Whatever happened to these?? Now all I can find are those way to gelatin-like substance snacks at the store. Miss these terribly. Also loved fruit bars (with the "yogurt" swirled in) made by the same co.

I loved these as a kid. The orange and strawberry were my favorites. I want more!

My kids loved the orange fruit wrinkles. Wish they still made them exactly the same.

fruit wrinkles were the best fruit snacks ever created and they need to consider reviving them!

I loved fruit wrinkles they were the best fruit snacks. I really don't like the gelatin like ones they sell today. the closest thing I can find to the fruit snacks they used to make are the jewel brand sharks!

FRUIT WRINKLES NEED TO COME BACK NOW, THEY ARE THE BEST FRUIT SNACK EVER!!!!!!!!

i use to eat the entire box of these in one sitting at about age 8. id open all the packages and make a giant pile of wrinkles and put tons of them in my mouth like i was a Fruit Wrinkle King. what were the other things made by this company that were Fruit Bars. some were plain, some had swirl cream in them?

I would give my husband away for a box of fruit wrinkles. The rubber/wax/plastic fruit snacks of today are disgusting. Are they really gone forever?

The same product is at Kroger in the fruit snack area, and they are the same as the Fruit Wrinkle were. (just look for the Kroger version of them in the cheap box.) Taste the same and everything.

I don't know why these were discontinued. they were actually not bad for you and were soooo yummy! Anyone remember fun fruits?

so none of my friends believe that fruit wrinkles existed and thought that my mom just made the name up...what did we ever do before google???

Loved Fruit Wrinkles, Fruit Bars and Fruit n' Cream bars!!!!! Mmmm, blueberry fruit n' cream..

Fruit Wrinkles rocked my young world, so did Fun Fruits. BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!

Oh my god i need to find a krogers!! im in ny, i cant locate one anywhere here..

No one ever believed me either about Fruit Wrinkles!! We never got them because we were poor, but I remember my friends sharing them with me and I LOOOOOVED them!!! Much better than the nasty solid gelatin nasties they sell for our kids.

Somebody PLEASE bring these things back!! I could eat a bathtub full of the strawberry ones right now!

These were sooooooooooooo good, and so were fun fruits and shark bites. I only old school fruit snack still around are fruit roll ups. They need to bring back the wrinkles!!!!!!!!!

I had forgotten all about these until I saw this listed! My brothers and sisters and I loved these little chewy wonders!

oh man... i had forgotten what these were called. I LOVED THEM!!! i would take down a whole box in one day.

I used to lick the back of the wrinkles and stick them on my fingertips like little press on nails. I also used to stick them to each other to make giant fruit wrinkles. Good times.

Fruit Wrinkles were the sh*t! I would eat a 20 year old box right now if I could find one on Ebay

AWW Man -- i loved the grape Fruit Wrinkles. I was just talking to some co-workers about them and i decided to search for them in another country or something. I use to eat a whole box in a day!! my parents use to hide them from me! someone help!!!! i need them!!

Fruit Wrinkles were the best fruit snacks ever. I loved them as a child growing up. My mom use to always pack them in my lunches for school. The fruit snacks that are sold in the stores today are disgusting. Does anyone know the name of the company that produced them? I would like to contact that company that produced these fruit snacks and start a petetion for them to bring them back. I think if the company knew there is still a demand for this product....they might bring them back!!! Who's with me?

Amy, I think Fruit Corners was the company that produced Fruit Wrinkles. (Of course, a company that is no longer around. :( )

Thanks SZA. That sucks. Maybe another company could produce something in the near future that tastes the same.

I think Kroger manufactures a fruit snack very close to Fruit Wrinkles ... if you're lucky enough to live near a Kroger, that is. (I used to, but no longer, alas.)

I actually do. Kroger products that are sold at Ralphs and Food 4 Less.

I actually do. Kroger products are sold at Ralphs and Food 4 Less.

That's funny! I also used to stick them to my finger nails and pretend they were press on nails.

