I just found a Fruit Roll-up from 1995.
Did you get that? I said 1995!
Saving mementos from my past has just elevated to another level.
I found it on a Volleyball “team spirit” poster that most likely was taped to my locker by an upperclassmen. Apparently it was way too cool to eat.
In 1995.
Now, almost 15 years later I find it at the bottom of a box shared with newspaper clippings, report cards, and homecoming programs.
I decided it deserved to be opened after all these years.
What resulted was a perfectly preserved Fruit Roll-up smelling deliciously of strawberries. It looks and smells exactly the same as it did when I used to wrap them around my finger and eat them for snacks.
In 1995.
Now the questions is — should I eat it?
In 2009?
