I can live with it. The show must go on, and gas is expensive. |

I'm pretty disappointed, but I'll keep watching. Don't you guys have a rich uncle? |

Sours Gum - I'm not that keen on bubblegum, but I was intrigued, and then I saw it was sugar free and got myself some through eBay.
I thought I'd try it out on my workmates, and it lasted ONE WHOLE DAY. After everyone who wanted to had tried it, I had four pieces left, so I thought what the hey and stuffed them in my mouth in true Bree fashion, and yes, it was VERY sour.
After that preamble, my only question is how much does it sell for in the USA? It's not available in the UK as far as I can see - or not in my bit of the UK anyway - and buying it on eBay works out a tad expensive at £3.94 or nearly $8 including shipping.
I've got a friend visiting the States in a few weeks and I was going to give him some money to bring me some more back. _________________ > <

I'll be grumpy if you add product placement... but I'll be grumpy no matter what. ...that's what grumpy old men do.
Live a little on the wild side. Place the product. |

You said you'd be grumpy if they did it, and then told them to go ahead. I was pointing out that they already have. |

Yeah, I remember the sour gum. I was thinkin' they were considering doing it as a regular thing. Didn't look at the age of the post.
Actually I was saying I'm always grumpy so it wouldn't change much. ...I wonder if television product placement has ever gotten this much discussion by the populous? You'd kinda figure marketing execs all over the world would be beating down the Creators' door hoping to have their products shown on LG15 what with the amount of exposure we continue to give it.
The gift that keeps on giving! |

I have to admit at first I thought the product placement was a bit cheesy and dumb but yesterday I bought some of the gum. It is really good too! _________________ Co-President Of Spencer Gilman's Fan Club

Does anyone know why we haven't seen any more product placement? I've seen two spots that would have been fantastic for it. In fact one of them is charliebrown's avatar: |
