I just love these novelty gum packs; I included packs with my Christmas gifts this year, and they were a hit! Each box contains 8 pieces of chewing gum. What makes them so fun are the graphics and captions on each unique box.
Here are just a few of my favorites: "Tastes Like Chicken, doesn’t everything?", "Don’t Waste My Daytime Minutes", "How about a nice big pack of shut the hell up!", "Ass Kisser, gum for brown nosers," "Let’s Pretend I Give A #### Gum, No, what I really mean is ‘Shut up or go away - take your choice" and "Bigger Bitch, Seriously. I really hate you."
