When I was little there was a Juicy Fruit Gum commercial that showed a tree with gum hanging off of it and the kids in the commercial would jump up and try to pick the gum off of the tree. I planted some Juicy Fruit gum in my yard because I thought I could grow a gum tree just lie the one on the commercial!
