My fondest memory of Teaberry Gum was watching TV one day and viewing a funny commercial with this street cop and others doing a very funny dance to a very catchy jingle. Several days later I heard the same song on my AM transistor radio and the DJ announced that it was the "Mexican Shuffle" by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. In the commercial, it was dubbed the "Teaberry Shuffle" and afterwards, I was hooked on Teaberry Gum AND Herb Alpert. The memory is as fresh today as it was 40 years ago. ~ Tony from Tennessee |
