    If I could cast a spell to rid the world of chewing gum, I’d do it twice.

    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.

      Have you tried the niccorette gum? I was able to quit in month using the gum. In the end I stopped chewing the gum without even thinking about it. I didn’t switch to vaping either.

      Imo it’s gotta be the brand name gum, I tried the Amazon off brand and it had zero flavor. With the niccorette gum there was a slight burning sensation when first biting into it, and it had the standard artificial sweetener taste that most gum has (aspartame). Not the same with the Amazon’s.

        Yeah, but may try again cause when I first got some it was an offbrand type.

      Loved bazooka gum. Wrapped in a comic strip.

      My favorite was probably Big Chew.

      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.