Wow, I thought my cousin and I were the only kids that ate fruit wrinkles! But guess I was wrong. It would be so cool if these were still around. I was talking about them for years after they were no longer around!

I laughed so hard when I read all these comments....my thoughts exactly!!! I thought I was the only one! My sister-in-law lives next to a Kroger's in Indiana (I'm in WIS) and I'm soooo gunna have her bring me some! Anyone know the exact name on the box, etc? I loved the purple ones!!!

Does anyone have a picture of a fruit wrinkle?

I loved, loved Fruit Wrinkles. RIP...

I miss fruit wrinkles! I ask people about them sometimes;some remember, some don't. I really wish they'd start making them again!!!

i am dying for a it fruit wrinkles inany flavor box of fruit wrinkles they i think we should make a petition betty crocker to bring them back

WE WANT FRUIT WRINKLES TO COME BACK!!! We can't stop thinking about them, they were the best freakon fruit snack ever!!!

Fruit wrinkles rocked!!! You got alot in the package (not like now-a-days) and they had a nice texture. Bring them back dangit!!!

i loved those when i was like 2 or 3, i called them woot winkles, and still remember how good they were:)

I ask people all the time if they rememebr fruit wrinkles and sadly they don't! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that remembers the pleasures of consuming their fruity goodness!

I remember LOVING the lemon ones. So so so good. These were very popular when I was in 4th grade. I was always so happy when somebody's mom would fill our "girl scout treat bucket" with packets of these to snack on during our meeting.

I'm almost 32 now and I still get cravings for cherry Fruit Wrinkles. They were by far the best fruit snack in the 1980s...they tasted like real fruit. I MISS THEM!

I need fruit wrinkles like a crackhead needs a hit!!!!!!

WE SHOULD START A FRUIT WRINKLE PETITION!!! BRING THEM BACK!!!!

I thought I was another goofy one. I LOVED FRUIT WRINKLES would love to see them come back! They are much better tasting than the fruit snacks sold today.

Mmmmm, my mouth is watering for fruit wrinkles. BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to take them along on Band trips when I was in High School. I've missed em for years. They were indeed the best fruit snacks ever made.

I love fruit wrinkles... the last time I had them was when I was 5 yrs old and I still remember how good they were! Bring them back!!!

Those were so GOOD! I remember being in elementary school, getting in my lunch and eating those first. They made some that were little bloby things and then towards the end, they made them in banana-orange-cherry shapes but they were strawberry flavor. I liked those and Tutti Fruitti-the strawberry roll filled with grape. YUM!

I loved fruit wrinkles. I thought i was the only person remembered them.I would just pour the whole pack in my mouth. I loved the orange ones. How come everytime you like something they get rid of it. I wish they knew how much people liked them. If they would bring them back they would fly off the shelves. BY FAR THE BEST SNACK EVER MADE!

The orange accounted for 99% of the vitamin C I ingested during my first pregnancy in 1987. And now my 22 year old daughter,since fruit wrinkles are no longer available, is addicted to orange gummi bears. Coincidence? I DON'T THINK SO!!!!

Haha, Kay Smith your daughter can have all of the orange gummi bears I always leave behind ... it's the only flavor I don't like! :)

I have a 6 year deadline to bring back "THE WRINKLE". I now believe I have enough people to back this project. Who is with me? Everybody, please please call Betty Crocker and demand "The Fruit Wrinkles" be put back on the market. My kids think I am crazy,,,they say "NO Mom, it is called a Gusher" and I say "GET OUT OF HERE YOU PESKY KIDS,,IT'S A FRUIT WRINKLE,,,AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE MAGIC MIDDLES". 6 years people, 6 years!!!! If you are with me email me at: (fruitwrinklelover@hotmail.com) so we can start a petition.

Hands down, next to Magic Middles, my other favorite snack from the 80's! My lunch box...a sandwich (which I may have eaten), Fruit Wrinkles, and Magic Middles....OH THE LIFE!

