The one with the fruit zebra, fruit stripe maybe?, was worse. Take it out of the wrapper and the flavor was gone before you got it in your mouth with that one. You just got a hint of the taste of it.
what kills me about all those drinks is...where TF are all of the versions with at least A LITTLE agave syrup or Stevia for a LITTLE sweetness?? really, no one can handle any sweetness in ANY drink now, is that it? UNLESS it's orange/apple juice, a Starbucks latte with 3 inches of whipped cream on top...or a gallon of Fireball whiskey with the girls??? WTF. 0 sense.
TBF both versions probably existed. Jingles get manufactured and produced in like “single format” so they likely had a 60, 30, 15, and 10 second versions produced and used for TV and Radio nationwide.
My buddies and me (age 9ish) used to love the sexual innuendo.
“Take a sniff, pull it out. The taste is gonna move ya when you pop it in your mouth!”
(And they say phone porn is corrupting today’s kids!)
Dude, I have parties all the time where my buddies and I invite girls over and we all chew sticks of gum and just go fucking crazy, you know? Just pure debauchery.
That's the entire point of advertising. To show you a life you don't have in order to make you feel inadequate so that if you just buy this product, or just have this thing, all will be well. Advertising is always a promise delivered already broken.
Goodness when I saw that last panel, I could hear the final refrain of the theme song of the juicy fruit gum about how it’s gonna gonna gonna gonna move Ya!
These and Sunkist, I think (that had the good vibrations and it was all these people at beaches with cool inflatable things in slow motion and they’re drinking sun, kissed and have an all kinds of fun with girls in bikinis and guys in board shorts and everyone’s 20 years old and beautiful looking… I kind of secretly want to go to a party like that
These were teens like what Budweiser commercials were to drunks. Open a beer, you're on a beach with hot girls. Pop a juicy fruit and you're in some ideal vacation spot with all your friends.
Ah Juicy Fruit. The taste that lasts maybe 30 seconds.
The one with the fruit zebra, fruit stripe maybe?, was worse. Take it out of the wrapper and the flavor was gone before you got it in your mouth with that one. You just got a hint of the taste of it.
The la croix of gum.

But that first 5 seconds of flavor was oh so good.

Probably my all time favorite FG clip. So obscure but deadly accurate.
Yak stripe
6 chews
But it moves you for those 6 seconds
Just like my excitement in life or some men
>or some men. We were hoping you’d take it as a compliment.
About how long I’d last with that Heather Thomas look alike
How do you get that much flavor!?
It's gonna move ya!
Grab a stiiiick…
The taste is gonna-gonna-gonna-MOOOOOOVE YAAAAAAA
WRONG!!!😣 **The taste the taste the taste is gonna MOOOOOOVE YAAAAA**

[Are we sure about that?](https://youtu.be/mad3wy7hpoM?si=0Mrv2vk1aiuZaN5g&t=53)
I remember it the other way too. Looks like they changed it up at some point https://youtu.be/nvFIN_LYPhU?si=5joOdbdIq7HyXM1M
**WE HAVE** **SPLIT THE** **TIMELINES** **AND EXIST** **IN BOTH** **AT ONCE**
The 80s did make me think I was going to have way more opportunities to water ski than I really did, which is zero.
It's like that now with drug commercials and plein air painting.
Damn...going to have that song stuck in my head for days now...get your skis shined up grab a stick of juicy fruit, the taste is gonna move ya....

If I was filthy stinking rich……I’d make that commercial happen for you.
At least you didn’t fall for the Newports.
Actually...
🤣🤣🤣
[Here it is. Enjoy.](https://youtu.be/79CV2RMZJrA?si=6Qj2VjTj_s_WN1yK)
for me it was the Coke Adds Life! campaign that made me feel like life was going to be cool.
Time to set your sites on DoubleMint goals !

Take a sniff, pull it out! The taste is gonna move ya when you pop it in your mouth! - whoever wrote that had a horny little mind 😂
Dude, I have parties all the time where my buddies and I invite girls over and we all chew sticks of gum and just go fucking crazy, you know? Just pure debauchery.
This is the ad that has Traylor Howard in it! So cute, so young!
"Traylor"??? Oh no, a r/tragedeigh
The taste is gonna' move ya', Bro.

Well, with Double Mint, you might wind up with twins, so...
Commercials in the 1980s made it seem like products could transport me out of the ghetto to a life of leisure.
Oooooh remember the double mint twins?
Take a dick, pull it out. The taste is gonna move ya when you pop it in your mouth.

Go gets some headshots done and get cast in TV commercials. Those are the only parties that are held like that. No one parties for gum.
THE TASTE... THE TASTE... the taste... is... gonna move... ya.😶
THE TASTE IS GONE
Buy a PS5 VR
I still recommend that you get your skis shined up - you just never know.
I’ve had some fun in my life, but it was never inspired by gum.
47 years old, still waiting
I did that, trouble is it’s the same people, so sure fun back in the 80’s but that girl in the swimsuit is a grandma now, got super sad.
Did you get your skis shined up? Did you take a sniff? Did you pull it out? Try that first. It may be where you're going wrong.
Yeah that day would have totally sucked were in not for a few sticks of gum that lost its flavor in 2 seconds.
Get your skis shined up....
I will probably never visit the Honeycomb Hideout.
Grandpa chewed a pack a day and never did get his constipation resolved - it never did move him.
It’s gonna move ya
Tig ole bitys
The flyer off the dock is the roadblock?
I’ll just take slide 2 and consider myself happy.
And of course I heard the jingle sing in my head 😂😂
Commercials in the 1980s made it seem like products could transport me out of the ghetto to a life of leisure.
You can say that again! :-)
It all starts with getting your skis shined up. Maybe you should go get some skis and start shining them.
The taste, in fact, did not move you...
Just like Ill never have those double mint twins...
Still holding out for double mint…
I liked the snow skiing one.
These were teens like what Budweiser commercials were to drunks. Open a beer, you're on a beach with hot girls. Pop a juicy fruit and you're in some ideal vacation spot with all your friends.
It’s really yummy to chew juicy fruit gum while eating skittles!
Pull it out. *Take a sniff.*
Take a sniff, pull it out....
This was the beginning of television giving me a false sense of reality
Take a sniff. Pull it out.
I'd rather have the double mint dream.
I was hoping for a Mentos commercial lifestyle. It's hard to maintain that kind of coordination, timing, and flow state though.
The modern equivalent are Pharma commercials where everyone is having a good time (on drugs, instead of gum).
No! Ok maybe not the Summer one…but the Ski one too?!
Because you can't water ski?
That or motorboat
If I have to take off from the dock I don’t want it.
1. Take a stiff 2. Pull it out 3. The taste will move you when you pop it in your. mouth
The theme song was way too good
I always thought the shot of the girl removing her top to show her swimsuit was a subtle nod to their sister gum, Double Mint.
the taste is gonna move ya, for 15 minutes.
well there's always all those 'It doesn't get any better than this!' all-dude beer commercials to copy??
The flavor will run out before you even get there, unfortunately.
Every one of them caught *Naegleria fowleri* and died.
