Black Jack gum!

TsukiRyoko · Mar 18, 2007

Oh my God this stuff is great! It's licorice-y and good! The flavor fades after 5 minutes, so you have to keep piling it into your mouth, but I still think it's great!

Black Jack gum! Black Jack gum! :e2woo:

I think it might have a little cocaine and a high toxin content, but that's okay because the first 5 minutes are pure joy! It melts in your mouth (something gum isn't supposed to do, but hey, it's a cool effect) and it turns your tongue a little black, but damn is it great!

I like the ginseng gum they sell at the asian grocer downtown. It's yummable.

Airmail me a pound of it! Now!

They used to have this really amazing chocolate-ginger gum (weird combo, I know) and it was soooooooooooooo good.

Teaberry gum isn't bad either. I think the stuff they sell around here are remnants from the 70's and 80's, but it's still damn tasty.

You're crazy! Get your own! I need this gum! Gah, I'm losing flavor! Quick, give me another piece!

Would YOU like some Black Jack gum, tourdy? I can give you a wonderful deal- only $99.99 for a 5 piece package! 5 whole pieces!

Try Clove, by the same company. It'll open up your sinuses and burn your tongue.

alleycat · Mar 19, 2007

Try Skoal.

Wasn't that stuff banned after those kids grew Goitre's because of it?

You've yet to discover the greater use of Blackjack gum, Tsuki. Use your tongue to paste is over a couple of front teeth. From a distance, you're instant single-wide...

Also, that same company made another interesting (good) flavor of gum. I can't remember the name, but it came in a white pack.

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Mar 19, 2007

That would be Beeman's, Neuro.

NeuroFizz · Mar 19, 2007

Thanks, OFG. Beemans was a good one--interesting flavor.

Black Jack was always a favorite of mine. Dang hard to find these days.

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Mar 19, 2007

If you're really hooked and gotta have a fix (no matter the price!), you can find old candies here. I've ordered from them - pricey, but worth it for old loves.

NeuroFizz · Mar 19, 2007

I thought my favorite retro outfitter, Seattle's own Archie McPhee, would have BlackJack, but this is all they have:

(I have no financial tie to Archie McPhee's except they take too much of my money)

MidnightMuse · Mar 19, 2007

Hey, Archie's is a great place, you can get lost in there for hours!

I Want Some!

Tell me, Tsuki, did they have Sen-Sen there, too?

Please, pretty please, send me some?

(Look quick, ya'll; you won't see me begging again)

This Sen-Sen?

Unique · Mar 19, 2007

That's the one. 12 packs? That would last the rest of my natural life.

Of course, if I ate them all at once, my natural life would be very short.

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Mar 19, 2007

Ach! I just noticed it's licorice flavored! ONE packet'd kill me.

BEST GUM EVER! I love black licorice and cloves. Now I have to find out where to get them.

Tried it when I was 8, and my memory of it still very vivid. Uncle offers mini-Tsuki some Skoal, mini-Tsuki takes a large wad of Skoal and begins to enthusiastically chomp on it, Uncle snickers a little when mini-Tsuki's face turns green, mini-Tsuki blows chunks everywhere and uncle can't quit laughing to help.

I'm afraid they had no Sen-Sen. However, I CAN get you chocolate covered crickets, larvae, and earth worms (they taste like peanut M&M's!) and a miracle salve that will heal virtually everything.
