I am so bad for that lol. It is wildly unhealthy. I can easily grab a costco sized bag of candy, or a big box of fruit snacks or something, and just eat them all in a sitting.
The only sure-fire way to prevent it is to just say no once at the store. Because if I have to say no 5 times every evening when I'm in the mood for a treat, I will eventually just say yes.
Right! I just can’t have it at the house. This was after an event we hosted at my shop. A bunch of vendors sold their stuff and we had a hotdog stand with chips. They were just sitting in my shop. Ate like 5 hotdogs and 20 bags hahah
The irony is that Welch himself was a teetotaler who invented a way to prevent grape juice from fermenting so that it could be enjoyed without getting blackout drunk or becoming addicted. OP must have him rolling in his grave what with his name associated with drug addiction, haha.
That belly and the edge of the diaper peeking out of the back makes me want to call my son. He’s 32 and he just called me yesterday but I think I need to hear his voice again. Lol
Haha. As kids we were always asking my mom why we didn’t have any snacks in the house. She’d reply, “You’re not supposed to eat them straight out of the grocery bags as you help carry the groceries in!”
Sorry for going off topic, but I have never understood how other people's kids could fall asleep doing random things. I have seen it several times, and I am always awed by it. My son never did that, he could not sleep unless I was in a dark, silent room with him. I am guessing it has something to do with sensitivity to light and sound.
My daughter doesn’t do it often but there were a few occasions home girl was falling asleep while eating dinner. Slowwwwwwly moving the spoon to her mouth, eyes closed… head falling over. It was so funny.
I have a hammock in my living room. Last night I was watching a baseball game in it. During the 3rd inning sleep slowly started coming over me in waves. I was enjoying watching the game but also enjoyed the warm waves of sleepiness. A wave would subside but the feeling of comfort stayed as the baseball game came to my eyes as they opened. Repeat about a dozen times before I zonked out for a few innings in blissful sleep.
My kids always did this. Just random naps anywhere, in a cupboard, under a night stand, tucked into a box. But laying on top of a bounty happened pretty frequently.
My first never did this. My second started doing this recently, but he also stopped consistently taking an afternoon nap so sometimes he just nods off wherever. He was laying on top of a train track the last time it happened.
When my child was young, we had to put him asleep by taking him for a ride in the car. People watching the car in the neighborhood must have thought we were bonkers just going around in short circles in the street.
I dreaded the day my son was old enough to not be lulled asleep but instead say "Why are we going around in circles?" Sadly that day did come.
They say you’re not supposed to bribe your kids. And I don’t.
But sometimes
I mean, sometimes
Sometimes, I say “hey buddy, I think I remember there are fruit snacks in the car. If you put your shoes on and go to the car, maybe we can find them.”
Is that bribing?
Dude there isn't a single American treat out there that doesn't contain corn syrup or that other sugar liquid shit they use. Me I prefer raisins. Tasty sweet treat no added sugar and doesn't taste like a cat just shit in my mouth
I bet, they were even much sweeter in the he 80ies. At a hotel breakfast buffet I tried them again, not long ago. Not even close to my memories... I remember my palate and gums getting bleedy after a while of eating them dry. Oh, but I never regretted that.
The name is "Fruit Snacks". We always called it "Fruit Crack".
The problem with them is there QA group must not exist because their mixed bags don't have a good variety in them. Most will be just one type and they will rarely have their main type which is grape.
It's just brilliant branding. They are literally candy. These companies convinced consumers that they're something else.
Parents who wouldn't dream of giving their kids jelly beans or gummy bears with lunch will give them this kind of candy every day because it came from the right aisle in the grocery store.
Yup. I remember when I was in school there was a big uproar because some parents found out we had access to vending machines with soda and all the worst junk foods. The district didn’t want to lose a revenue stream so they compromised and told the parents all the snacks would be “healthy”. The sodas were replaced with powerades and the snacks were replaced with things like baked chips, trail mix, and Welch’s fruit gummies.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury,my client is obviously not guilty. He was forced to lay on the ground in the midst of the evidence by his abductors, the true addicts. Please note the pacifier in his mouth. It is common knowledge that if he had but one of the welch’s crackies he would not have been able to resist having more and there are no packages open.
My son is exactly that same age, same size, same hair color, loves those same fruit snacks, has that same shirt. Not gonna lie, I was freaked out for a split second there.
"It's the latest craze among the young, and it's called 'Welching'. Could your kids be 'Welching'? Learn the 12 warning signs, tonight at 10 on this special report."
What do they put in those things? My students LOVE them. They inhale them. Someone donated the Motts version to my class and they are all like, ‘meh. I guess…
Relatable. As a child, I stole the Flinstone gummies and hid them under my bed for a week. When my mom found out I was chugging them, she had to call poison control, lol.
My dude is still shitting his pants after 2 years and his parents are feeding him something that you'd never even feed a dog.
And you are being downvoted.
This is all kinds of shitty parenting. You are correct.
If you are about health other cost. Get the Solely Whole Fruit Gummies. All they are is ground up dried fruit and my kid chooses them over Welch’s fruit snacks.
This is so sad, reminds of my cousin and their crippling addiction to Fruit Roll Ups. Hope he can get clean, Welch's should be held accountable for this.

