Wow, I seriously didn't know this! I always thought that only Ontario and Quebec were targeted due to their large markets. I didn't know that some village kid in the west coast was busting open packs of 52' highs - crazy. By the way, did you ever read The Modern Hobby Guide To Topps Chewing Gum: 1938 To 1956 by David Hornish? I don't remember him mentioning anything about this in his book, but it has been a while since I've looked at it, so maybe he did, and I forgot.
This is an interesting subject and worthy of its own thread.
