It’s been quite a few years since they sold Fruit Stripe gum in Canada. But here, as elsewhere, it was famous for its amazing taste that lasted all of twenty seconds before becoming tasteless. Are they other products like this, and more specifically products like this in other cultures?
In my experience, this is true of almost all gum.
Fruit Stripe is still occasionally sighted in the wild around here (Texas).
But @Dr_Paprika is right; its flavor is unusually ephemeral, even for gum. You barely get it good and chewed-in(?) before it’s lost all its flavor.
