I then ate the gum. It was crumbly and there was a bit of bitterness to it as well as the sweetness. Overall it wasn't very good.

OMG! Better you than me. You chewed the gum, right, you didn't actually eat it?

Yeah I just chewed it. But it was so crumbly that only a tiny amount remained to chew after thirty seconds or so.

A law of physics says that matter can be converted into energy, but it cannot simply be lost. So somehow, in some way, your body must've absorbed that substance which was once gum.

I operate under the same premise upon which vaccines are based. Whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger!



The above shots were taken after I chewed the gum.

It was one of the five Grateful Dead inspired/sanctioned T-shirts that I bought at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. Here are a couple more:





The T-shirts were symbolic of Lithuania rising from the dead of Soviet rule as a country.

You are braver than I am. I don't even like stale potato chips.

Who can ever forget the gum we got in the packs with all of the powdered sugar on them!

Wasn't bad, never threw it away, but not up to Super Bubble or Bazooka, my favorites.

I still dream of it! The best gum of them all though was in Parkies/Zip Hockey:

1960-61



1961-62



1962-63



1963-64





The Zip gum in the Parkhurst packs was thicker and in only one section. But it was juicier than that in Topps packs and had a luscious cherry(?) flavour. Any 70+ Canadian boy will confirm that it was the best!

Zip Bubble Gum was evidently also sold in penny twists:



I never saw Zip in my neck of the woods though. London was O-Pee-Chee country and Fleer Dubble Bubble was the only penny gum that offered a challenge to Bazooka's hegemony.
