Freshen-up was the only gum I used to buy. I was never a big gum chewer, but that one I had to get, that little squirt of whatever the hell it was in the center was worth it.

I’d love to try it exactly for that little juicy bit in the middle.

Those Stimarol ads are amazing! Anyhoo, I was a big Matchbox fan when I was younger… I used to pick one up every weekend at the Barrowlands when I was out with my grandad (he would pick up old watches that he’d fix). Very fond memories of that.

Sweet memories about your grandad buying you Matchbox. I always get a nostalgia rush whenever I see those car boxes with the cool artwork. In the school holidays I’d stay with my great gran and she always bought me a few Matchbox and sometimes Britains soldiers. Happy memories for sure.

I recall Freshen-up gum being a pretty big deal in grade school, but not as big as the introduction of Bubble Yum, which seemed to stop time until we all had our own pack.

Never tried Freshen-Up, they look tasty, especially the juicy bit in the middle. I remember we had Hubba-Bubba, Bazooka Joe and Wrigley’s. Also we had the gum that came as a single flat strip, free in football collecting card packs like Figurine Panini, Topps.
