Anyone have fond memories of Gatorade gum?
logger93@reddit
My teeth hurt
No-Professor-7542@reddit
That’s was the shortest lasting pleasure I have ever had !! lol
pluckyfemme2@reddit
My mouth waters profusely
SnarkHabit@reddit
I am still angry they promoted this gum as "thirst quenching." It stands out as some of the most egregious marketing bullshit I have ever encountered.
Antique-Brilliant535@reddit
It made you thirsty as hell.
Other-Revolution-275@reddit
Wow. I forgot all about the gum
Such-Huckleberry-107@reddit
The flavour only lasted about 5 seconds but it was a glorious 5 seconds
Helpful-nothelpful@reddit
The single serving size was a bummer.
Servile-PastaLover@reddit
"Dryyyy Mouttttthhh" is the Gatorade Gum commercial I remember as if were yesterday.
Nervous-Story-7117@reddit
GatorGum fights…………DRY MOUTH!!!!!!!!
LeeKinanus@reddit
for the 11 chews it gives you before its disgusting yes. I too will buy two packs please.
brownmtn@reddit
The best 10 seconds of flavor you'll ever get in your life.
kevinlc1971@reddit
Second best in my opinion. Zebra Stripe gum tops my list.
TinyFugue@reddit
Zebra Stripe. The gum my grandma would buy me when I was five.
Mid gum, best memories.
stonymessenger@reddit
Wasn't it called Gatorgum?
breddy@reddit
Yes
moetownslick@reddit
that's the name that i remember
bikkaboo@reddit
Nooooooo! Really???? You liked this? I have terrible memories lol
IDunnoReallyIDont@reddit
Is it weird my mouth FELT this post? Like my salivary glands tweaked 🤣
missusfictitious@reddit
Wow, high school cross country memory unlocked
PatriotMissle1945@reddit
Yep. I remember sticking a piece in my mouth before starting the mile at a track meet. I was scared to spit it out bc idk why. Had that nastiness under my tongue until I crossed the finish line. Ick!
Scarpity026@reddit
I remember it having marginally longer lasting flavor than Fruit Stripe.
b_o_m@reddit
Yep. It was awesome...for about 12 seconds. Then it was like chewing on a pencil eraser.
booster1000@reddit
😂
mossdale@reddit
We’d use it in wrestling to lose last minute weight before weigh in. You could generate at least a quarter pound of spit with several packs in a row over maybe 10 minutes.
TheCenterOfEnnui@reddit
It's now called Quench Gum.
optimal-gold976@reddit
Yup! So good. I don’t get it often, but when I do it’s a blast back to being forced to go on all of my brother’s Boy Scout camping trips. They’d do Boy Scout stuff and I’d hit the camp store for fishing bait and Gatorade gum.
NewDrive7639@reddit
Loved it, but it lost flavor so fast!
MightyCaseyStruckOut@reddit
Much like Fruit Stripe gum. The flavor hit fast and hard and then became nonexistent.
panicstreak@reddit
Hard as a rock and flavorless after 3 min.
MrsSnuffleupagus764@reddit
You got three minutes?!
PopeInThePizza@reddit
Yes, Mom bringing some back to our northern BC home from her trip to the Bay Area in 1976. Also brought back Pop Rocks.
Wingnut4772@reddit
I just hella salivated reading this title.
4melooking49@reddit
I came here to say that!
Capital-Earth-5945@reddit
Quench gum!
Ornery_Banana_6752@reddit
I was gonna post this myself. The first time I had that stuff(circa 1984), I was obsessed! Good stuff!
alwaysforgettingmyun@reddit
Omfg, I've thought my taste memory was Gatorade gum and it didn't quite line up, and now I remember quench gum and that was it
mattbnet@reddit
Gator Gum! I loved those dry mouth ads. My friends and I would make that croaky voice.
CompleteService8593@reddit
jefedragon22@reddit
And Fruit Stripe!!!
Equivalent_Gap_805@reddit
Nothing like the first 60 seconds of chewing.
BoilerMo@reddit
We would squish it into our football mouth guards so we could taste it during practice(yes it looked disgusting). It was so freaking tasty!
Former-Concert2118@reddit
It was the best 6 seconds of the day!
Upset_Assumption9610@reddit
I'd forgotten about this one. I remember it now being REALLY good but has the taste lasting power of Fruit Stripe? or am I misremembering it?
East_Relationship722@reddit
You are remembering it quite well. Two chews and the flavor was gone.
Upset_Assumption9610@reddit
So it did last longer than Fruit Stripe by one chew.
Upset_Assumption9610@reddit
Mediocre_Range_974@reddit
Tangy!!!!!
Substantial_Pen3328@reddit
Loved it! Closest I've found is Quench, but it can be pretty pricey for a bucket of the stuff.
melonbug74@reddit
Yes I was thinking about this yesterday!!
Thagrillfather@reddit
So so good.
kungfuringo@reddit
I no longer partake, but eating a piece after smoking weed was … something.
Few_Presence_8888@reddit
Yes - it was like they squeezed a whole bottle of Gatorade into a tiny piece of gum. Great for baseball players on hot days.
Mudfap@reddit
100%. That tang that would make jaw tingle/sting. (Something happens to my parotid gland.)
Skindigga@reddit
Fruit punch GatorGum was the best.
bunkie18@reddit
So good and so tangy!
MasterClown@reddit
I admit I'm drawing a blank on that brand of gum.
However, I'll never forget Ziggy bumwah!!
Mimi6671@reddit
Yesss. Loved that stuff!
umeboshiplumpaste@reddit
Forever my brain's association with lemon-lime.
