Posted: 11/15/05 at 7:47pmAt this candy chain in the mall. Why does it bother me that it is made in Mexico?

Elphie, they sell that stuff at Cracker Barrel. It is super cheap.

Posted: 11/15/05 at 7:54pmyes, but cracker barrel is well-known for being extremely homophobic, so I cannot buy it there. There have been times when they would not even serve gay people......of course this was a few years ago....not sure if they have changed

Posted: 11/15/05 at 8:05pmI just finished my last sticks of Clove gum and Beemans. And a few months ago, I found Black Jack. Still haven't seen Teaberry anywhere.

The Teaberry Shuffle was a dance in the 60's. Commercials would show ordinary people going about their business and popping a piece of Teaberry gum in their mouth and breaking into the Teaberry Shuffle. Elphaba and Iflit will remember tye little ditty, for the rest of you, here's a link:

Posted: 11/15/05 at 8:26pmElph - I avoided them for so many years that I don't even see them anymore - they just ceased to exist for me. 11 years is a long time to dig your heels in, ya know?

Ya know what else I kinda liked? Those little wax bottles with sweet colored liquid in them. They weren't really that good, but they *were* pretty cool.
