This morning found us driving around town looking for various items to take back with us. We found some very unique items to bring back to our friends so they too can enjoy a taste of Canada.

One taste I was not expecting was a taste of Thrills gum. Thrills gum
A purple gum that looks like Chiclets. "Tastes like soap." I should have known better when our daughter asked her dad for a quarter for some gum we just had to try. I noticed that she herself did not take any but insisted that we take a big handful.

Mr. Wonderful never flinched or made faces.....not me! Ugh! It smells like rosewater that is used as a fragrance of bar soap and consequently taste like soap. I should know my mom washed out my mouth with soap many times growing up for talking back to her or using "unlady like language!"

Of course our daughter had a good laugh as I don't have a poker face and certainly reacted to the very strong tasting gum. She did find me a trash can to pitch the revolting stuff and offer to buy me a coke to wash out the taste.

That was one thrill I could have done without!

What's the worst gum flavor you ever chewed?
