after the flavor would run out, I would just take another piece of gum. After about 2 minutes, I'd have a huge wad of gum in my mouth and no fruit stripe left. ah, youth.

Yeah, ten seconds about describes it haha. I didn't realize Fruit Stripe had been around that long.

I wonder if there was ever a copyright infringement suit over the ringmaster looking like Dick Dastardly. Or is it Snidely Whiplash?

Fruit Stripe gum's short-lived flavor was actually okay if you were a kid. A parent or teacher would always tell you to spit out your gum anyway, so you'd just chew the heck out of it while you walked to the trash can and the flavor would be gone by the time you got there.
