VIDEO: An American Couple Was Caught Smuggling 375 Pounds of Fruit Roll-Ups into Israel

Adding an extra checked bag to a flight isn’t cheap. So just imagine how much these things must be worth on the black market!

A couple from the U.S. flew to Israel last week, and were caught trying to smuggle in 375 pounds of FRUIT ROLL-UPS.

An American couple was caught trying to smuggle 375 POUNDS of Fruit Roll Ups into the State of Israel after prices skyrocketed once the snack became part of a viral TikTok trend.

Did you pack your bags yourselves and also are they full of exclusively candy? pic.twitter.com/GtGh76Z9n9

TikTok is obsessed with a hack where you wrap them around a scoop of ice cream. So they’re harder to find than usual, especially overseas.

Pretty much all stores in Israel are sold out. If you do find them, they’re going for $5 each, or more…not per box, that’s per Roll-Up. A box of 10 here usually costs less than $3!

Customs agents in Israel seized the snacks. Someone posted a video of multiple suitcases filled with nothing but Fruit Roll-Ups. The guy told them he didn’t even pack clothes, just so he’d have more room.

This wasn’t just a one-off though. Another American couple was caught with over 70 pounds of Fruit Roll-Ups the other day.

Israel says they’ve seized more than 660 pounds total recently!

What a time to be alive!
