Maybe it's the fond childhood memories and flashbacks to happy endings of brown bag lunches. Maybe it's a combination of the sugar-high you get when you accidentally eat a whole box and the seemingly tasteless, yet somehow delicious, modified corn starch which always seems to find its way onto the ingredient list.
Or maybe it's just a texture thing.
Regardless of why I love fruit snacks to such a strange extent, I will continue to declare that love until I find something more interesting to blog about. Plus, it gives me a reason to eat more fruit snacks. This, however, is a double edged sword according to my friend, Ellen. She has an aunt who apparently ate too many fruit snacks and other fruit snack-like objects, got "gummed up," and now has to poop in a bag for the rest of her life. I am in no way making fun of all the beautiful people out there who have the misfortune of carrying the permanent accessory of a colostomy bag. In fact, I admire you. I could never do it. This is why getting "gummed up" will forever be a constant (yet often forgotten) fear that will arise periodically during my search for the perfect fruit snack.
Let me briefly define the term "fruit snack" to avoid any confusion.
Fruit Snack- n. (pl. fruit snacks, adj. fruit-snackish, adv. fruit-snackedly)
Any fruit-flavored food product of a gummy consistency, which may or may not contain fruit, sugar or anything found in nature, but is delicious anyway.
That was from the dictionary, I'm not making that up.
I hope you'll join me in my search, and feel free to comment about your favorite brands, least favorite brands, or how pointless this blog is.
-All Gummed Up