Betty Crocker introduced Fruit Roll-Ups approximately one year after they introduced Fruit Wrinkles, and within that time, Fruit Roll-Ups began to outsell its predecessor, which by 1989-1990 led Betty Crocker to announce that they would stop selling Fruit Wrinkles.

Thanks for the rundown on how our favorite snack got discontinued Eric, but that's not what we really care about. We want "The Wrinkle" back, not the history of how it got discontinued. If you have a story on how we can bring it back sooner, that would be something we would like to read!!

Jean-- You would have to ask General Mills, Betty Crocker's current parent company, because they were the ones who, by January of 1990, gave the order to ultimately stop manufacturing and distributing Fruit Wrinkles.

Now that's the answer we were looking for. Thank you Eric!

I think about these all the time!! My friends family shopped at Costco (back when not everyone did) and they use to buy these in bulk. I LOVED to eat these at her house. I have a Kroger 5 minutes from my house I will have to see if they carry that similar product!!!!

Walmart has a fruit snack that I think tastes a LOT like fruit wrinkles. I haven't had them since I was in kindergarten, so I'm not positive, but I think it's the same flavor. They are called Fruit Jammers and they are made by Sunbelt. They have real fruit juice in them, just like the fruit wrinkles, and they are oh so good :-)

Let's bring them back!!!!!

i loved how they all stuck together when you took them out of the package. anyone also want to bring back the original jello pudding pops? those were good too....

I absolutely LOOOOVVVEEEEDDD These as a kid!!! So much that I would invest 10% of my earnings to bring these back--that's the same amount I give back to God!!! So needless to say...they are just that AWESOME!!! So Soft and Chewy- ~Just Phenominal~

YAY FUN FRUITS!!! Any fruit snack made by Betty Crocker are the ones that lack the gelatin that makes them grossly chewy like a gummie bear. The walmart brand fruit smiles are very good or jewel/dominicks store brand are kind like the good old ones. I too miss tuti fruitis the fruit roll with gooey center, but remember Garfield fruit snacks? Those were the BEST!!! I always liked the plain old little bean shaped fruit snack and the sharks with the mystery great white shark...there was also this delicious fruit bar that was about and inch thick and so yummy, I wonder why these disappeared and were replaced by unhealthy gummy varieties with gelatin instead of fruit pectin. Avoid kelloggs brand to avoid animal parts in your fun fruits!

I love Fruit Wrinkles they give me Fruitasims!

The cherry wrinkle was the best and its sad that no other fruit snack can compare to that flavor. I remember sitting in the cold metal shopping cart as me and mom were buzzing around the local supermarket and finally getting to the fruit snack section. Oh I was so happy to see that box of cherry fruit wrinkles!! Memories In A Box Kids!

Ok, I'm a huge fruit snack nut. I LOVED Fruit Wrinkles and it is so sad that they aren't around anymore. I've been trying to find a comparable fruit snack for quite a while... like 18 years. I found a pretty darn good one that I highly recommend: Sunbelt Fruit Jammers. They are about $2 a box and have the appropriate consistency. Give them a shot and comment back. In the meantime we should bombard General Mills with calls to petition them to being back the original Fruit Wrinkles snack.

The Kellogg brand strawberry & cherry flavored ones aren't too bad, either. They have a stale firmness to them that is reminiscent of Fruit Wrinkles.

Tamia,,is that you with your comment above? If it is I will fall out. Let me know if this is you!!

I remember my mom keeping fruit wrinkles in her purse for church time. She would give me a pack and I would eat each one really slowly so that they lasted through the whole service :) It was so hard because I was only 3 and they were such wonderful candies.

These bring back good memories for me. I used to pack these in my lunch too. Lemon was by far the best flavor! I'm so glad you guys remember this snack because it seems that my sis and I are the only ones who do lol

I would love to have a room filled with Strawberry & Grape Fruit Wrinkles!!!!!!! They were better than any fruit snack ever made. They were my Favorite. One Christmas my husbandfilled my stocking full and To this day I remember the great taste. It's not fair they quit making them. BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring back Fruit Wrinkles! We demand it!!!!!!!!!!!

