It could have changed the world. There could have been RockStar gum by now, as well; or is there?

Ew, I think I actually was into this at some point.

You mean it's gone?

I don't think it's gone, but it's Orbit et al have stolen the boutique gum fire.

Is salty gum outdated?

― andy --, Friday, 10 June 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

I know they still make bubble gum that looks like chewing tobacco.

Thank jehovah. Two kinds of chew: Big League Plug and Tape-Gum in a chew-like tin.

Hell yes.

GatorGum had a certain mystique. It was like adult gum, like Chlorettes or something. Or AYDS chocolate dieting chews.

I met someone at the New Order DJ set after their show in New York who was toting a full pack of Big League Chew. She didn't offer me any, though, she just wanted to show it off. :(

They have changed the man on the front of the package to have less neck hair.

is GatorGum the same as that Mueller stuff they'd sell at sports stores, that would make your lips go inside your mouth?

gatorgum was DELICIOUS, very tangy. just thinking about it teases my taste buds.

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 10 June 2005 23:37 (twenty years ago)

It lost all its flavour in about 10 seconds but it was good. Good feeling = the jaw ache from putting an entire pack of Big League Chew in your mouth at once.

Dude, Gatorgum was refreshing dude!!!! Big league chew was so try and dusty

― Cool Hand Luuke (ex machina), Saturday, 11 June 2005 03:49 (twenty years ago)

I got da juice.

― Bryan (Bryan), Saturday, 11 June 2005 03:51 (twenty years ago)

GatorGum's big gimmick was that it was the gum that would quench your thirst.....which is, well, odd. (I mean, why not just drink something?)

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 11 June 2005 03:52 (twenty years ago)

Alex, don't be such a rockist!

― Cool Hand Luuke (ex machina), Saturday, 11 June 2005 03:59 (twenty years ago)

What was that chocolate gum called? It was poopy. Maybe the "wanna piece of gum? CHEW MY RUBBER BUM!" joke just went too far.

― Bryan (Bryan), Saturday, 11 June 2005 04:02 (twenty years ago)

It's not very easy to drink WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING IN THE OUTFIELD.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Saturday, 11 June 2005 04:11 (twenty years ago)

I seem to remember it simply made me more thirsty.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 11 June 2005 04:15 (twenty years ago)

now we've got altoid sours! which are too damn expensive.

― JD from CDepot, Sunday, 12 June 2005 01:44 (twenty years ago)

(it took me a while to figure out that it wasn't called "choward's")
