Fruit by the Foot

Fruit by the Foot is a fruit snack made by General Mills. Fruit by the Foot was most popular during the late-1980s–early-1990s [http://agexted.cas.psu.edu/FCS/mk/Docs/YoungPeople.pdf.] , but is still in production.

Fruit by the Foot is very similar to a Fruit Roll-Ups (also a General Mills product), in its presentation of being rolled up within itself, but differs in taste, dimension and consumption methods. It is also similar to the point that people refer to Fruit by the Foot as "Fruit Roll-Ups". The candy is 3 feet long, and has a loop at the end. Current marketing slogans include "3 Feet of Fun!"

The original Fruit by the Foot came with a long sticker which is no longer included because children would stick them all over school property. Since at least the 1990s, the paper backing has been printed with games, jokes, or trivia facts.
