Loved that show, .... Loved the red Sunbeam Tiger Mark I even better though. 260ci V8 designed by Carrol Shelby. Transplant a stroked 302 with a dual carb tunnel ram and it would have easily turned it into an Odd Rod. Yeah, you remember that nasty bubble gum and you know you threw it away because it was all about the stickers. lmao

I'm sorry. I don't understand the foreign language you're speaking. 😉 I did love Bazooka, wrapped inside the comic, but you're right about those hard, flat pieces that snapped. I licked off the sugar, then chucked them.
Well, I'm not sure if the "Foreign Language" part is the gearhead-speak, or the Odd Rod stickers, but the stickers take less time to type out. Way back when they had this awful gum, yes in a flat sheet and it was always hard and brittle, but in the package was the stickers with strange hot-rods with weird monsters sticking out of the roof and shifting a super long shifter.
I forgot about that nasty brittle gum. And I do remember saving the stickers/ cards that came inside the wrap. I bet they are worth some money today. They were like a baseball card.
It is weird how some products that were once literally Everywhere, seem to have vanished, but in reality they are still being made. Sometimes it has to do with geographical distribution or company cutbacks or some other reason that they are suddenly lo longer seen in stores.
It reminds me of the Rocky Road candy bar with the red foil wrapper I used to see everywhere on the west coast as a kid in the 70's, which seemed to disappear. Then in the early 1990's I was getting gas in Central Iowa and sitting on the counter was a big bowl filled with, .... Rocky Road candy bars and I was shocked to see them. Thank, you, I'll take two, ... No, Three !! lol
Yeah they are worth a lot more today, ..... but inflation is a beast, so they aren't really that expensive. I saw one that was 75 stickers with 21 different for like $30.

This one might jog another memory. I slapped the stickers on my bdrm door, on my dresser, ..... On my Pee-Chee folder https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d5/ea/88/d5ea88f6598435ec8b96f357455780f1.jpg
I do not remember these folders. Looks kind of familiar though. Thanks for sharing.
I myself haven't seen one since about 1980. But I am sure they still exist. ... Maybe. lol

I got curious and yes, they still make them, but apparently they have been Cheapified like everything else and the reviews seem to be screaming for the Original. https://www.mead.com/p/folders/pocket-folders/mead-pee-chee-2-pocket-paper-folder-assorted-designs/#
