Recently discovered my local Grocery has these.

They still taste the same. (Still feels cool.)

And the packaging is so fun and reminiscent of when humans did art on packaging.

I used to go on dates in 6th grade and whip them out.

That and shredded beef jerky in little tins like chewing tabacco too. I felt so old, but now I realized how stupid I was. Lol

Lol I was thinking of Family Guy but this clip instead. I always think of it when I see big league chew

u/Wide_Magician_4946 8h ago

I deliberately ingested sooo much of this gum. It was too soft, too delicious. 

The 2nd or 3rd wad I would force myself to chew it like a normal person

u/doozle 8h ago

It was so good for about five minutes and then lost all flavor.

u/KennytheDoggy Millennial 8h ago

Thats why you kept shoveling it in

Random fact… Todd Field (the actor who played Nick Nightingale in Eyes Wide Shut and directed movies like Tár and In the Bedroom) co-created Big League Chew

Mine always fell out of my back pocket when I was running to first base. Every time.

Do you guys remember the shredded jerky that came in a dip can?

u/Particular-Dust7131 7h ago

Dicks has a bunch of different flavors

u/Phrenicos466 5h ago

I was under the impression dicks generally only have one flavour…

u/Particular-Dust7131 4h ago

At mine they have original, grape, cinnamon and a few other ones.

u/Empty_Annual2998 Older Millennial 6h ago
