More Fruit Flavored Candy at the Gym

Back to the gym, after a little rest. I like to work out hard, and then rest. Rest is important. Hard workout, then rest 33 days, repeat. So today I'm in the stretching room and there are other colors of exercise balls, so they no longer resemble lemon drops but rather big, ugly, rubber balls. Then I noticed a light blue object that looked like someone left behind... it was a rolled up yoga mat, a fairly thin one. I am constantly seeing women walking around with these things, but never men. I know men do yoga, too...  do they do it on the hard floor? Do they borrow yoga mats at the yoga place?

So... I thought I could easily take the yoga mat, to be my own, but then I figured someone probably left it and will be returning for it. So I was going to forget about it, but something was bothering me. What was it? This yoga mat reminded me of some kind of food... some kind of candy, specifically. Oh, right, it reminded me of those thin, fruity things, that are rolled up... what are those called?

When I got home, thanks to the Internet I was able to look up a search... so I wouldn't have to bother anyone with this. I typed: "really flat, fruity food rolled up," or something like that, and I was immediately rewarded with results: Fruit Roll-Ups! Of course. Kind of boring, I guess. At least in the UK they're called "Fruit Winders," which is a little more interesting. A similar product is "Fruit by the Foot" which kind of creeps me out because it makes me think that the fruit gets flattened by stepping on it.
