plot explanation - Where did they get all of the gum from?

When the Wyld Stallyons in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure have a breakdown in their time-machine, they just have all of their historical buds chew some gum and patch the antennae back together in a feat of extreme engineering that would make the Mythbusters proud. But where did they get all of the gum from? Never mind the ridiculous amount of it.


I don't expect an answer that explains the amount but it's definitely more than a pack. In a phone booth that is already packed to its limits like some kind of college prank, where did they get the gum to do the repairs?


Answer


Ted has a backpack from which he produces several Chocolate Pudding tins



Ted: Here is a treat to make our minor prehistoric pit stop a bit more enjoyable.

The fact that he has enough pudding tins to share is a fair indication that he is prepared with other treats as well and it isn't much of a stretch to imagine that an air-headed high school kid from the 80's would also have several packs of bubble gum in his backpack to share as well.


So where did they get all the gum? From Ted's backpack (which is indeed along for the already crowded ride), and likely before that, the Circle K.
