Freshen Up (1975-2019): A line of chewing gum that contained a flavored gel center, which would provide a burst of flavor while being chewed. Available in peppermint, original bubble, cinnamon, and spearmint, as well as a a "fruit" flavor

Yeah I thought this was a 1980s thing surprised it lasted that long.

Begged for a pack of the spearmint on every grocery trip from 1984-1991.

A friend passed me a piece of this gum in our high school library c. 1976. I squealed so loud I got kicked out of the library for a week. 🤣

Wow. I didn't know Americans had Bubbaloo. That concept is furiously popular in Latin America and Bubbaloo is not going anywhere.

I don't remember those, but there was a similar gum flavored after Dr Pepper, 7Up, and other sodas that I remember having as a kid.

Aside from cinnamon, which was just weird, the other flavors tasted like chewing a piece of gum directly after brushing your teeth.
