So I’m still not sure why the idiots at Archer Farms decided to change their fruit strips from delicious, thick fruit strips to foul-tasting plastic, but the fact remains that they did. I took a trip to Target last weekend and checked out their selection of fruit strips. Sure enough, every single box has switched to the new ones.