People,,,are you still with me to bring back the wrinkle??!!! I am making strides to do this. Stick in there everyone,,,we WILL tasta a WRINKLE again!!

I also demand fruit wrinkles to come back. Fruit corners made the best fruit snacks. It was real fruit and tasted awesome. Fruit snacks now are so fake and yucky. Come back, FRUIT CORNERS!!!

What the heck were those fruit snacks called that were a bear family with these friggin awesome unicorn ones that were pastel and not like the clear regular flavered family bear ones?? I cannot for the life of me remeber the name but my grandma would always pack them in my lunch and I would eat the unicorns last cuz they were the BEST!!!

Shannon, those were the BERRY BEARS and you're right - they WERE the best!!!!!!!!

Very big fan of the fruit wrinkle. We're trying to re-create them at our restaurant using naturally dripped fruit juices, agar agar & liquid nitrogen & different frozen temeperatures. By the by, does anyone remember the cream/yoghurt coated ones called "creme supremes"? YUM!

BRING FRUIT WRINKLES BACK PLEASE. By the way, does anybody remember gummy rats?

on my goodness...all the good stuff we had back then that i would kill for. personally, i loved the watermelon fruit wrinkles.

It makes me so mad that no one remembers fruit wrinkles. They were seriously the BEST fruit snack ever invented. Nothing will ever compare :( I have been trying to find them online for YEARS, and nothing. PLEASE BRING 'EM BACK!!

OMG ! I miss fruit wrinkles! The cherry ones were heaven in a box!

Fruit Wrinkles!!! I used to walk to the store every time I had $ as a kid just to buy these things. Then they just disappeared. I ask about them and people just give me a blank "I don't know what you are talking about" look. I thought I was crazy believing they existed before I came across the commercial on You Tube.

ah yes, the fruit snacks of my kindergarden years onda playground, I am 25 now, but can still so vividly and clearly recall their taste, texture and flavour.... mmmmmm

I ask people all the time if they remember fruits wrinkles and most do not. I feel sad for them having not experienced the fruity goodness that are FRUIT WRINKLES!

I love,love,love cherry Fruit Wrinkles

OMG, fruit wrinkles come back! you helped me survive middle school...i'm so sad they're not around and the other "fruit snacks" just aren't the same :(

Omg, I thought i was the only one that knew about these i wish they would bring them back!

OMG fruit wrinkles need to come back, they were the best!! Whenever I talk about them nobody seems to know what I am talking about! Soo glad others agree :)

These are awesome!!! I had them when I was like 3 and for years I could never remember what they were called. I would always ask people if they remember those fruit wriggle things and they would act like I was nuts.....

I loved the lemon fruit wrinkles. I wish they were still around--now I have a 2 1/2 year old and have been trying different fruit snacks and can't stand the gumminess--best I've found so far are Annie's organic bunny fruit snacks, and they just came out w/ a pink lemonade flavor. Still, they're no lemon Fruit Wrinkles (Fun Fruits were good, too, but I liked the Fruit Wrinkles better.)

Anna, yeah, I haven't eaten fruit snacks in years because I just can't stand the gummy texture of the modern ones! At first it seemed to be just a few companies that mader them that way, but now they all seem to do it. There has to be some way to bring back the chewy-textured ones. I still remember part of the commercial jingle for these.

Please please bring these back. I loved these fruit snacks so much as a kid. I can still remember the taste.

I loved these as a two year old...called them wooot winkles...i still remember how good they are and that was 25 years ago!!

I feel the same as everyone else, Iam glad I found this site. On occasion I still can almost taste them, but nothing is the same and no one remembers these.

I feel like I've found my people. YESSSSS! Loved the Fruit Wrinkles (and the Garfield ones) and can remember how they tasted to this day (orange were the best!). Jean, I'm on board with you to bring back the Wrinkles!!!! Can I still sign your petition? I will email you.

