Frooties candy is a chewy, fruit-flavored candy that was first introduced in the United States in the early 1970s. The candy is made by the Tootsie Roll Company, which is based in Chicago, Illinois.

Frooties were created as a spinoff of the Tootsie Roll, which had been a popular candy since it was first introduced in 1896. The Tootsie Roll Company wanted to expand its product line and capitalize on the popularity of fruit-flavored candies, so it developed Frooties as a fruit-flavored alternative to its classic chocolate candy.

Frooties were an instant success and quickly became a popular candy across the United States. They were marketed as a fun, fruity snack that was perfect for kids and adults alike. The candy was originally available in just a few flavors, including cherry, grape, and lemon, but over the years, the company has expanded the flavor lineup to include a wide range of fruit flavors.

Today, Frooties candy is still produced by the Tootsie Roll Company and is available in a variety of flavors, including watermelon, green apple, blue raspberry, and strawberry. The candy is sold in individual pieces, as well as in larger bags and boxes. Frooties continue to be a popular candy among people of all ages, and their chewy texture and fruity flavors make them a fun treat for any occasion.
