Does anyone remember the fun fruits or fruit chews or whatever you want to call them that Nintendo made? They are kinda like Gushers but without the juice in the middle - just to kinda help paint a picture. They had shapes like mario, luigi, princess, stars, mushrooms, etc. Reason I ask - if anyone else can remember as well - is because they ran a promotion in that if you found a blue Princess Peach then you won a free NES system. Anyone remember this? I remember my step dad would watch me and my brothers eat them (I was like 5 at the time so about 18 or 19 years ago) so that if we came across the blue Princess he could snatch it before we ate it! lol

Anyone remember this? I'll see if I can find a pic of it somewhere.

I scammed people on NintendoAge a while back. Since then, I've been unwelcome. Do not do business with me!

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Really? I wish I had known. I'd like to get me a box for collector's keep.

Here's a pic I found. Apparently they had Zelda and Mario boxes.

I used to get them as a kid all the time... I started collecting some of the candies recently, just so I can have them in 10-20 years time.

I did too. lol Of both Mario and the Zelda. Reason I ask is because I'm curious if anyone ever won the free NES system. Anyone remember if someone claimed the blue Princess?

I always wondered about promotions like this, such as the ones that used to be for M&Ms.  I would imagine that it would say 'You've won!' somewhere inside the box or package rather than you mailing someone a piece of the candy.  There had to be a mark somewhere that they would have had for verification.
