Keep in mind that the absence of gum was a gradual process. When I was a kid the wad of gum in a pack of cards was huge. As the years passed it got smaller, until it disappeared altogether. It was an insidious trick perpetrated on the youth of America.

And I blame the whole thing on Millard Fillmore. It was his policies that got us into the no gum in packs mess. In fact I blame pretty much everything on Millard Fillmore.
