Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

The picture you posted earlier in this thread the same one I used on my new project with Paul and the bandana on his face. Just like Mort that Doc posted.matedog wrote: ↑15 Jun 2022, 6:01pmI still don’t get it.

You've never had Bazooka Joe bubble gum? Bazooka Joe is as American as union busting, celebrity memoirs, and deep-fried salad.matedog wrote: ↑15 Jun 2022, 6:01pmI still don’t get it.

Here's some additional details, but like Doc said, yeah, big time American nostalgia right here.matedog wrote: ↑15 Jun 2022, 6:01pmI still don’t get it.

Yeah I’m familiar with Bazooka Joe gum barely. It was always some weirdly old product in my periphery while I was obsessed with new brands that had cool ads with people in neon jackets doing flips on skis:
Didn’t know BJ had some mascot but thank you Marky for holding my hand through the explanation because I clearly needed it.

Should probably point out that your cool advert from 1989 was advertising a product that started in 1893. Juicy Fruit chewing gum is way older than Bazooka Joe bubblegum that started in 1947.

Juicy Fruit: Enjoy 10 seconds of sugary flavour, then you're just chewing putty.

Re: Sum up EET WEEK in one picture or video
I feel privileged to have been probably the last generation that experienced chewing gum experimentation. There was Hubba Bubba, the non-stick bubble gum; Freshen-Up (aka cum gum) with the liquid centre; Big League Chew, the shredded bubble gum in a pouch. We were pioneers, really, with our decaying teeth and all …

Here's a candy that I don't come across much, but buy lots of when I do: pop rockz. Nobody can or should pass up candy that's also kinetic.

No way, we had some wild gum in my youth: Bubble Tape (6-feet of bubblegum for you, not them!), Cinna/Minta/Fruitaburst, Bubblelicious (THE WORST in terms of flavor fall off), Fruit Stripe Gum, cotton candy Bubble Yum.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑16 Jun 2022, 1:31pmI feel privileged to have been probably the last generation that experienced chewing gum experimentation.
