Big League Chew

Pouch of strands

Big League Chew is a brand of shredded bubble gum sold in pouches, designed to resemble chewing tobacco.

Introduced in 1980, it was created as a kid-friendly alternative to the tobacco players chewed in baseball dugouts.

The product remains associated with youth baseball culture: He stuffed a wad of Big League Chew in his cheek like the pros.
