    Not what they used to be.</p>

    They used to be lovely and clear and fruity. Now they lookmisty and taste a tad sour.</p>

    The boxes used to be packed with big chunky glossy clear gums. In fact they were known as clear gums. Now the stuff in boxes is opaque misty stuff, about half the size they were and look like they've been sucked for half an hour before being put back in the bag.</p>

    This has been on my mind for ages, but I can't stand it any longer. Bring back the original gums!</p>

    Great Post - reminds me of the old days of this board

    When this board ( not technically but you know what I mean ) was so creative it spawned a book and many side splitting days!
