big league chew

From The Family Guy:
Lois: So how was your day?
Brian: My day? Un-freakin' believable. First we nailed this bastard who had the gall to hide his stuff in his daughter's doll--HER DOLL for God's sake! Where's the line anymore? Well, I got news for ya, it's not even on the radar screen! The days of decency and virtue are gone, honey, BAM, freakin' evaporated like a dingy stinkin' mudpuddle. One day you see your reflection in it and the next day it's a, it's a damn oil spot on your cracked driveway, staring back at you, mocking you, knowing the perverted truths that rot in the pit of your soul. That's how my freakin' day was!

Peter: You know what I haven't had in a while? Big League Chew.

This scene from the show got me thinking: I haven't had Big League Chew in a while either. Thus, I had to get some and see if enjoyable flavors from childhood would once again be a poor indicator of adult tastes.

They still are. For starters, I haven't been a regular gum chewer in years. In fact, I was never really a regular gum chewer ever. Also, original bubble gum flavored gum is incredibly boring. It's too much like going to the dentist and having to settle for bubble gum because it's the only flavor of that toothpaste cleaner deal they use that they have. (Speaking of which, I had to settle for bubble gum last time I was at the dentist.) Lastly, I find the ball player depicted on the packaging a little distressing given the current difficulties baseball is experiencing with steroids. Just try and tell me that this man is not on the juice.

In conclusion, don't get diesel on your clothes, even your work clothes, because they will still smell like diesel after washing them.
