What is your favorite gum to snack on? How long do you chew before getting rid of it?

I haven't chewed gum in forever. When I used to, I enjoyed the cinnamon one. I think it's called big red. juicy fruit was pretty good, too.

It was never a big seller in MA, too liberal there so distributors don't bring any there.

>How long do you chew before getting rid of it?
Days. Weeks. Longer even. I keep it until I chew it for so long the molecules break down and it disintegrates. Sometimes this happens naturally or if I happen to drink something that sort of dissolves it? I mostly fast during the day but sometimes I'll have a sugar free drink or an amino acid drink with artificial sweeteners that seem to spur the gum to break down.

having worked front line tech support for years i used to live on these little fuckers. i'd go through a pack in a week. but a couple years ago i wound up chipping a molar when biting down on one and that kind of traumatized me (required an expensive root canal to fix)

No. It's still around.
>Big League Chew is an American brand of bubble gum made to resemble chewing tobacco. It was created by Portland Mavericks left-handed pitcher Rob Nelson and bat boy and future filmmaker Todd Field.[1] It was then pitched to the Wrigley Company (longtime owners of the Chicago Cubs) by fellow Maverick and former New York Yankee All-Star Jim Bouton as a healthy imitation of the tobacco-chewing habit common among ballplayers in the 1970s. Big League Chew was introduced in May 1980, in the traditional pink color already seen in established brands of bubble gum. The cartoon-style packaging, originally designed by artist Bill Mayer, comes in colors such as neon green (sour apple) and bright purple (grape). The original shredded R&D concept samples of the product were produced by running standard sheets of bubble gum through an office paper shredder.
>Big League Chew proved controversial due to its association with chewing tobacco. Research has linked children's consumption of candy versions of tobacco products to an increased tendency to take up their real-life equivalents.[3] Currently, it is manufactured in the U.S. by Ford Gum & Machine Company in Akron, New York, after taking over distribution rights from Wrigley and moving production from Mexico at the end of 2010.[4]
>In April 2023, Nelson announced that over a billion pouches of Big League Chew had been sold worldwide.[5]
>Big League Chew is the official bubble gum of the Baseball Hall of Fame.[6] In 2023, Big League Chew announced an additional partnership with USA Baseball.[7]
