I should immediately qualify -- they are not gone forever, not wiped from the earth, not banished to another country -- it's just that they are gone and have been gone from *my* diet for many many years.
[Note -- I'd gladly ingest them again if they were used to make little edible books like the image shows (and like in the link provided).]
I take my fruit now without it being flattened and processed -- but I am reminded that it once was de rigueur when it came to my school lunches back in the day (apparently, it came to market in 1980 -- when I was eight years old and a target customer -- and no doubt it was "an invention" because of the space shuttle, as were so many developments of that time) every time one of these competition cooking shows throws a twist in and makes the cheftestants do something with "fruit leather" (I'm guessing fruit roll-up is a name brand that's copyrighted ... so maybe I shouldn't be saying it in my post as I am?)
Chewy bits of sugar with just a touch of fruit (or artificial fruit flavoring ... or whatever it is that makes it what it is) ... when it comes to what I eat, you are missed.
