So you’re basing 58 years of targeted sales at Gen Xers because of, what, kids in 1965 were four years old when it came out? Are you the dumbest person in history, or just the dumbest person here? You do realize that there were years after 1965, right? None of what you’re saying makes sense. 
Could you imagine our reactions if we told ourselves as kids we'd grow up and electronically argue about this stupid shit when we were old. The mix of wonder and soul crushing despair.
if you’re saying that you feel ashamed of yourself, you should.
I guess I feel a small bit of shame for reading this deep in a dumb argument for a laugh, but we all have our guilty pleasures.
Right there with you man
You’re arguing that you should feel ashamed of yourself. So congratulations.
You don't seem to be aware that you're responding to multiple people at this point, with some of us here to mock the entire comment chain and others who are straight up trolling you to get you to engage. I'm the former.
yeah, I’ve gotten more than one of you to engage in a stupid argument about gum. and you feel good about that? like you’ve done that adult thing by engaging, as a group, in a shitty, petty, and childish exercise?
congratulations, shitbags! you’ve proven that you can all sink to the lowest level! take a bow!
It's kind of funny.
enjoy laughing at yourselves, because you are the joke
I'm glad to have brightened your day then.
wow, you will do anything t take credit for something.
no dice
No, the correct response would be "I didn't say you were a good joke"
Your withholding parents aren’t my problem
Yo, you got some real boomer energy there for a gen xer.
Glad to hear you cry about it.
lol, you’re whole presence here in this thread.
lol “ presence”… make a bigger deal about it, why don’t you. so much melodrama… will you need to tell your therapist about it tomorrow, dear?
Jesus Christ, everybody just block this fucking guy.
If you haven't read the thread, don't bother. Trust me.
“everyone! throw the same tantrum I am! trust me!”
lol
I love you 💋
