And how has marketing around Fruit Roll-Ups changed over time? Join me as I take a look back at the history of Fruit Roll-Ups and the rise of Fruit Snacks.

I remember the grape Fruit Roll Ups, as they were my favorite flavor. I was really young (like ~3) and I still miss them.
I dont care how much real fruit are in them...the are delicious and I live them still, and I sometimes gorge myself on them..lol..no joke
What an awesome video! I'm Australian, so it was cool to hear the American history behind it 😊
Thank you! 😊
When I was in middle school it seemed like you absolutely couldn't be cool unless you had some of these in your lunch bag.
I like the Tropical Tye Dye Fruit Roll ups

An obscure and odd fact of the united states is the ingredient list operates under quantity present descending, so it has more rasberries in it than anything else but in total net volume probably not a lot.
I’m high eating fruit by the foot watching this 😂
Strawberry fruit roll-ups were great, but then they came out with the tye-dye ones (with tatoos) that tasted amazing too.
Interesting presentation❤️🙏🇳🇵
Thank you! 😊
I loved the Fruit Swirl Bars. I'd separate the cream part and eat it first. 😊
remember string things? I REMEMBER
this channel is amazing
Did anyone actually think fruit roll ups were anything but a sugary snack? lol I mean, doesn’t stop them from being delicious, but they in no way even resemble anything healthy or natural lol.
There no longer real fruit in fruit roll ups all sugar and corn syrup.
Delicious sugar and corn syrup though. Most super processed American foods are gross, but fruit roll ups have always been delicious lol
