I am Mog Anarchy, and I like to play games. Whether they are old, new, retro, modern, online, offline, console, computer, critically acclaimed or notoriously bad. Here on my blog, I rant about, review, trash talk, praise and generally talk about all of my favourite and least-favourite games. I also write my own guides on how to accomplish tricky tasks, show off my creative endeavors and challenge myself with crazy in-game tasks. I also have a bunch of gaming merchandise which I am glad to show off. So drop me a comment, I love hearing your questions, criticisms, comments and general gaming discussions. :)

1980s Nintendo Stickers, Scratchcards & 34 YEAR OLD BUBBLEGUM

While trawling eBay for some new stuff for my UNBOXING videos - I stumbled upon a few packs of these Nintendo scratchcard and sticker packs from 1989 and 1982, respectively.
Both packs come with stickers and scratchcards, and the 1982 Donkey Kong pack came with a stick of 34 YEAR OLD BUBBLEGUM. All three packs are older than I am. :)

Judging by the copyright information and the ingredients of the bubblegum (*cough* corn syrup *cough*), these packs are clearly from the US - possibly sold in the UK at some point, as there was quite a few listings in ££££s. You could also get a pack with Link from The Legend of Zelda on the front, but that one was about 5 times more expensive than the Mario and Peach packs. I believe the 1982 packs were only available in the Donkey Kong variety, rather than the general Nintendo/NES variety.


The packs I opened contained stickers and scratchcards from Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Punch-Out!!, Double Dragon Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2. 


Here's a closer look at them: (click on the pics to enlarge)

The bubblegum seemed to have started to disintegrate somewhat, does anybody know what the hell these brown speckles are?
And if you want to see me opening the packaging and EATING THE 34 YEAR OLD BUBBLEGUM, because I'm fucking stupid - here's a video:




For any fans of the British unboxer Ashens, he once ate a piece of 25-year-old bubblegum. I ate the whole stick of 34-year-old bubblegum. :)
