Big League Chew Is Alive and Well!(and it didn't even go anywhere!)

Big League Chew was a must for kids back in the 80's. I stand guilty on forgetting all about that childhood necessary. I have Peter Griffen from Family Guy to thank for the reminder as on an episode of the show, after Brian has a maniac outburst due to cocaine use, the family grows quiet until Peter replies, "You know what I haven't had in a while? Big League Chew." Not only do I owe the show for making me laugh again until it hurts, I have Peter to thank for ignoring Brian's drug drama and bringing up the gum, allowing me to say to myself, "Oh yeah...Big League Chew!" I had no idea if Big League Chew was still around or if it was buried along side of Gatorade Gum mainly because I was not paying attention for one, and for two I had put that memory on the back burner. Shortly after watching that rerun of Family Guy, I ended up in the liquor store blocks from my home with my husband. I watched him run to his Smirnoff and vodka that he dedicates his daily routine too. I have to admit I am some what jealous of him since some days I would love to drink myself into next week but due to my medication alcohol gets me severely sick. It's such a shame because I could always slam 3 pints of Kaiser Vodka straight like it was nothing and I am not bluffing either. I just always over did things when it came to chemicals. Besides a couple first shots and vodka was like drinking water to me. Though now there are days when I can't even drink half of a Mike's Hard lemonade and that's really sad. So I turned away from the alcohol on the shelves in shame and went up to the front counter waiting for my husband, admitting my defeat. Of course my head was down during that dark moment which is how I seen Big League Chew on the bottom of a small shelve of candy display that was  attached to the front register I picked it up it all it's glory and flashed it in front of my husband who could care less about it unless it was laced with Yukon Jack. I hurried up and bought it just in fear that it was only a short comeback and that it would be disappeared from shelves soon. Well, I'm not only a retired drinker but I'm also stupid. After doing a little online research I found out that Big League Chew never went any where! Maybe I was just too busy before with buying Kaiser's vodka to have the time to look for BLC. That fault was mine but at least now I know it's still here; and to know that another aspect of my childhood is still around is way better than any alcohol buzz I could ever get. (Well....maybe.)
