What's That In Your Mouth?

When I first saw a commercial for Stride Shift, I thought, "Wow. That's some real Violet Beauregarde stuff right there." I had to have some!

And then I promptly forgot about it.

Yesterday, I saw the Citrus Mint flavor when I was checking out at Target. I grabbed a pack and you know what? It's pretty good. The second flavor, mint, has a good taste and is responsible for all but half a minute of the gum's taste life. But for the glorious first thirty seconds, Stride Shift Citrus Mint tastes like the greatest gum ever made:

GATORGUM!

Gatorgum, for those of you unfamiliar with it, was gum created by Gatorade and was twenty shades of awesome. Unfortunately, it's no longer available, so if you are unfamiliar with it, you'll just have to take my word for it. But know this: if you found a thirty-year-old box of the stuff in a dusty warehouse somewhere, I would seriously consider chewing a piece or 800.

For this week's Your Say Hump Day, we want to know which discontinued snack/junk food/foodstuff from your youth do you wish was still available today? Have your say in the comments.

Go!
