Bazooka Bubble Gum
memories... When I was a little
girl about 5 years old, I would walk up to the corner store and buy
Bazooka Bubble Gum by the handfuls, it used to be about 1 or 2 pennies
back then, I did a really silly thing, I will never forget
because I got in trouble for it! I would empty my papers and stuff
from my tote bag and fill it with lots of bubble gum, when my kindergarten
teacher looked in my bag... boy was I in trouble. Till
this day I still carry Bazooka gum in my purse, it's hard to give up
something you love so much. ~ Lisa from Michigan
I remember a
kinder, gentler time each time I see Bazooka bubble gum. As with
virtually any school kid, I wasn't allowed to chew gum in class. But
being one who would look for a way to beat the system, I found two ways
to chew gum in class.
The first was when we were told
to give an oral report on anything we wanted to. I chose bubble gum. In
order to make my report more impressive, I handed out "samples" of
Bazooka bubble gum to everyone in the class and proceeded to teach the
intricacies of bubble blowing. As this was my report, the teacher
couldn't say no.
The other time, I went into class
prepared for the cliché line "I hope you have enough for the whole
class" which every teacher uses to dissuade students from eating in
class. When the teacher saw me chewing gum, she asked the question and I
was ready. I pulled out a bag of Bazooka and handed out a piece to
everyone in class. Fortunately, the teacher had a sense of humor and
allowed us to chew the gum as long as we promised to throw it away
before we left the classroom. The joy of rebellion was alive and living
in my chewing gum. ~ Dennis from New Jersey
