                          I have really had the best time reading through these! Great idea for a thread (if I do say so myself! )

                          And I remember Gold Rush gum, but when I was in Kindergarten, I loved its sister, Love-Its gum. I used to save the sacks for my little toys, and I even put the sticker label on a jacket and called it my Love-Its jacket. I wouldn't let my mom wash it until the sticker fell off.

                          Anyway, back to the survey!
