Fruit by the Foot


Fruit by the Foot is a rolled up candy that tastes extremely sweet* and vaguely fruity, and allegedly contains 25% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C.

Contrary to its name it is about a metre long.

Being a FBTF virgin, I was challenged to eat an entire one. I managed, but nearly gagged!
