or plastic straws. When called Lik-M-Aid, it consisted of 4 packets of flavored and colored sugar. When rebranded in the 1970s as Fun Dip, two edible candy sticks called "Lik-A-Stix" were added. While the original flavors consisted of lime, cherry and grape, the most common flavors are cherry, grape, and a raspberry/apple combination that turns from blue when dry to green when wet with saliva or water. It also comes in sour flavors, including sour watermelon, sour apple, and sour lemonade. There is also orange flavored Fun Dip. Packets with one stick and two flavors were once the standard, and packets with only one or two flavors are still available with less prominence than the now-standard three-flavor package.

Fun Dip varies greatly from many other types of candy in that it is meant to be eaten over a considerable amount of time, compared to other candies that are usually bite size or consumed quickly. During the rebranding in the 70's two additional sugar sticks, called "Lik-kaging". The intended purpose is to wet the sticks, using saliva or, in some cases, water, and then collect some of the sugar and lick the sugar off of the Lik-A-Stix.

Fuse (chocolate bar)

Fuse is a brand of chocolate bar currently manufactured by Cadbury in India, originally produced in the United Kingdom. The original product was unusual for being a 70% solid bar of milk chocolate with the remaining 30% containing suspended within it nuts, peanuts raisins, crisp cereal and fudge pieces rather than having these ingredients simply coated with chocolate.

The bar tested very well in research, with 82% rating it as excellent or very good and 83% proposing to purchase it regularly.

Fuse was the subject of a large marketing campaign leading to a national rollout of the product on "FuseDay" - Tuesday 24 September 1996.

The unusually large marketing campaign was the subject of a documentary by TV Choice Ltd - The Marketing Mix at Cadbury's (1998).

Forty million Fuse bars were sold in the first week of release. The brand was discontinued in 2006.

As of early 2010, there are various campaigns in progress to see its return to the shelves.

In October 2015, Cadbury launched a Twitter campaign, #CadburyCraveyard, where fans could tweet the hashtag or comment on a qualifying Facebook post for which chocolate bar, out of Fuse or Marble, they wanted to resurrect for Halloween. The bar that proved to be most popular was Fuse, and it was then recreated using the same recipe and ingredients and distributed to 100 randomly selected winners. By July 2016 Cadbury had begun secret product testing and taste trials with select consumers across the UK to perfect the recipe prior to its public relaunch.

Mondelez Ltd., the manufacturer of Cadbury products decided to launch Fuse in India in September 2016 to better compete with Mars and Nestlé in the country's chocolate-coated peanut segment.

"I think now we have an opportunity here to create a premium product to what we had in 5 Star. I think Cadbury Fuse will do that for us and create a whole new segment," said Manu Anand, president, chocolate, Asia-Pacific, Mondelez International. It launched in an e-commerce portal, two weeks before it hit the shelves The Indian bar differs slightly from the original.

Gilliam Candy Company

Gilliam Candy Company is an American candy manufacturer established in Paducah, Kentucky by Cleve Gilliam in 1927. They are known for making candy sticks. Gilliam also made Kentucky Blue Grass nickel candy bars in its early years. In the 1930s the company expanded with Bacon Slice, Tummy Full, and Cello Sally lines.

The company expanded its candy lines in recent decades after James Lacy purchased the company including Kits (miniature square taffy candy with flavors including banana, peanut butter, chocolate and strawberry wrapped with a machine used to package bouillon cubes), BB Bats (taffy lollipops in strawberry, chocolate, banana and molasses peanut flavors), Slo Pokes (caramel on a stick) and Sophie Mae Candies (which date to 1884).

The company has been producing one of its most popular products, BB bats, since the 1920s. The primary difference between Gilliam's Kit toffee and BB Bats is mainly that BB bats have a stick at the bottom, forming a type of lollipop. Most of the primary flavoring of BB Bats are artificial in nature, such its vanilla or banana favors.
