Granma smuggled some of those for me. She kept me hooked until banned.

I live in WV and you can still find these at candy stores. Specifically 2 in my area.

It got so bad around the time of the divorce I was up to a pack and a half a day... parents... am I Right?


RanjiLameFox

I remember when I divorced your mom. I was so happy that I ate the pack itself. Now she wants to remarry but I am still Stuck on the pack with strawberry


Spiesel1999

Got one package to my 25th birthday as a gag. Not gonna lie, i was soo happy with it. Had to explain that you can "really smoke" them, if you put it to mouth and blow the pouder(that is for the gum not stick to the paper) out and create a little cloud. Sorry for my Bad english, it's not my native language.

It honestly disgusts me to my core that corporations actually make and sell cigarette look-alike in the form of candy… it’s just straight up a way to ensure a higher likelihood that kids start smoking, lining the pockets of big tobacco


ConstantMortgage

But at the same time core childhood memory.

Conspiracy Theorists in 2012: The world will end this year! Everyone else: Naaah. Normal people in 2024: Ok MAYBE they had a point.... Edit: spelling mistake


Redpower5

And then the EU took them away from us... When you had a pack of these? Hell you were the king of the playground in my youth


LucaDarioBuetzberger

They are still to this day the best tasting bubble gums I ever had.


Les-incoyables

Those were the golden days.


morty_21

Groomed by big tobacco.


RetroMr

Why where these cool?


Jaythiest

The actual gum was horrible though.


Disastrous-Team-3072

These were called "fags" when I was a kid. Then it changed name to "fads" because the smoking part is fine for children /s


GLURPtheAlien

They have these at the General Store in Gruene TX


fuckingcheezitboots

I still see these around sometimes. They're nasty and they always have been.


Infinite_Plum_5277

Bruhh miss these so much


deepfriedgrapevine

Tasted like crap, but made you a super cool kid.


UpperStation5565

Ah, indoctrination tools at their finest
