Bubble Gum I'm really upset. A week or two ago I bought a can of Bazooka Joe bubble gum. It's the old-fashioned, hard-as-rock, rip-out-all-your-dental-work kind. The real thing. It blows the best bubbles of any kind of bubble gum out there. I grew up chewing it but you can hardly find it anymore. So, when I found this collectible tin, of course I had to buy it. I knew it wouldn't be totally full (and it wasn't), and I was okay with that. My plan is to fill it all the way up and give it to my dad (another bubble gum fan) for Christmas. And I figured that I'd just go ahead and chew the gum that was in there now. Here's where the upset part comes in: The other thing that's so great about Bazooka Joe gum is that it has these cheesy little Bazooka Joe & Company comics that also have fortunes on them. [For a list of Bazooka Joe fortunes, go here: http://209.24.148.180/Biography/BazookaJoe.html ] Anyway, my friend and I break out the package of gum, each taking a piece, and each getting a comic. Which was all fine and nice. Until the next day. That day, I was really not having all that great a day (but at least I wasn't being kicked in the head) and I absent-mindedly decided to chew a piece of gum. I opened the outer wrapper and what did I find? No fortune. Now, I'm not sure what that means, whether it's a great sign (like "Don't worry, things can only get better. But you don't need us to tell you that.") or a terrible one (like "Hah. As if you weren't already having a lousy day, if we were there, we'd just going to give you a kick in the head. But since we're not, we're just going to laugh at you. Ha-ha.") Since that day, out of the entire package of about 50 pieces, I've found 2 other complete fortunes, 1 half fortune, and 2 one-thirds fortunes. Needless to say, I'm a bit pissed off about that.