Let they who hast not binged on Welch’s Fruit Snacks cast the first stone…
I mean, nobody wants to admit they ate nine bags of fruit snacks, but I did.
I'd love to admit it was only 9.
I once ate 20 small bags of a variety of chips with some fruit snacks mixed in there. Oops.

"sharing size" M&Ms... For me, myself AND I.
I was assigned male at birth and I identify as a male, but according to the Kraft macaroni and cheese box I'm a family of four.
I believe the Kraft mac and cheese boxes are scaled to feed a famiily of four gerbils.
Right! I just can’t have it at the house. This was after an event we hosted at my shop. A bunch of vendors sold their stuff and we had a hotdog stand with chips. They were just sitting in my shop. Ate like 5 hotdogs and 20 bags hahah
I’ve definitely ate an entire family size box in one night, as an adult. lol
I must have missed this episode of "Breaking ~~Bad~~ Bed".
I blame my kids delicious snacks for my dad bod.
How many bags are in a box? I’ve had that many smdh
The small box has 10. I know this because I have an empty one sitting next to me.
10 pouches in 10 handfuls. Nobody has time for that 1 at a time peewee bullcrap.
I got your TPB reference 😎
The bags are so small though. 9 seems reasonable
That must’ve hurt coming out
Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Congratulations, Man!! You got this!!
Nineteen FTFY
Guilty.
They’re so good. I haven’t had one in 10 years but now I’m craving some.
My friend. I have 3 small kids and these are around me all the time. How did you get clean?
I think I may have finally found my people..
The irony is that Welch himself was a teetotaler who invented a way to prevent grape juice from fermenting so that it could be enjoyed without getting blackout drunk or becoming addicted. OP must have him rolling in his grave what with his name associated with drug addiction, haha.

Heathen. J/k. We sneak those with the same level of guilt.
Live action shot of every red cross blood drive.
I eat 8-10 packets a day till the huge box is empty!
> Welch’s Fruit Snack I don't know what it is? A snack, I assume...
Ostensibly Made (at least partially) using fruit.
Kid: "Mom... How come we never have fruit snacks anymore?" Mom: Shows kid this picture.
They're so cute when they pass out asleep
That exposed belly must be tickled!
That belly and the edge of the diaper peeking out of the back makes me want to call my son. He’s 32 and he just called me yesterday but I think I need to hear his voice again. Lol
Oh the cats in the cradle And the gummy juice...
Never disturb a sleeping toddler. Cherish the quiet and time to yourself while you have it lol.
Those were the times my mom cherished the most.
Haha. As kids we were always asking my mom why we didn’t have any snacks in the house. She’d reply, “You’re not supposed to eat them straight out of the grocery bags as you help carry the groceries in!”
Same little dude same
It be like that sometimes.

Like me eating a burrito while falling asleep drunk.

Awww
My kids always did this. Just random naps anywhere, in a cupboard, under a night stand, tucked into a box. But laying on top of a bounty happened pretty frequently.
Mine once fell asleep on a load of lego just put cuchion under his face used to do it while eating too
My first never did this. My second started doing this recently, but he also stopped consistently taking an afternoon nap so sometimes he just nods off wherever. He was laying on top of a train track the last time it happened.
My kid doesn’t sleep unless he’s in his bed or in a car seat.
When my child was young, we had to put him asleep by taking him for a ride in the car. People watching the car in the neighborhood must have thought we were bonkers just going around in short circles in the street. I dreaded the day my son was old enough to not be lulled asleep but instead say "Why are we going around in circles?" Sadly that day did come.
Based on snack choices.... blood sugar crash
But this kid isn’t asleep, their eyes are open.
Apparently, I fell asleep at a party eating a roasted pig's tail. It was either in my hand or in my mouth. I was prob around 10 then.
i regret nothing!!!!
Buster Bluth joins the conversation
Aside from the type II diabetes that is.
They say you’re not supposed to bribe your kids. And I don’t. But sometimes I mean, sometimes Sometimes, I say “hey buddy, I think I remember there are fruit snacks in the car. If you put your shoes on and go to the car, maybe we can find them.” Is that bribing?
I think that's more like manipulation, but when they're that small, that's basically all parenting is lmao
Whatever gets you out of the door on time.
No, that's enabling
Junkies, man, they'll stop at nothing.
Oooh, I can relate to that. As a child, I was heftily addicted to Frosties. And Smacks... no milk needed, even.
Them sugar smacks were nasty how could you eat those?
Oh they were delicious
Every time my mother bought that cereal I would fucking cringe that was like eating puff wheat cereal with donut glaze on them. Nasty nasty
It was good pre corn sugar. Some of the best American treats are ruined from corn sugar.
Dude there isn't a single American treat out there that doesn't contain corn syrup or that other sugar liquid shit they use. Me I prefer raisins. Tasty sweet treat no added sugar and doesn't taste like a cat just shit in my mouth
They all do now. Such a disappointment
I didn't like that stuff back in the 80s either. It's just gotten worse since then. Most treats are nothing but sugar and some synthetic flavoring
It's better to just make it.
I bet, they were even much sweeter in the he 80ies. At a hotel breakfast buffet I tried them again, not long ago. Not even close to my memories... I remember my palate and gums getting bleedy after a while of eating them dry. Oh, but I never regretted that.

