Get your skiis shined up
Grab a stick of Juicy Fruit
The taste is gonna move ya


First off, why are you only targeting skiers, Juicy Fruit? A recent report by SnowSports Industries America shows that only 6.9% of the U.S. population participates snowsport activities. That means you're ignoring 93% of Americans, duh. And that number is even worse when you subtract the snowshoers. Real freaking smart.

Take a sniff
Pull it out
The taste is gonna move you when you pop it in your mouth


Whoa. Are we still talking about chewing gum here? Won't somebody think of the children?!

Juicy Fruit is gonna move ya
It chews so soft, it gets right to ya


Here we encounter the second "move ya" of this anthem (see above). Is that a reference to my bowel movements? The FDA has not approved this product as a laxative. I checked. Or perhaps they're suggesting that my soul will be set in motion by a stick of chewing gum? Fortunately I kept the receipts from my Yogi and will be demanding a refund immediately. Chews so soft? Well I should certainly hope so. But that "gets right to ya" part resurfaces concerns about my bowel movements, you weirdos.

Juicy Fruit
The taste, the taste, the taste is gonna move ya


Clearly being paid by the word. Props for fitting the product name into the jingle three times in a 63-word ditty, despite the obvious repetition here. This is the kind of efficiency that landed the gig in the first place. Whatever. Thirty years later, this dude gets a $3.19 royalty check in the mail EVERY SINGLE WEEK. Who's laughing now?
 
Must be lonely drinking alone and rewatching 80s commercials to poast a play by play analysis.

Juicy fruit has a small meaning to me.
When I moved back form florida, I start going to my home church. I always kept a pack of juicy fruit with me due to recently quiting smoking. There was 2 little kids that would set in front of me every service. I would give them juicy fruit and pick at them a bit. Eventually, their mom and I started dating, and I was married a year later.

Man, juicy fruit is powerful

When I was growing up, there was a dude in my neighborhood named Jack Ditty. He and his wife Juanita had like 20 kids all under the age of 10. We called them the Itty Bitty Ditty Kiddies. Go ahead. Say it out loud. It's kinda fun.
Oh yeah and we used to sing the John Mellencamp song but use their names instead:

Little ditty, 'bout Jack and Juanita....

How is that possible? Multiple sets of twins?
 
If you're going to convince me to drink, which nobody has ever successfully been able to accomplish, you need to do a lot more than spout out a random rant about Juicy Fruit.
 
Hey, could a chewing/bubble gum tourney be in the works?

I think fruit strips could take the crown if the flavour lasted longer than a minute
