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.
