Anyone remember this gum?

[paull51878]

Hi All

When I was a little boy growing up in good ol Brooklyn in the 1980's, we used to buy this gum from the ice cream man, the gum was called Chinese Gum and each piece was individually wrapped and contained a fortune inside. Im dying to buy this gum but I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone remember this gum and know where to find it if it's even still available?

Thanks

Paul :)

Oh Man!!!! The memories!! We used to buy a whole bunch of candy at this one Mom and Pop store and then go to school and sell it! Fire Stix, chinese candy, chinese gum, sal con limon, chamoy, chamoy sticks, etc!!! Last I saw it was at a store called Reubens in San ANtonio. Small store. DOn't know the manufacturer of that gum - but I remember it!!! Thanks for the memories! ;)

LOL. I think this is the gum that was featured on an episode of Seinfeld once, though I've never seen it.

I remember that gum too! Every day at recess, we used to get someone from the Catholic school to go to the ice cream truck to get us some of that gum - we weren't allowed to go out of the gate, but they were! That stuff was so good. I wish I could help you with the name though! I wonder if they sell it in Chinatown in NY?

Anyone else remember these????

Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles Pies It was a pie with a green pudding filling, I think Hostess made them,you could find them in convenience stores

You would get a TMNT sticker with them... I had all of the stickers at one time... LOL the pies were vanilla pudding in a green pie shell..... LOL

Are these the ones that look like a Reeses Peanut putter cup, but they have Marshmallo in the middle of chocolate and in the choclate is like toasted coconut?

I saw that link on one of the pay sites I do and kept it under favorites. When I get the occasional webby I like to order stuff I otherwise wouldn't get. Plus I don't feel like paying mall candy store prices.
