JCW gum makes you faster

I recently purchased a PCV valve for my MCS from Penske and received it today. The part actually came from INSKIP MINI, and they threw in the coolest thing ever:





It's JCW branded chewing gum!

Maybe it's just me, but things like this make me real HAPPY!

Awesome!
MINI gave out Countryman gum at the MTTS events this year.

What flavor is the JCW?
The Countryman was Eclipse Spearmint.

Does MINI still include a couple packs of the MINI-branded mints with the car when you take delivery?

Some of the dealer-included add-ons were pretty cute. Four years after taking delivery, my wife still has the flip-up switch guard on her convertible top buttons with the yellow-and-black warning that says "It is really necessary to close the top? Be honest."

I didn't get any mints.
Only a keyring from my dealer, and the adventure field kit later on.

Yep it's Eclipse spearmint :D.

Penske just gave me a call to say thanks for posting that. That was nice of them!
