I remember in 1973 my parents took us on a trip to Washington DC and we were checking out the sites like the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. My mom kept scolding me for reading the comics and jokes from my bubble gum packets. She asked, "Years later do you want to tell people you didn't see your nation's capital because you were busy reading bubble gum comics?" So I guess that time has come. In DC in '73 when Nixon was President and going through stressful times, I was there in DC reading bubble gum comics.

I'm remembering, being on the downhill side of 'ol Bazooka Joe, was I breaking down the gum or busting my teeth......

Your Mom was right and you’re not doing her justice.

What is the most pieces of bazooka you ever chewed up all at once?

LOL. I never tried to cram a lot in there, but I had a pretty big collection of bubble gum jokes at one point. Also had a pretty decent football card collection that included Staubach's rookie card.
