yeah, plain bubble gum doesn't really use anything that would require a steeping time that wouldn't be accomplished while it was in transit. That would be good to go right when you get it.
I REALLY have to think about how to pull off that powdery, stale gum taste....The kind I mean is that stick of bubble gum that used to come with say....Baseball cards, wacky package stickers, etc. You know what I mean? yeah, I know that stuff was stale, but there is just that level of childhood fondness with that taste......
I'm going to have to think on that.
