    I tried the Bazooka and Dubble Bubble gum I liked as a kid not so long ago and it was so sweet. I preferred the stuff like Watermelon Bubblicious :9 The cherry cola one was good too. Then they had some double flavors. They really went nuts with gum in the 80s.

      There was a stick of gum in the Sour Patch Garbage Pail Kids cards if I remember right. It was only chewable for 60 seconds before it lost flavor and got hard. Kind of ruined the gum thing for me.

    I found out some friends of mine who moved here from abroad had never had Dubble Bubble, so I bought some and we all had a piece when they came over for Christmas.

    Mid to late 90s. I was never big into chewing gum, and took a stick out of politeness when someone offered.

    phew. Probably ten or twenty years ago. I’m chewing on sugar cane right now though, does that count ?
