Retro fridays and fruit by the foot

Ah fruit by the foot, despite it's namesake it never felt like it was a foot long, innuendo aside it always seemed like it was a lot shorter. Ok I'm done with those puns now let's move on, it was a thin waxy paper with a long square fruit candy stuck on then rolled up like you would roll up a hose. Yes that was the best example that came to my mind

The paper sometimes had little puzzles or facts or fun designs like watermelon seeds. The candy itself was sweet and quickly nomed and it was bad for your teeth but it sure was yummy. I'm not sure if the fruit by the foot is still made but it was fun while it lasted especially on the playground where kids always wanted a piece