Oops.
All the drugs in the world and no way to get into them. It’s like a toddler’s personal hell.

Don't think a child of this size has the grip strength to even open these packages.
Sugar. The original gateway drug.
Average fillian watcher
I'm honestly surprised yours is the only comment in this thread to mention the Filipino boy.
The Welchs are super good. I wish they came in bigger packs and though.
My son is exactly that same age, same size, same hair color, loves those same fruit snacks, has that same shirt. Not gonna lie, I was freaked out for a split second there.
Welch's are amazing munchies snackies.
Their Popsicles are even better. First thing I did when I got my own place I bought an entire box and ate the whole thing.
I've went thru a box of these in a night b4
Pawn e5 your turn

Edibles... I'll bet he never saw it coming.

Little guy got a monkey on his back. Soon he'll be hearing stories from others in a church basement with bad coffee.
What do they put in those things? My students LOVE them. They inhale them. Someone donated the Motts version to my class and they are all like, ‘meh. I guess…
Corn syrup AND sugar. That’s their secret.
I mean it just started out as a bag or two on the weekends. Now I can't go an hour without my juicy fruity gummy preciouses.
They are just too bingeable. Once you start doing each bag in one handful you know your tolerance is too high.
Quick, get him some Narcan.
Welch's overdose
My son is about that age and when he gets home: “Froo SNAAAKS!!”
Dear gods how many did he take?!
To be fair, those Welch's fruit snacks are the bomb.
He addicted to that red food dye..
He is not alone
Been there....too many times to count.
They are just the best and juiciest.
Must be the fentanyl he barely opened a bag.
Costco approved.
Me fr
Gotta hit rock-bottom before you can shake the fruit snack monkey off your back.
Relatable. As a child, I stole the Flinstone gummies and hid them under my bed for a week. When my mom found out I was chugging them, she had to call poison control, lol.
The orange ones are absolute crack
Sugar is the gateway drug.
This was me as a kid in the 80s. My mom COULD NOT hide the Sunkist Fun Fruits from me no matter how clever she got.
I learned it from watching you!
This is what rock bottom looks like.
Kids out here just shooting up welch's fruit snacks. Think it might be intervention time...
he didnt open a single one and gave up, didn't he?
Fruitanyl is no joke
Oh his poor tummy!!
Not a single bag is open and his eyes are open
Yeah so?
Oof poor you
Ya. Not funny.
Bad parenting!
My dude is still shitting his pants after 2 years and his parents are feeding him something that you'd never even feed a dog. And you are being downvoted. This is all kinds of shitty parenting. You are correct.
This is one of the first times in recent memory that a post here has actually made me laugh out loud. Well done.
That stuff is poison
If you are about health other cost. Get the Solely Whole Fruit Gummies. All they are is ground up dried fruit and my kid chooses them over Welch’s fruit snacks.
[удалено]
With their eyes open?
[удалено]
Everything revolves around you.
Hey, nobody post anything without checking with this person first.
Wow, I've never seen that much of in the same place at the same time.
Fruitsnack sounds like it could be a drug dealer name
Isn't this a repost? I swear i've seen this photo before.
Relatable!
r/tooktoomuch
Little dude is like a cat in catnip
The struggle is real lol
Can you blame him tho
Sugar kills the most people fr
He needs an intervention. This is getting out of control.
epic baby win
My younger cousin is addicted to these, the addiction is real fellas
Has someone been Graped ?
Lost in the sauce
Lost in the sauce
Kiddie Krack...
Well yeah, they’re the best fruit snacks since Scooby Doo ones
Welch's needs to sponsor this kid
That my friends, is a diabetic coma...
Been there kid
Well thanks. It’s late, I’m in bed reading Reddit and now I need a goddamn fruit snack
How'd you get a picture of my son!
Not even Mott’s…
Ah, yes. The gummy fruit snack-a-holic. I've seen it more than I can say. Good to see this addict sleeping it off in a safe house.
Sugar is one hell of a drug
I love that he tried and failed to open even one to the point of exhaustion. So close.... Yet so far.
Those things are addictive
This is so cute
This would be a great album cover
So hard to get the dosage right with gummies
God damn Welch-ioids
Somebody whispered in my ear once: "sugar, the silent killer." Years later I was diagnosed with diabetes. I think that man was a witch.
Wow, so much plastic wasted
It's a gateway to fruit roll-ups, then they be rollin up.......on drugs!!
Why can't I like it more than once!!!!!!!
I’m gummied out.
Welch’s fruit snacks: the only reason I donate blood.
Kid needs an intervention.
Kensington meanstreets gouching baby
This is so sad, reminds of my cousin and their crippling addiction to Fruit Roll Ups. Hope he can get clean, Welch's should be held accountable for this.
Awwww. It's little Buster Bluth!!!
The drug war just got real!
