\"CC_A-Team<\/p>\n

Wanted to post up a fun pop-culture piece for today and I think I’ve got the perfect one.\u00a0 Back in 1983 the UK’s Barratt company released “The A-Team Super Stringy Bubble Gum” in a grape flavor.<\/p>\n

This one appears to have been similar to Big League Chew<\/a> and the many shredded gum imitators that followed in the 1980’s here in the States.\u00a0\u00a0 Too bad this one was never released here in the USA – it would have been neat to see.<\/p>\n

Though we never got to enjoy it stateside back then, at least we have this vintage UK package to appreciate now – hope you dig it:<\/p>\n
