    Description

    Vintage Gum Wrapper Chain ~ 150.5 feet long ~
    one continuous chain
    I made this 150.5 foot gum wrapper chain when I was in middle school during the 1970s.
    It is one continuous chain.
    My cousin in New York chewed 80% of the gum with her friends and would send me the gum wrappers every few months (I was in California).  My friends and I chewed the other 20%.
    There are Wrigley's (Spearmint, Doublemint, Big Red, Juicy Fruit), Carefree (Bubblegum, Tutti Frutti), Beech-Nut (Spearment, Pepperment, Fancy Fruit), Fruit Stripe, Trident, Lifesavers, Adams (Chocolate, Sours) and Others.  Then Wrigley’s stopped printing their logo on the big packs of gum so you will see some white wrappers tipped with yellow, green & red.
    This is a walk down chewing gum lane!
    weighs approximately ~ 2 lbs, 6 oz
    Used it a couple of times on our Christmas tree as a garland, packed it away during one move and forgot all about it until pandemic closet clean up.
