It's the chewing gum of Champions. Seriously though, these days I see it and fear it might make kids think chewing tobacco is ok/good. Honestly that's why I liked it back then. It made me feel like my dad who dipped and chewed at the time.

I don't think I have ever once thought of Big League Chew as a resemblance to chewing tobacco. Always thought of it as a great bubble gum though.

I kinda assumed thats why they made it in the 1st place. Alot of baseball players dip, kids watch baseball. Its a way for kids to try and emulate their heroes.

I haven't had it in ages, but I liked it as a kid to emulate my favorite baseball players. I also liked candy cigarettes. And guess what, I never actually smoked or chewed tobacco.

Hate to bump this. But wow I just found the motherload of this stuff at Old Navy of all places! I got a few packs of the Watermelon flavor and DEVOURED them! I am now hooked and need to go back for more.
