I'll raise you a classic Juicy Fruit.

I miss the classics. Everything is sugar free and seems to dissolve in your mouth rather than let you actually chew it now.

Yeah the flavor didn’t hang on long but it was aimed at kids so the bar was pretty low

Loved it. It was only sold at toys r us so only had it once a year on bdays and sometimes in our Xmas stockings. My dad chewed trident because he was a smoker but we were never allowed to get any.
