View Full Version : Twenty-Five Year Old Gum
Sean Snow 07-29-2001, 06:50 PM Anyway, today I bought a packet of Welcome Back, Kotter cards that are 25 years old. It came with the gum. Anyway, the gum is HARD as a rock. I dropped it and I heard a thud. So, I bet my dad to eat it, but he's worried that old gum can make you sick. Well, can it?
coily2 07-29-2001, 08:43 PM Umm, I don't know if it can make you sick or not, but I wouldn't worry. That gum was born hard. Back in the day, all collectible cards came with that stick of rock hard pink gum. It used to be the sole reason we bought baseball cards (that, and they made cool noises if you stuck them in your bicycle spokes). Now that cards have become more of a collectible item, nobody would stick gum in there anymore cuz it stains the card.
I'd chew the gum on a bet. I've probably eaten worse things.
Sean Snow 07-29-2001, 08:46 PM I ate half of it. It tasted more like a wrapper, but that's from being in there for 25 years.

Why did you open the wrapper?? That was a collectors item!
Sean Snow 07-30-2001, 12:14 PM The wrapper was already opened. My mom would kill me if I did!

Mossopp 01-22-2002, 03:20 PM I like making chains out of gum wrappers! :D I'm kinda annoyed though cos the chain I'm making at the moment doesn't look very interesting. It's all just green and white cos I can't find that pineapple gum with the yellow wrappers anywhere!!
