Big League Chew bubble gum memories... I remember my sister and I used to stay the night every so
often with my grandma. Even though she only lived 7 miles away it felt like we were so far from home. Our favorite part of our overnight was
the walk in the morning to the local dime store called Beaches. It was only about 5 blocks but our grandma had a bad leg and walked with a
cane so that short walk seemed to take hours.
Once there the first thing we did was check to see if the pony was free. It was one of those
mechanical ones that cost a dime. While one of us rode the other picked out our candy. One of us would always pick out the Big League Chew.
We thought it was so cool to stuff our cheeks with the little strips. We never knew until we got older what "chew" really was.
I didn't know this gum was even still around. I know my little boys would get such a kick out of it
since they know that daddy "chews". Thanks for the memories. ~ Stephanie from Minnesota
I remember when I was a really little girl, I loved baseball. I would watch baseball games on TV with
my grandparents, and I would buy baseball cards by the box full, and I would always buy Big League Chew Bubble Gum because it was the
coolest thing to what the real ball players chewed. I loved the shredded texture and fruit flavors, and of course the closeable pouch it
came in.
I remember one time in specific, my father surprised me with tickets to go see the Detroit Tigers
play baseball against the California Oakland A's. I was so excited! My dad bought me a bag of Big League Chew Bubble Gum to take with us to
the game, I would chew it by the mouthful, my cheeks stuffed with the gum, and I would try to spit just like the players on the field spit
their tobacco. I had a blast.
After the game, when we were leaving, I met Jose Canseco, and proudly showed him my Big League Chew,
and told him that I chewed the same stuff that he did. He winked at me, and played along and told me that it was his favorite also! I won't
ever forget that. ~ Ashley from Michigan
