I did, but that was 30 years ago. I doubt it's changed much.

I did, from a 1978 Topps baseball wax pack. Powder and hard as hell to get it all out of your mouth.

As a kid growing up in the early 1980's even the new gum tasted like it was 30 yrs old!

The 30 year old gum tastes better than the 40 year old stuff.

I've seen the gum come out of packs still appartently floury-fresh and I've seen it look pretty haloucinagenic (spelling, I know) too. Maybe from moisture? Never too tempted to eat the multi colored stuff, but it the pink stuff still looks worth a try, I can just never get myself to do it. Too little upside to the chance, maybe?

Chewing anthrax would be safer. LOL

I tryed a piece from a 75 mini. It turned into powder almost right away. I then spit it out in the toilet and brushed my teath. Is it possible to get sick from it?

The good news is that science has shown a correlation between chewing old gum, and not getting smallpox.

I ate a bunch new years eve at a party. Was I out of line?

Unfortunately, several of my fillings came out and I had to wait until today to get them replaced.

I chewed 2 or 3 pieces from packs of 1975 at the 2007 Nationals. The taste wasn't really that bad, but what I found is that it dissolved in my mouth after only a few minutes of chewing it.

some of them are pretty good, like the beef stew and not so much the omelet.

Where is Rube? haven't heard him all day...

I'd like to try a 63 Fleer cookie

Flatfoot chewed a piece of gum from the 60's pack he opened on video, didn't he? I'm too lazy right now to find the link, but it was sweet! (the act was sweet, not the gum)
