The other night, while standign in the chek-out line, I saw a pack of Juicy Fruit gum and decided to buy it. I haven't had it in ages. It took me right back to the old neighborhood and the days of my youth. I was a chewing gum gal. Loved Juicy Fruit and Bazooka. Both were rotten for my teeth, but I didn't care back then.

What is your favorite chewing gum?

Do you still blow bubbles?

Chiclets. Do they still have them there? The teeny ones? But, I have'nt chewed gum for yonks and yonks! I could not have them when I was young because I had braces for what seemed like...foreveeeeeer!

I buy gum for my grandchildren though...and my daughter, who's a champion popper. LOL! My younger grandson has not learned to just chew...he swallows them. Then, my granddaughter warns him that it'll bubble at the other end when...

Laine loves Juicy Fruit gum, but she calls it "yellow gum". I like Big Red or some kind of winter fresh or spearmint gum. And I do blow bubbles!

Remember double bubble? I swear I could stick 4-5 in my mouth at once.

Today I like Stride...the flavor lasts forever and the bubbles are easy to blow...yep, I still do.

When I was around 5 I forgot to take my gum out of my mouth when I went to bed...despite my mom telling me to. Sometime during the night it fell out and when I woke up the side of my head was stuck to my pillow...I had long hair and my mother had it all cut off...that pretty much broke me from going to bed with gum in my mouth.

I got into trouble for chewing gum in school. I like bubble gum. But nowadays I chew XTRA CARE Trident because it's suppose to
strengthen teeth. Knew what you mean 'bout gum chewing givin' a gal that carefree feeling.

We had DoubleMint in the house 'cause Mom said it was the only gum that did not stick to her dentures (she lost her teeth after having four kids, before the age of 30)

I loved Bazookas too. No more gum for me. Not with all these teeth coming out! It hurts my jaw to chew!

I remember having Juicy Fruit, Chiclets and Double Bubble. But not often, since it was usually a friend that gave me a piece.

Honest, after the lst hr., I never really enjoyed the chewing gum at that time and now. Not sure why.
