ABC

Initialism of already been chewed.

She'd chew the gum until she was finished with it for the day and store it in a tiny box in the refrigerator until she wanted another chew. If I accidentally threw out her gum, she was able to find someone else's ABC gum (already been chewed).

A bottle of beer.

Also, he was low on beer money and, anyway, we'd scoff and wouldn't believe him. Well, this was a pretty obvious come-on, but I reckoned that a good story was worth the price of a couple of 807s.
