Retsy Series 1 · Card 0171 · 80-MEM
One more pack and it reaches the door.
Kids folded foil gum wrappers into zigzag links and raced to build the longest chain in school.
The story · 1984
Every wrapper got folded into a tiny zigzag link and hooked onto the last one. Chains snaked across bedroom floors, under doors and down hallways. Rumor said the longest one in the county wrapped around the gym twice. Nobody chewed gum for the taste anymore. They chewed it for the wrapper.
Kids measured their chains in bus seats, and anything over forty seats earned lunch table legend status.
