People actually liked Thrills? I always thought it was for pranks. We all called it the soap gum. Sen sens were in the same vein. Probably a legit product, but we as kids all thought it was something you'd get to trick others to eat for a laugh.
I don't recall the name, but there was also some type of gum ball when I was a kid that would dye your mouth a certain color (black, blue, green, red etc.). I think it was ultimately banned from our school after a while because parents got freaked out by kids having crazy colored poops and/or kids staining clothing after chewing and spitting the dye all over the place.
I miss the Big Xtra from McD's at times. But the quarter pounder BLT isn't too far off.
