Fruit String Thing
by Betty Crocker
Yes — Fruit String Thing was discontinued in 1999 after 6 years on shelves, and it has not come back.
A fruit snack shaped into loopy string art — part candy, part maze puzzle. You traced it, untangled it, and then ate the evidence.
🧾 One more thingIts sibling, Fruit by the Foot, survived and still thrives. The String Thing took the fall so the Foot could live.
