Kids these days are missing out on some
great candy. Specifically bubble gum. When I was little I would
always have something sweet in my mouth which is why my teeth were
weak as green tea and rotted away or were easily knocked out. Dubble
Bubble probably accounted for 30% of my tooth rot. These were cheap
as hell and available anywhere. If you had a quarter which was hard
to come by unless Grandmama was feeling generous you had five pieces
and these things would last forever. I would chew these all day and
fall asleep with a wad in my mouth and wake up looking like a spider
had its way with my face. I would even take the wad out and stick it
in my headboard and wake up and pop it in my mouth. Dental care,
schmental care. I love chewing this cheap shit. Open up that package,
lick some of that dust off (whatever the hell that was), and get to
chewing for the next eight hours. Do kids even chew gum anymore? Like
regular ass gum?
Hot Dog Bubblegum was not one of my
favorites but for some reason I would end up with these tiny dicks in
my mouth. They weren't hot or anything and the flavor went away
faster than a Black father but I still liked them. You know that
disgusting Fireball drink that folks like? They tasted kinda like
that but without the horrible aftertaste and questionable sex. They
had a slightly crunchy outside and suddenly cinnamon was forced into
your mouth. These were not one of the cheaper gums so I didn't get it
too often.
