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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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. :( )
Amy - March 03, 2009 - Report this comment
Thanks SZA. That sucks. Maybe another company could produce something in the near future that tastes the same.
SZA - March 03, 2009 - Report this comment
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.)

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 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 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!!!
Bunnie - November 11, 2009 - Report this comment
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!!!!

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.
Jean - January 01, 2010 - Report this comment
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!!
Eric Ebacher - January 01, 2010 - Report this comment
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.

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 :-)

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!

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.

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.
