THERE have been so many fruit snacks over the years, but fans are still hung up on one that's long gone.

General Mills is responsible for some of the most iconic childhood snacks.

From Fruit Roll-Ups to Gushers, people couldn't get enough of the fruity, chewy snacks.

There were so many iterations of the fruit snack that it can be easy to forget some, but there was one that fans are still talking about to this day.

Fruit Roll-Ups Stackerz were little circle-shaped pieces rather than a single sheet.

They could be stacked on top of each other to make different flavor combinations, and everyone loved how satisfying it was to peel the circles off the packaging.

The snack was introduced in 2006 and pulled from production in 2014 - keeping them around long enough for people to notice when they were discontinued.

Back in 2008, someone tweeted: "fruit roll-up fruit Stackerz are the most amazing snacks on the planet!"

People are still thinking about them to this day.

Several people have tweeted about the snack, asking what happened to them and if they'll ever make a comeback.

"Can we bring back fruit roll up Stackerz," a fan tweeted in January.

Another demanded: "BRING BACK FRUIT ROLL UP STACKERZ."

The U.S. Sun reached out to General Mills to see if we can expect to see the stacked snack back in stores, but have yet to hear back.

GUSHING WITH DISAPPOINTMENT

As we mentioned, General Mills also makes Gushers under the Betty Crocker label.

Fans of the Watermelon Blast variety took to Twitter after they noticed the flavor wasn't on shelves anymore.

After one person asked the company to bring the flavor back to stores, it reponed: "We'll let our team know that you're missing Watermelon Gushers. Thanks!" 

But the snacks haven't been seen since.

In a last-ditch effort, fans started a Change.org petition to try and get the Gushers back, garnering over 700 supporters.

"Gushers have been my all time favorite snack since childhood," the petition read. "I still eat gushers on a regular basis, as do many others.

"We continue to enjoy them and we hope to pass them down to our children."

It goes on: "However, one discontinued flavor I crave and I miss all the time and everyone misses is the watermelon blast flavor. This was my favorite flavor as a kid. Please sign this and help me get them back."

There is no word on if the flavor will be brought back.
