    I gotta throw the BS Flag on My First Hangover. The wording on the package looks like system-generated nonsensical text. Dunno about My First Beer.

    Black jack gum by adam was the only gum I chewed as a kid. I understand it's still available by a different company.

    I always like the Licorice flavor.

    I agree I would not buy. There were thirteen or fourteen toys in the article Similar to these,
    supposed to teach kids about adult life. I think they grow fast enough today, let kids be kids.

    Here's another one

    Reminded me of a strange gum when I was a kid called "Fan Tan." I liked it but a couple of friends said it tasted like soap.

    That is utterly disgraceful and criminal. Can you imagine the message that sent to her children?

    While we were taught about the birth of the baby Jesus and what it ultimately meant, we also embraced the Santa Claus of Father Christmas stories which were intended to help little one better understand why gifts are given to the newborn and subsequent birthdays.

    The same applied to Easter, and the birth of bunnies and chicks as a broad illustration of the ascension of Christ.

    To the young, it adds some festivities and fun for the holidays.

    I do not consider them serious lies by adults to the children at all.

    The root in Root Beer was sassafras. When we lived in Indiana, my father used to make root beer. He had an old bottle capper...it looked like a car jack. I remember chewing on sassafras root.
