What exactly IS a fruit roll-up? Besides delicious, I mean. It's not quite taffy, and it definately doesn't fall into the "fruit snack" category. So, what is it? Can we make a pumpkin spice flavored fruit roll-up? I feel like if they've mastered Tropical Fruit Punch and imprinting Sponge-Bob temporary tattoos on them, the geniuses at the fruit roll-up factory should be able to do a little something with squash. As you can tell, I had one of these the other day and realized that this is truly what is missing from my adult life. That, and Gushers.
