UncleMo Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hi. I am in possession of a brand new pack of cards, 1986 Topps, and I want to open the cards to see who is in there. My Secret Santa brought me a few packs of cards and I want to know if it is OK to eat the bubble gum, after it is nearly 20 years old. Any ideas on the shelf life of bubble gum?

ixcuincle Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I wouldn't touch it. My rule is that if the candy is over a year old I wouldn't touch it...I'm extremely paranoid of what would happen if I did Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/16260-bubble-gum-in-old-baseball-card-packs-ok-to-eat/#findComment-200752 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Sure, go for it. Just make sure you video tape it, have someone close by at all times, and if anything funny happens, get them to spread the video all over the internet. Of course, they will have to do it since you'll be confined to a hospital bed for a while but whatever. :lol: Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/16260-bubble-gum-in-old-baseball-card-packs-ok-to-eat/#findComment-200762 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwinginSoriano Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I think someone drank a Crystal Pepsi a decade after it's expiration date, probably wasn't healthy but I don't think the guy is dead.

Veesmack Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I think the last time I've actually chewed on a piece of baseball card gum was in 1991. I don't have fond memories. The gum was like a Wrigley's in style but very, very rigid. Actually, it reminds me of communion bread in the way it just breaks apart as you bite. I think the wax of wrapper contributes to an "interesting" flavor. They weren't good new in 1991 new, so 20 years later would probably be a "risk" Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/16260-bubble-gum-in-old-baseball-card-packs-ok-to-eat/#findComment-200806 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I cannot lie: I ate the gum from several packs of 1986 and 87 Topps pack I bought off of Ebay last year. It didn't taste bad, and I am alive, but the gum just crumbles upon putting pressure on the stick. It was kind of gross but survivable.

AstroEric Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 The correct answer to Mo's question is that you should not eat gum of any kind -- you should chew it and spit it out. --Eric Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/16260-bubble-gum-in-old-baseball-card-packs-ok-to-eat/#findComment-200850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