Omg ive been thinking of fruit wrinkles and fruit bars for like a week straight now god i want them NOW!!

I'm not alone!!!! Can we submit this entire thread to General Mills?!?!?!?!?!

I am fruit snack obsessed and about fifteen years ago wrote a letter to Betty Crocker and asked "her" to bring back my beloved fruit wrinkles. The company responded that they were discontinued due to lack of demand, but I am obviously not alone with this obsession. BRING BACK FRUIT WRINkLES!

carrie re-write the letter and submit this link with it. i miss and crave these things quite often. today's "fruit" snacks don't even come close. shame, miss them.

No one seems to remember the fruit punch flavored Fruit Wrinkles. I considered those a runner-up to orange, though. Orange Fruit Wrinkles feature prominently in my memories of my 8th birthday at Disney World. Flavor-wise, Betty Crocker's Scooby-Doo fruit snacks remind me of Fruit Wrinkles, but their texture is smoother and firmer.

I have been searching far and wide for you people I crave fruit wrinkles and bars on a daily basis.... Is that weird? How do we get them back

I MISS FRUIT WRINKLES... O man these were so good.. I would eat these things in class with my orange minute made soda... And one day they were just gone.. I agree please BRING THESE BACK!!!!

Oh man, I loooooved fruit wrinkles. They were the best. I wish so much that they still sold these:( All the original fruit snacks were so much better than the ones they have out now.

Omg! I'm so happy other people remember fruit wrinkles too! Would love to have more!

OMG!! I Loved Fruit Wrinkles. I remember going to the corner store and buying a box, strawberry flavor, just for me. You couldn't get me to share those with anyone. They were like a special treat and for some reason I loved going to the store on a Saturday morning. General Mills definitely needs to bring them back using the same recipe.

I remember my mom bought a whole case of them from Pace aka Sam's Club and she "hid" them under her bed so I wouldn't eat them all at once. Needless to say I would go in and get a pack almost everyday. They were such a delicacy!! It makes me so sad when I ask my friends who are around the same age as me if they ever ate them and they just look at me like I'm weird. Fruit Wrinkles made me so happy. If they haven't changed the nasty chemical taste of fruit roll-ups then sadly, I don't think Fruit Wrinkles will make a come-back. I think it has become too costly for General Mills to incorporate real fruit. Bastards...and they wonder why the new generation could care less for fruit-roll ups.

Aww these were great! I remember me and my friend Alicia used to sneak off and I would pour these on her butt and eat them!

I'm one of the kids in the advert they only gave us a box each after filming and you could only get them in the USA so I never got to have anymore:(

Came out in 86 and the little fruit creatures were called Fruitons!

My sister and I absolutely loved Fruit Wrinkles!!! We talk about them all the time and how we wish someone, somewhere would bring them back! Those were our favorite snack as little girls...we miss them for sure, no other fruit snack today compares!

Ohhhh, this brought back so many memories!!! Opening the package that was lined in foil and kind of powdery, and then the fruit wrinkles fell out. Strawberry and grape!!!

I loved Friut Wrinkles!!! I miss them so much! I also miss the old Fruit Roll Up formula...you know, the one that had actual texture and real fruit flavors!! Banana, Grape, Cherry, Strawberry, Peach, Orange... I miss them all!!

FYI the closest thing I've found: I just ate a Trader Joe's brand "Fruit Bar" with flax and chia seeds (barely notice them) and it tastes very much like old school strawberry Fruit Wrinkles, which I was obsessed with. The texture is also similar, a little less dense and more sticky, but very yummy

Love love love the orange ones!!

These were the best fruit snacks ever!! My parents would buy boxes of them for my brother and I. I love when they would get extra squishy when I have the packet in my pocket. How can we bring these back?!?!

I Apsolutely loved these as a kid and wish we could bring them back they were the best fruit snacks ever I’ve tried so many others nowadays and then none of them compare the fruit wrinkles

Searched all over the internet to try to find a box. I’d eat the whole thing and not care how many decades old it is
