As I explained here, the only chewing gum I ever liked was Adams Sour Orange Gum. A few months ago, the company that acquired the company that acquired the company that used to make it put out what they called a "limited availability" of Adams Sour Cherry Gum and Adams Sour Apple Gum — two of the other flavors that were part of the same line. We've been hoping they'll get around to whipping up some of the orange kind too, and we will not abandon that hope. Until, of course, it looks pretty certain they're not going to do it.
Yesterday afternoon, I called the Cadbury Adams company and asked a nice lady in the Consumer Relations Office if they had any plans to bring it back. She said, "We never know until the folks upstairs announce those things. I haven't heard anything but I'll be glad to submit your request." I asked her if while she was at it, she could do something to get Souplantation to keep the Creamy Tomato Soup around and also get someone to release Skidoo on DVD. I figured it couldn't hurt.
I'm not sure if I want to chew Adams Sour Orange Gum again or if I just like the idea of some lost relic of my childhood making a comeback. What I think I'd really like is for them to start airing this commercial again…
