Going Like Sixty

Going Like Sixty

Would a Free Lousy Pack of Gum Bring Down Wrigley’s?

Posted: 20 Apr 2010 12:23 PM PDT

I’ve chewed more gum this past six months while losing weight than my previous 180 years of lifetime.

Yes, I chewed a lot of Bazooka gum as a lad. Next to Bazooka, my favorite was Juicy Fruit, usually a whole pack at a time because the flavor didn’t last as long. Of course Bazooka’s flavor lasted about the same, but when the flavor was gone, there were always the awesome bubbles.

I’m chewing sugarless gum now because it does help reduce the snack cravings I used to have and the rest of my teeth won’t fall out.

I’ve settled on Wrigley’s Extra because the flavor really does last a long time.

So where’s my friggin’ free gum?

Ya see, they have this website to visit and plug in some super-secret code (something akin to “Be Sure To Drink Your Ovaltine.”)

Instead of announcing right away, I am a LOSER. They send me an email. (See Above)

I’ve probably entered 50 times and haven’t gotten as much as a COUPON for a pack of Extra gum. Stop entering? Oh, you don’t know me well enough to know better? Dangle free in my face with an entry form on a website and you have me hooked until the sponsor cries “Bazooka!”
