Big League Chew lacks Big League Flavor

Upon opening a pack of Big League Chew, one expects certain things from the pack, aside from the usual shredded pink bubble gum and white powder, that would to some resemble something from the days of Babe Ruth, but is just a sugary powder and preservative. One may also expect that those in the big leagues would want a bubble gum that packs big league flavor as well. Unfortunately, Rob Nelson and Jim Bouton, the creators of Big League Chew, did not have the testicular fortitude to foresee such problems in a world of steroids and player enhancing drugs. While the gum may have sufficed for games in 1980, when games were shorter due to the scrawny size of players before the use of the aforementioned drugs, it does not cut it in today’s big leagues, or even amateur leagues for that matter. Big League Chew needs to reassess the original gum and create an enhanced flavor for today’s enhanced players. Maybe the addition of some gum enhancing preservatives or even the addition of some gum flavored steroids? Both, viable options in today’s market. With steroid use on the rise, not only in baseball, but other sports as well, this may be the best option for Big League Chew, even if the price had to be raised to supplement the cost and research they would quickly become the favorite of any rising sports star; creating a new niche in today’s bubble gum market. They would once again be able to say they are the “Favorite” of today’s sports stars. Even if the addition of steroids is not an option, they could enhance the flavor to last longer. Either way, until Big League Chew decides to enhance its ability to retain flavor, they will lack what is implied in their product name, that original “Big League” Flavor.
