I'm 60 and I love fruit snacks. There, I said it. I especially love them when there's a card in the pack.
My wife was in Florida visiting a daughter and went to the store to buy her some snacks. She found these good-for-you fruit rolls and bought a box. She might not have realized that there were cards included since she tends to focus more on ingredients. When I came to visit later, my other daughter who was also there visiting showed me the cards that she had already pulled. "Sweet! I want them all" was my immediate reaction.
Twelve packs, or better yet, twelve cards per box.
The packs come with two fruit rolls and one animal card.
(I had to promise my wife that I wouldn't eat them all at once, that I'd only open one pack a day!)

I can't remember the last time a food issue was easy to collect in my area. My only other non-sport collections are Animated Batman and some other comic cards, but the artwork on these really caught my eye. And hey, it's a food issue. How can you NOT be sucked in to going after the set?

Each back has a different fun game.

Currently I have 23 of the 60 cards, these are my top 9 favorites so far, although the Eagle above will probably replace one of these.
I've already pulled a few dupes, so after you rush to the local Wallymart and buy up all the stock, let me know about your dupes and maybe we can trade!
Depending on the flavor fruit snacks a pretty good. A card in every pack instead of one per box isn't bad.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the brand? I live in Florida, so I can probably pick some up
ReplyDeleteBear brand. She got them at a Walmart in Jacksonville.
DeleteShe found 2 more boxes for me here in Texas
DeleteI like the cards. ... Can't say I've ever been tempted by a fruit roll-up, not even when my daughter was peak fruit roll-up stage and we had a constant stock.
ReplyDeletealmost half way there.
ReplyDeleteThey're not for me, but this is the sort of thing that I'd love to see make a comeback. Hopefully they're going over with the younger crowd, as these are the kind of cards that, at least in the old days, were responsible for creating new card collectors.
ReplyDeleteNothing like eating fruit snacks especially the strawberry flavored & grape flavored type
ReplyDeleteA. I love fruit snacks. When I was a kid, I'd beg my mom to let me go to the fruit section and pick out my favorite flavored fruit roll-ups.
ReplyDeleteB. I've purchased these before. A few years ago, they had these at either Costco or maybe New Seasons. Not sure if they are the same cards... but I tried building a set too. I'd have to do some serious digging to find them. They might even be in a draw in my classroom... since that's where I ate most of them.
Fun stuff. Curious how many of these are mascots that team collectors could use. And of course Night Owl needs an Owl.

ReplyDeleteSilly wife, checking the ingredients! Good luck with the set chase!
