We got some of this altoids extra sour and extra minty gum for Easter and it's pretty good.

I kinda like the kind of gum like Orbitz or something too.

My all time favorite is either Gatorade gum or Quick Kick gum. I don't know if you can buy that anymore.

Also tearjerkers.

For some reason, there are three of these:

It's ok.

I like the little gumball on the toe of the pink panther ice cream thing that the lady sells from the ice cream van that drives around my neighborhood.

Did she ever have you in the back of the van and touch your naughty parts?

Okay. There are a number of copycat threads which could be launched from here. However, I am a gentleman and I shall not post them.

I used to dig that stuff when I was a kid. Then I saw Major League pitchers mixing it with actual terbacky and blowing brown bubbles n stuff. Kinda ruined it for me.

"Hey, Ace, you got any more of that gum?"

Dr. Pepper was my all time favorite. Also like the Labron James lightening lemonade gum. It good as well.

Not gum related but I'm really digging the spermint altoids mints.

The fellow that gets the locker room all supplied for the Sooners always puts a package of Orbitz Cinnamon on top of each uniform before each game. He use to give them Dentyne but the players complained that Dentyne lost its flavor too quickly. :)

That's an NCAA violation.

I like the altoids peppermint gum. I haven't tried the others altoid gums yet.

When i was a kid, Hubba Bubba Grape was my chew of choice.

Those bubble gum cigars from way back were pretty good....I know they had grape and apple, not sure what else.

I don't know if this stuff is/was available in Canada only, but if you ever see a pack, don't pick it up. (Read the label for your clue)

ABC gum! ;)

Man, that was a funny joke back in elem. school.

They don't make Gatorade gum anymore, but Mueller (the sports med peeps) make pretty much the same thing called Quench Gum. It might even be the same recipie. They sometimes have it at Walgreens. I ordered a family sized tub. :D

Here's one link to get a tub: http://www.athletegift.com/products/quench.htm

I tried this once:

And I have never chewed anything else.

I'll chew mostly any flavor of Orbit, except I don't like spearmint or orbit white.

During OU games, I have to have the cinnamint kind. During Hornets games, I go with wintermint. That's how I roll.

I really like Orbitz. As a kid I thrived on Bubble Tape, Bubbleliscious(However it's spelled), Dr. Pepper Gum, and Big League Chew.
BRB, I need to go take out my dentures. :)

So, you've only chewed gum one time in your entire life?

Nope... I chewed other gums, knowing they were quite gummy, until someone handed me a peice of heavenly orange orbit. I havent chewed any other kind or flavor of gum since that time.

Thanks for the heads up. Picked some up over the weekend and it is good.

Extra Cool Watermelon is greatness. Except the flavor doesn't last very long.

I bought some Cinnamint orbit the other day. It's didn't exactly blow my socks off or anything. It's almost exactly like Big Red except it costs more.

Oh, and how does a little piece of gum with no sugar in it have 5 calories?

When I was a kid I'd eat Fruit Stripe gum.

Just chew it up good enough to get it down my neckhole.

Isn't that incredibly bad for you? Do your burps still blow bubbles?

It takes seven years to digest swallowed gum.

And the bubbles are disgusting.
