I don't think I was an avid chewer but did love the occasionally
bubble gum bubble challenge. More than 10 years ago, we did a
Fear Factor bday party for one of our kids. For one challenge, I
froze bubble gum and the challenge was for the kids to be the
first to be able to blow a bubble. I decided to try it out first
to see how hard it was. I forgot how darn large a double bubble
was.

:) No, most of them had enough sense to leave it in their mouths
to let it start to thaw. But great videos. You'd have really
hated the 3 locks 12 keys in a wash tub of ice water.

During chemo mustard became absolutely foul to my tastebuds.
Still haven't recovered my taste for it.

This is tomatoes for me. I just don't bother. If they're really,
really ripe, and locally grown, I'll buy them and enjoy them.
Corn on the cob as well; my MIL will buy grocery-store ears,
sometimes frozen ones, and think she's giving me such a
wonderful treat.
I only like it in season and farmer's-market fresh. There's a
vegetable stand near me that has pretty decent corn right now,
but once we're out of the season, I won't be interested.

(Recently the letters page of the London Times had a
correspondence on what is the perfect tool for taking the woolly
core out of strawberries. A tool that wouldn’t be necessary if
your strawberries were decently ripe, because they would have
come off the stalk hollow, leaving the core behind.)

At this point I only buy them fresh from the farmer's market
during the season. I know the ones in the store will be blah, so
I won't bother. I do freeze some of the ripe ones because
they're so good in smoothies or whatever.

for the longest time it was mashed potatoes.
When I was in junior high and high school, my mom made instant
mashed potatoes a lot because they were quick and easy. Then my
school was found to have a serious structural defect, and they
had to close the lunchroom and kitchen. So to feed kids, they
jury-rigged a kitchen elsewhere and started to serve instant
mashed potatoes at as many lunches as they could.
I refused to eat them for decades.
Then I went to a restaurant that had "smashed potatoes" on the
menu, with skins in, and I decided to try it.
So now I will eat mashed potatoes like that.

I haven't either and I used to be addicted to soda.
I haven't had juice in years either. It seems too sweet now,
even when diluted with water. I rather eat the actual fruits.

Ditto. I will drink homemade root beer from my favorite chili
place, but I get there maybe twice a year (in the before times.)
Regular soda is out for me these days. If I had a Coke at this
point I'd get very sick.
