Gum Fighter meets Rockjaw Jim (Bubble Gum Weekend)

The Gum Fighter is cool. He ought to be President of the World.

The Gum Fighter of course is the gumfightin' legend from the Hubba Bubba commercials of the '80s. He always brang out a zany cast of characters to complement his presence. They were often humiliated in gum chewing contests versus the ol' Fighter.

The Gum Fighter's rivals were sort of like the gangs of adversaries you fought as a youth. They had distinct personalities and characteristics and were always spoiling for a fight.

But one day it appeared that the Gum Fighter finally met his match: Rockjaw Jim...

Rockjaw Jim. A weird one indeed.

That old commersh showed ol' Rockjaw challenging the Gum Fighter to a "chewdown." The object was to chomp some BG until your jaw gets sore.

But when Rockjaw Jim realized his own gum had nails and boogers in it, he grimaced in frustration. He looked like my high school principal did when he got angry.

But amazingly, nobody bubbled.
