Good Gum

Some of my fondest memories as a youngster was collecting hockey cards. After saving your allowance you headed off to the convenience store to buy a pack of eight cards for 15 cents (yes I am that old).  The added joy of each package was the included piece of bubble gum.  The gum tended to be "dusty" (hopefully leaving the top card of your pack unscathed) and hard.  If the card/gum had been sitting around for a while there was a good chance you could cut up your cheek and/or chip a tooth.  It's a shame they no longer include gum in sports cards; today's youth is missing out on one of life's pleasures.
