Vitamin Gum Tue, 10/25/05 1:42 PM (permalink)
Hello All,
I hope this is the right forum, but when I was in high school,
someone gave me some gum that was a vitamin chewing gum. It was
like bubble gum, but tasted strongly of vitamins. I didn't like it at first, but after a week or two of the gum, I started liking it.
The girl that gave it to me graduated and I never had it again (she was my vitamin gum pusher, I guess).
Every once in a while, I crave it. Anyone know of such a gum?
Take Care,
Fieldthistle

    We actually buy these for our kids. They're called Vita-Balls Bubble Gum. I've actually tried them and they're pretty good. Not sure who makes them. Great way to get the kids excited about taking those vitamins every day.

      When I was a kid, my friend's mom was a nurse and had multiple packages of Aspergum around the house. My friend would sneak it and bring it to school so we could chew it without getting in trouble with the teachers. We would just reply that we were sick and needed it for medicinal purposes. I actually acquired a taste for it. However, the teachers soon got wise to the fact that a handful of kids were chewing gum in class and the sick excuse just didn't cut it.

      In this day and age with Reye's syndrom, etc., it would be unheard of for kids to be chewing this just for recreation.

        I also liked Aspergum when I was a kid.

        Now that I'm old I take my daily Gummie Vitamins. They're much better than my Flintstones.
