    I remember getting Big League Chew at the Little League concession stands at...pretty much every little league game ever.

    Then it was gone for awhile. Possibly because was only sold at little league concession stands.

    Then I found it at Sports Authority! Thanks you Bain Capital?

    Hijacking, I know (sorry Sam) but I was about to change Pedro's 18 and above to 18 - 50 (death or severe mouth cancer comes shortly thereafter). Then I recalled working as a surveyor's aide when I was 20 and sitting in the back seat of a white car transporting the surveyors to a job. The owner of the company, an old fart of a man of apparent advanced age (he reminded me of an old Casey), spitting his chew-spittle out the window and all over the side of the spittle-spotted (now brown) car had me enraptured. He rasped and wheezed as he talked. I guess you can live a long and fruitful life (like Buck, Casey Stengel, Rocky Bridges, etc.) Little Yara was his brand......

    And now back to the OP......

    I mean I do chew maybe 5 times a year. It is NOT recommended for ANYONE as a habitual thing. Whether 18, 28, 30 or 108.
