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.

Help us beat the current shortage by scheduling an
appointment to give blood or platelets: https://rdcrss.org/3SaGpP6

The Red Cross is facing an emergency blood shortage, with the
lowest number of people giving blood in 20 years. Donors of all
blood types are urgently needed to help patients who are counting
on lifesaving blood following accidents, during surgeries, and for treatment of conditions such as sickle cell disease and cancer.

The classic rags-to-riches story got a macho spin in the Oscar-
winning Rocky, which was written by its star, Sylvester Stallone,
and began filming on January 9, 1976. Stallone had his own rags-
to-riches tale: Born in the gritty Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of
New York City, he was a juvenile delinquent who was kicked out
of a number of schools before he turned 15. After attending high
school in Philadelphia and studying drama at the University of
Miami, Stallone moved back to New York and later to Los Angeles,
with dreams of becoming an actor.

When shooting his famous jog through the streets of Philadelphia, Stallone pulled a tendon in his leg and
was taken to a nearby hospital in a wheelbarrow.

Most of the jogging scenes of Rocky jogging were
shot guerrilla-style, with no permits, no equipment,
and no extras. The entire movie w as shot in 28
days.
