Was that Mail Pouch just by chance Elephant Mail Pouch? That's what my grandfather use to chew, it was in a white pouch with red lettering...as they use to call it "Bacca". My grandfather use to send me down to the store and get him a pouch of bacca and a box of Parodi's(?) It was terrible if he ever fell asleep while chewing..eeck..he would drool bacca juice...yuck--talk about gagging!
Yea, I don't get it. My grandfathers generation--drank, smoked, never exercised since WWII, ate bacon/pork chops/scrapple/eggs/hash browns for breakfast and all died from old age! Here I am trying to do the right thing and get cancer at 37...go figure.
