Among my treatments was to chew bubble gum. I don’t know why it had to be bubble gum and not just any old gum (sugar-free hadn’t been introduced yet). I saved a big pile of Bazooka Joe comics, but I’ve never blown a bubble (I did try), and I have never enjoyed chewing gum. If we had more time to think about it, I’m sure it would be interesting to think about why some people or families like gum and some don’t.
