The Big Buddy was the gum of choice during grade-school summers, much more hip than the overrated Bazooka Bubble Gum.
A Big Buddy would last a day, sometimes two, depending upon the stress levels of ill-timed and ill-placed zits, bad-hop grounders and getting to dinner by 5:15.
The Big Buddy was a nice complement to the Charleston Chew, kind of serving as a breath mint.
That was one thick piece of gum, a Big Buddy.
Grape is the most salient memory.
I LUV BigBuddies. Can you still buy these?

To be honest, I don't know. I haven't seen them in a while.
