decided to buy these instead of bitcoin in 2010 when i was 9 years old. thanks to some boomer that told me to "invest" in something you can hold in your hand.

Oh fuck off you zoomoid saying he was gona buy bitcoin at age 9

I was in my mid 20s back on 2010 and i got scammed multiple times trying to buy it from people on forums who’d take PayPal payment and then do a runner so I just gave up

Even at 9yo old baseball cards, Pokémon cards, hot wheels were all collected Incase they are worth something. You chose gum, stupid even for a child.

The only gum that's really worth anything are the early to mid 1900's gum packs.Mainly because it's "vintage" and it was REAL gum, not garbage infused with chemicals and plastic that's manufactured today.

Bitcoin was $5 when Coinbase started.
No excuses.
Everyone I talk to always has the same "I could've" story.
If you don't own at least 1 Bitcoin you will never make it in life.
Essentially you are as worthless as a boomer who doesn't own a house.

okay gramps

some of these i bought in NY city, i'm europoor btw. at least i learned a lesson about scarcity and value. first there where only the orange gums in europe, later the blue and green. it stayed like that for a while, but at some point different flavours where popping up everywhere and this is where i lost interest in collecting them.
