Do you remember Chum Gum's twin, Devil Gum? It also sold for about 3 cents a pack and packed a cinnamon wallop for about 2-3 minutes. It, too, was reformed from pre-stressed chicle and usually shattered like asbestos siding when you first popped it in your mouth. (Both it and Chum Gum's individual sticks were wrapped in a plain white paper rather than the Wrigley-style foil wrap and so always arrived at the five and dime store's candy counter in a seriously dessicated state.)

Thanks to you and everyone else for the tooth-corroding memories!
