Amelia Earhart is shown on Jan. 12, 1935, after the first
Hawaii-to-California flight. She was the first pilot to
succeed at flying the route.

(FOX NEWS) – Aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart departed on a
journey to become the first pilot to successfully fly solo from
Hawaii to mainland United States on this day in history, Jan.
11, 1935. 

The daring flight across a vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean
had claimed the lives of 10 previous aviators. She earned
$10,000 from promoters in Hawaii for her death-defying
achievement.

Earhart also hoped to promote a future in which commercial
air travel closed the distances around the world.

Farewell Address to the Nation | Ronald Reagan (reaganlibrary.gov)

On this day in 1989, after eight years as president of the United
States, Ronald Reagan gave his farewell address to the American
people. In his speech, President Reagan spoke with particular enthusiasm about the foreign policy achievements of his
administration.

In his speech, Reagan declared that America “rediscovered” its commitment to world freedom in the 1980s. The United States
was “respected again in the world and looked to for leadership.”

The candy company, which also produces Red Hots and Runts,
told FOX Business that the move was a "difficult decision."

A spokesperson said, "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.

The statement continued, "The decision to sunset this product
was not taken lightly, and we considered many factors before
coming to this decision, including consumer preferences, and purchasing patterns."

The nostalgic candy came out in the 1960s, and has been
enjoyed by generations of Americans.
