lol
Nostalgia indeed, reminding me of the glory days of being a miami ripple rider
You put it in your mouth? How did that happen? I am so curious. I lived in California as a kid and cool folks used it for all their boardsports there. No one ate it though.
Yeah some kid did it so we all did. You just chewed it til the flavor died and then you spit it out.
Bizarre.
When and where was this? Just wondering if this was pretty localized or before my time.

You had surfboards in Arizona?
Nope. They sold it at skate shops
