Fruit Stripe Gum Is Gone Forever
Fruit Stripe Gum Is Gone Forever
Fruit Stipe gum has officially been discontinued. And fans are reeling.
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 can see your handle that you commented something but it's just blank for the comment
It's a video loop of cartoon Spiderman grasping at a disappearing mist. I guess it's a gif but it also has a play/pause function so who knows what format it is.
It's hard to tell what will actually function on Lemmy. I think WebP files that aren't jpegs have been causing grief too, I see a lot of blank posts that are probably that format. A ton of pictures are WebP now even though you'd expect an older format.
Also I'm on desktop, so if you're mobile that might explain things.
Mobile using voyager (not the ios app the web browser version) on lemmy.world
Are you on a client that can't handle gif (or video? looks like it auto-converted) replies? It was the spiderman grasping at dust one
I'm on lemmy.world and using voyager on mobile not the ios app, the web browser
I'm using Chrome to view lemmy.world directly, should be similar. Weird
