GUM:
Even though I had to give it up for a while, while in braces, I have fond memories of different chewing gums. One that comes to mind is Fruit Stripe Gum, as well as the various flavors made by Wrigley's.
And Carefree and Trident:
And let's not forget gum balls and their machines:
The clothing label, that is. I had at least one shirt with the familiar Guess logo (though not the one pictured), but am pretty sure I did not have the jeans!
I can't believe this line is still around. The outlet mall in Gilroy, California still has a Guess store, along with other long-lasting clothing favorites such as Levi's, Calvin Klein and The Gap--some of the stores that have been at the outlets from the beginning.
GLOW-IN-THE-DARK
I can totally imagine how many people were fascinated by glow-in-the-dark items. Did you ever wonder how it works?
This is one toy I might have gone after had it come out when I was younger, and at an age for such toys:
Not sure of anything specific, but I may have had some glow-in-the dark items. It seems hard not to get fascinated by such things.

My favourite gum was always Juicy Fruit. I liked Double Bubble too. I can't chew gum anymore, it sticks to my dental work. A true sign of being an old fogey, LOL!
Hi, visiting from the A-Z. Gum's a great word for G. I've never actually liked any, used to spit them out the minute the sweetness wore off. But I remember buying a lot of some brand because the packs had a card in them with the flags of different countries and info on them, which I loved collecting as a child. Thanks for refreshing those memories of a lovely time in my life.
Have a great A-Z and April. All the best for the challenge.
I always liked those gums and flavors.
Glow in the dark things are fun, and my daughters had the glow worm toy. :)
My Dad worked for Beechnut in the 1960's and brought us some fruit striped stuffed animals. I got the red striped zebra.
I'm pretty sure that Wrigley's Big Red was available then. And Dentyne was still kind of popular.
I actually had glo-worm. I like the idea of it lighting up but a worm ? Lol
