Those Bugs Bunny Fruit Snacks were part of a series of Warner Bros character fruit snacks and the other fruit snacks in the series were Tazmanian Devil Fruit Snacks. I remember eating these fruit snacks as a child and they were really good. Speaking of foods with Looney Tunes characters Tyson made Looney Tunes Meals in 1990 which were kids TV dinners based on Looney Tunes characters favorite foods
