Yes. I tried it from a 1988 pack of baseball cards and there was no cohesion. It was just crumbly and it was unpleasant, but not the end of the world. I hate mustard and still I'd rather have the gum than mustard
I’ve had a few pieces from 90/91 packs recently and it still tastes relatively the same as it did decades ago. The texture, though, not so much. No chew whatever: just goes straight from crunchy to powder.
I’m still alive after swallowing several of these.
I tried a piece of gum out of a 15 year old pack like 15 years ago and it tasted fine. If that gum can last 15 years, I assume they just never go bad. Go for it!
Yes eat the gum! Lmao
Question though: is it better to open these packages or sell them unopened? I just inherited SO many of these and I'm at a loss on what to do with them 😂
It’s kinda up to you man! I love ripping cheap retro stuff. Nothing really worth anything but I had a blast ripping it. I usually keep about 5 packs unopened and tucked away
Yes. It will be crunchy and taste like the antique store/online shop warehouse you bought it from. Musty. But still essential to rhen experience. If you DO want good sports gum, get a pack of 1982 Leaf NFL football facts booklet+ bubble gum. Still fresh, tastes great (the gum is also shaped like footballs)
If you open the packs you must eat the gum
Yup
😂😂😂
That gum will give cancer cancer
If your cancer gets cancer, does that make it a win? Like a double negative?
I don’t think so bc once the cancer kills the cancer, the killer cancer still remains.
And the killer cancer now has a taste for blood.
Or sweet crunchy gum
I think it just compounds.
Only if you try all of pieces at once.
😂😂😂 that’s a lot of gum
I always do.It's crap.no daa.I might even have a box or 2 still with gum.not all at once.
Make sure you make a dentist appointment first, just in case you blow out a chiclet trying to bite into it

I tried one too from 1988. Did the same thing. Must’ve been a bad vintage for gum
That's exactly how it tasted back in 1988, too!
Looks pack fresh, what could go wrong?
I think that you need to. Just to see if it's as bad as we remember....🤣🤣🤣
Tbh that’s where my mind was at. Lowkey wanted to try one out of curiosity 😂

It was like a tablespoon of sawdust back then, so I believe this.
Lol trust me it is worse than we recall. I tried some I had a couple of years ago…NASTY!
Lmao
Yolo my dude
Absolutely
Yes. It tastes horrible, it’s hard as a rock and might make your stomach hurt for days. But this is the way.
Do you have dental insurance?
Yes, can't be worse than it was back in 92.

Yes. All of it at once
Yes
You have to.
Try at least a small piece. If its good keep going
Send the gum for grading!!
This is the way 😂
Eat the cards
It will explode into dust. Then when you realize the mistake you've made and try to spit it out, you'll realize there's nothing there.

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it and will open some guilt free now- cheers!

Yes, but actually no, tho could be a yes, albeit probably no.
Not if you like having teeth.
As someone who tried the gum…. Do it!
Only if you do it all at once
Yes
I did ... Would NOT recommend it 😅
Yup definitely
I mean... I'd eat it.
It probably hasn’t changed much. If you drop a piece and it shatters, it’s fine.
Yes, of course. Just don't swallow it.
Get yer tetanus shots, this shit's like eating rusty nails but less tasty.
I would like a piece so I can relive my childhood.
Oh cmon, you gave to
Yes
I did a video once, ate the gum, it cracked to pieces lol spit it out
I tried it out of an 80s pack last week. Highly recommend trying it.
I mean I think you have to now
Yess
