Hey guys i live here in Ukraine. This bubblegum was made here. Proof at 2:59
(in Russian) Производитель: ООО "Нептун", 68003, Украина, г. Ильичевск ...
(english) Manufacturer: "Neptune" LTD , 68003, Iliechevsk, Ukraine ...
Also, Ukrainian barcocde is 482.
These bubblegums with movie and cartoon heroes, cars, animals, games and game heroes are sold in every shop, so i can buy them (they're very cheap, about 2-3¢ per one small gum bar. That package has 100 gums in it, so it costs $2-3).
Be right back with proofpic :)
p.s. жувальна гумка is "bubble gum" in ukrainian
Back in my days you could buy those for 1¢
From personal experience, the gum isn't hard because it's old, but it's hard because it was made that way.
It might be a painted piece of balsa wood, actually.
I want a box, it would go perfectly with my desk :(

Or maybe Russians are tough like that and need tough gum

I can see it in Chrome so no. I think it is because he is a '04 and they could have had the ability to have GIF avatars back then.
crowbar flavor
I'm so moving to Russia now...
I love how he just went berserk when he opened the grey box.
[QUOTE=Marphy Black;22891305]Yes, I traveled back in time, commissioned a Russian candy company to produce one bootleg product based on a leaked video game beta, surreptitiously delivered it to its past owner who never once opened the package, sat around for six years until the present, and then reacquired the item in [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/HALF-LIFE-2-BUBBLE-GUM-2004-RUSSIAN-PACKAGE-/290438372778?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item439f79ddaa]an auction[/url] for the sole purpose of fooling people on YouTube.[/QUOTE]
Can I have your time machine?
Why would he open it? Sell it for a shitload.
No wonder he spit it out, his piece was Cremator-flavored :v:
So, can you still buy this stuff? I'd love to have a box.

And so I gave you one for irony
[QUOTE=xpod1;22900880]And so I gave you one for irony[/QUOTE]
Hah, I see what you did there. Didn't notice that myself. Rated heart :buddy:
[QUOTE=Sift;22891141]Alyx flavored[/QUOTE]
I'd chew on her bubbles :smug:
I don't care if its fake
GIVE ME SOME
A Weighted Companion Cube and Postal cereal?
Jealous.
[QUOTE=Steak;22900420]Why would he open it? Sell it for a shitload.[/QUOTE]
Perhaps you missed the part when he bought it for 2.25. A shitload indeed.
[QUOTE=Billy2600;22893890]Not sure if this has been said, but the Russian text basically says "Half laif 2"
So yeah.
(I took Russian last year of high school, so I can read the letters and know a few words, just by the way)[/QUOTE]
Actually if you took lessons from Russian, you would know that they type all non-russian word after pronunciation. And funny gum, wanna have some :D
Leaked bubblegum :v:
actually gum is not so hard (i couldn't buy it today), but amybe that guy bought a box of old bubblegums, and post delivery could make it older :D
Yes i ate gums like this on video, and they`re absolutely not wood or fake.
[QUOTE=Jcowscows1;22891115]headcrab flavor :v:
also, it's probably fake[/QUOTE]
that's what I thought
[b]want.[/b]
It's funny how something that I saw in my local store every goddamn day but didn't brought even once became one of the most rare and wanted item on the Half Life community. Shit.
And i thought bazooka gum was hard...
Looks good enough to be a product but suspicous enough to be bootleg.
Thats a lot of gum in that box.
Did you take any highrez pictures or scans of the boxart & stickers? or do you only have the video
