I have blogged before about Cyn's fondness for candy. As kids, we both indulged in sweets, and had the silver teeth to prove it. One of my random memories involving candy is with the now discontinued Cinn-A-Burst gum and its cousin Mint-A-Burst.
One of Cindy's friends discovered that you could eat the wrapper. You could keep the stick of gum in the thin paper covering and proceed to chew the gum in the wrapper and it would be okay. This was not like eating the rice wrapper from the candy White Rabbit, the wrapper of the Cinn-A-Burst made the gum stiff and far less cinnamon-y.
As a tween back in the day, offering gum to our sisters’ friends, we certainly got a kick out of it when they would watch us chew our gum - with the wrapper still on.
I wonder if retro candy shoppes still carry this brand of gum. If I find some, I know I’ll reminisce about the wrapper-chewing-filled times that I shared with Cyn.
