Fruit Stripe Gum: Celebrating the Fun Memories with Funny Dad Jokes - Fruit Stripe Gum is Discontinued!

Fruit Stripe gum has been discontinued after 54 years

Jokes from CoreniaBug to lighten the mood as Fruit Stripe Gum gets discontinued. 

 “We have made the difficult decision to sunset Fruit Stripe Gum, but consumers may still be able to find product at select retailers nationwide,” a Ferrara representative tells CoreniaBug in an email. “The decision to sunset this product was not taken lightly, and we considered many factors before coming to this decision, including consumer preferences, and purchasing patterns — and overall brand trends for Fruit Stripe Gum.”

Fifty-four years ago, Fruit Stripe was invented by James Parker and was first sold by the Beech-Nut company. Over the years, the candy gum brand changed ownership a few times — but now, the only true owner is our collective memory.

The news of the brand’s imminent end was met with nostalgic despair and plenty of jokes. Although Ferrara is 86ing Fruit Stripe gum, the company assures the sugar-loving public that it’s “delighted” to continue offering many of its other beloved brands that remind many of us of recess, ice cream trucks and other childhood joys.

These classic brands include Fun Dip, Gobstopper, Juicy fruits, Atomic Fireballs, Chuckles, Pixy Stix and many more, which Ferrara notes can be found via its recently launched Amazon store.
