A Chewy Encounter (Lime)
From A KoL Wiki
A Chewy Encounter
As you wander the seedy backstreets and grainy back alleys of BorderTown, you're accosted by a little kid selling chewing gum.
"¿Quieres chicle?" He asks.
"No thanks."
"¿Quieres chicle?" He asks again.
"I really don't want any chicle, kid."
"¿Quieres chicle?"
You walk away but the kid follows you everywhere you go. "Look, shouldn't you be leading around some blind CIA agent?" you ask him.
"Yeah, but I got bored. I mean, ¿Quieres chicle?"
"A-ha! You do speak English!"
"Nope, just 'Yeah, but I got bored.' And this speech explaining that."
"Really?"
"¿Quieres chicle?"
Finally you buy some of the kid's chewing gum just to get him to leave you alone.
 | You acquire an item: lime-and-chile-flavored chewing gum |
 | You lose 30 Meat. |
Occurs at South of The Border.

- The blind CIA agent that is mentioned is the character played by Johnny Depp in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, where he was followed by a kid trying to sell him gum.
- The "Nope, just 'yeah, but I got bored.' And this speech explaining that." is from the "Road to Rhode Island" episode of Family Guy where Brian tries to talk to a Mexican immigrant in Spanish, but the immigrant tells him he's doesn't need to say "me llamo es Brian". Brian then says, "You speak English?" The immigrant tells him "No, just that first speech and this one explaining it." This Family Guy scene is itself lifted from a sketch from The Kids in the Hall.
- This is also a reference to many Mexican children found at towns near border crossings who attempt to sell you gum. They are indeed persistent.
