If you call yourself an older millennial, then you definitely grew up with Fruit Stripe gum, its wildly erratic zebra mascot, and the brightly colored sticks of gum with bold fruit flavors that lasted almost as long as it took you to read this sentence. Almost.
However, according to Fruit Stripe’s manufacturer, Ferrara Candy, the gum is being discontinued. (That’s big news to anyone who didn’t think it was discontinued about the time “Hannah Montana” went off the air.) “We have made the difficult decision to sunset Fruit Stripe Gum, but consumers may still be able to find the product at select retailers nationwide,” a Ferrara Candy representative said in a statement.

I guess I feel a small bit of shame for reading this deep in a dumb argument for a laugh, but we all have our guilty pleasures.
Right there with you man
You’re arguing that you should feel ashamed of yourself. So congratulations.
You don’t seem to be aware that you’re responding to multiple people at this point, with some of us here to mock the entire comment chain and others who are straight up trolling you to get you to engage. I’m the former.
yeah, I’ve gotten more than one of you to engage in a stupid argument about gum. and you feel good about that? like you’ve done that adult thing by engaging, as a group, in a shitty, petty, and childish exercise?
congratulations, shitbags! you’ve proven that you can all sink to the lowest level! take a bow!
It’s kind of funny.
enjoy laughing at yourselves, because you are the joke
I’m glad to have brightened your day then.
wow, you will do anything t take credit for something.
no dice
No, the correct response would be “I didn’t say you were a good joke”
