I mind as little as 5 years ago ye could’ve walked into any wee cornershop and found this at the till next to all the extra but now it’s gone. It wasn’t the best gum in the world but it was nice to have every now and then, that was until it somehow disappeared without a trace, either that or I’m not looking in the right places.

  2. Bubbly was nicer. But only for 90 seconds, then the flavour disappeared.

  4. Please don’t tell me you can’t get Juicy Fruit any more! I used to live on that stuff when I was a kid (a very very long time ago).

  5. One of my mates swore blind Juicy Fruit had the ability to bring back your high really strong when you were on the old pills back in the early 2000s. Usually banged two strips and fruitily chewed the bake off himself 🤣🤣🤣

  6. I know a lad can get you some at a good price. That and Creamola Foam

  10. I wouldn’t say I have the most refined palate in the world, but I’m 100% convinced Extra White Bubblemint is as close as you’ll get to the same flavour.

  11. Still in your gut trying to be digested for those of us that swallowed it within the past seven years by all accounts

  15. I can’t view this image without having the urge to tell everyone in the near vicinity it was the first product to be scanned with a barcode, even though they’ve already heard it a million times

  16. Who remembers Beechnut gum , I used to get it from a vending machine outside of a wee shop at Balloo.

  19. Whááaaaa, now what about bazooka bubble gum? And bazooka Joe cartoon, if you collected so many you got a pair of x-ray specs you could see though females dresses, this was depicted, just started school, really

  21. Creamola foam and vodka one night 5 of us skint

  22. Was working in Liberia about 8 years ago and one of the local guys working with me gave me some coffee flavoured gum, wasn’t bad at all.

  24. Worst chewing gum, no flavour left after about 3 chews.

  25. Never spat it out, just chewed and swallowed the entire packet.

  29. I put a piece in some womans letter at the airport the other day.

  33. Once there were no more school desks to glue shut with it, they went out of business…

    I’m probably showing my age, but this gum is the smell of school desks. We went to a school which had most classrooms with the old wooden “hinge-top” desks with space for books underneath and the hole at the top for an inkwell. There was always a pile of chewing gum inside under the ink well or when you lifted the desk gum stretched out from where people tried to glue the top down with it. And it stank of juicy fruit.

  34. Probably all swallowed like the ones I’ve ever tried to chew.
