Favourite brands of bubble gum!

[Hepcat]

I remember Dad bringing me home those bubble gum cigarettes.  Can't remember how the gum tasted though.

Pick up some of the yellow, green, pink and orange Swell Cigars. They taste the same as the same color of the cigarettes.

Didn't you have to peel paper from around them?

Yes you did.

Here's a scan of some of my Bazooka Joe cards that came with Ton o' Gum:

Cool card set Hep, don't remember seeing those before.  All I remember were the paper ones from the regular 1 cent gum.

In the spirit of Christmas, an old Dubble Bubble ad :

Nice ad! I've never seen it before.

I keep expecting Dubble Bubble to make a strong move in this poll but so far it hasn't emerged from the pack.

Nice ad! I'll dust mine out of Photobucket in mid-October.



In the meantime, how common are tubs of Dubble Bubble in convenience stores in your neck of the woods? Here they're very spotty at best.

This was one of the all-time greatest concepts! Bubble gum wrapped in comic character tattoos. Talk about rad! I mean how much cooler than that can you get?

Sadly, I only have these two from the Mighty Mouse and His Pals series:

Here's a clearer image of the ad CreepysFan already posted:



And another Dubble Bubble Halloween ad:

Bazooka has become hard to find. It used to be owned by Topps, the card collecting company out out PA.
I don't know about now...

[Hepcat]

Bazooka is still a Topps name brand in the States. It was produced in Canada under licence by O-Pee-Chee in London until sometime in the nineties. It's now produced in Canada under licence by Concord Confections near Toronto. Bazooka is, however, tough to find anywhere these days, particularly in the little rectangles that once sold for a penny.

[Hepcat]

Does anyone remember these?



What a great concept! No stuffy grown-ups need apply.

I just popped a couple pieces of Dubble Bubble Sour Cherry Gum into my mouth, while filling treat bags, and I am hooked! It is delicious! And it's a smooth chew that makes for enormous bubbles! I have found my new favorite bubble gum! See, it's never too late to find a new gum!
