This was partly inspired from the Highlights post. I guess I just assumed all great things from growing up disappeared, like the good cartoons. I remember ALWAYS having a fresh pack of grape Big League Chew as a kid.
DID YOU KNOW? (according to the Big League Chew wikipedia)
- In the Season 3 finale of The Office, Dwight Shrute (Rainn Wilson) is seen chewing and spitting Big League Chew as if it were chewing tobacco.
- Lebron James was reportedly a devoted user of the gum before signing an endorsement deal with Bubbaliscious
- According to the 2005 packaging, over 450 million pouches of the gum have been sold since 1980
When I was younger, I always fantasized about being there in 1985 when they were tossing around names for the product. You know I would have been in the boardroom yelling, “Big Lieb Chew!”
ummmmm, BIG LEAGUE CHEW.
I used to wear this stuff out, man. You can only go with the original flavor though. I felt like their other flavors weren’t up to par.
