Big League Chew

The iconic Big League Chew bubble gum was born on a hot summer night in 1980. Baseball players Rob Nelson and Jim Bouton of the Portland Mavericks came up with the idea for shredded gum in a pouch, which gave athletes an alternative to chewing tobacco. Big League Chews actually led to chewing tobacco's decline in popularity, possibly making it the only candy that's positively impacted public health!
