Tucson is very much a college town. Couple that with being a short drive to the Mexican border, and it should come as no surprise that there is no shortage of really good Mexican food options. In 1982, Dirty Sanchez Taco Shop added their name to the list of places to grab a bite. Located in the city's Barrio Hollywood neighborhood, Dirty Sanchez was an unassuming hole in the wall that offered traditional Mexican favorites. Their claim to fame was that they made everything from scratch using abuela's generational recipes. Nothing canned or microwaved – just made fresh daily Mexican food of a quality that rivaled pretty much everyone in town.

Bob was created by former advertising executive Harvey Rosenberg and marketed through his company, Gizmo Development. Bob stood 13 inches tall and came wearing a flannel shirt, tight jeans and cowboy boots with one ear pierced. He was sold in a box designed to look like a closet, and that proudly explained what “coming out of the closet” meant: "Hi boys, girls and grownups, I’m Gay Bob, the world’s first gay doll. I bet you are wondering why I come packed in a closet. ‘Coming out of the closet’ is an expression which means that you admit the truth about yourself and are no longer ashamed of what you are..." Needless to say, Gay Bob is a gay icon.

Rites of Spring was an American punk rock band from Washington, D.C., formed in late 1983. Along with Embrace, and Beefeater, they were one of the mainstay acts of the 1985 Revolution Summer movement which took place within the Washington, D.C. hardcore punk scene. Musically, Rites of Spring increased the frenetic violence and visceral passion of hardcore punk while simultaneously experimenting with its compositional rules. Lyrically, they also shifted hardcore into intensely personal realms and, in doing so, are often considered the first emo band, though the band always rejected the label. This iconic design comes from the band's only studio album, a self-titled effort from 1985.

By the early 19th century, Mexico's middle class had grown tired of sharing their wealth with Spain, and calls for independence began to grow. The Independence movement was launched by two priests, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, and José María Morelos. These men stood up to Spain with a handful of men freed from Spanish imprisonment in 1810, but grew them to over 100,000 in a matter of days, and their numbers only grew from there as they took back cities from the Spanish. Hidalgo was executed in 1811, and Morelos in 1815, but the movement was only strengthened as a result. On September 28, 1821, the first independent government was named, just over a decade after it began, but was followed by thirty years of great political turmoil.

The gum was manufactured by Fleer (the baseball card people), and was available in both lemon-lime and orange flavors.

Regardless, people loved the gum, though its popularity began waning in the late '70s, though lucky for Gatorgum fans, an ill timed long term manufacturing contract ensured the gum was still made until the late '80s.
