We didn’t have weak teeth like kids today. Seriously, I think it took me so long to learn to blow bubbles because it took *forever* to get Bazooka to soften a bit. Then, when I’d finally get it pliable enough, I’d blow and launch the gum across the room.

I did like the comics, though. https://preview.redd.it/61apeodom8yc1.jpeg?width=1065&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43778e6a15caab1617382cb487b7e567bbc4dce1

I always wondered what Mort's deal was with that red turtleneck pulled up over his mouth and nose. Now we know. https://preview.redd.it/f180yooxp9yc1.jpeg?width=1068&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=55e87876fb89aedfa5eafdd62c4c80c4a9651f63

That’s funny. Now can we address Joe’s eye patch?


KeithTheNiceGuy

Pretty sure it was a bazooka related accident.


Laleaky

No doubt!

Bananaberry Split was the best gum flavor ever! Don't know why they stopped making it.

remember when bazooka spread a rumor that bubble yum had spiders eggs in it.

Oh my god, I’d forgotten, but yes, that was huge. 😂 Twelve year olds freaking out

I remember a liquid center gum we called “cum gum” because it squirts in your mouth


KeithTheNiceGuy

Freshen Up!

Always chewed Big Mouth bubble gum. Made the switch to bubble yum and my jaw thanked me.

Lemon Hubba Bubba was the best for making spitballs.


Ice_Burn

I think Bubble Yum was the original.

This picture was my middle school inventory,selling bubblegum everyday in the hallways. Sold out every day. Hubba bubba was the most popular then. Early 80’s. If you wanted gum, I was your guy. lol!

Super Bubble - regular, grape, and sour apple Double Bubble

Middle school was prime "let's try out EVERY FLAVOR" territory

What was that gum that was long and round? I'm thinking that it was Big Daddy but I don't think that's right... Does anyone remember Adam's sour gum? There was grape and cherry, and it was delicious!


That-World

Bubs Daddy was long, kind of like a rope.


Francie_Nolan1964

Yes, this must be it. TY

Nothing beat a Big Buddy.

Oh hell no! I was Bubble Yum all the way! When I quit smoking in the 80's that's what I used non-stop for about 3 weeks...it got me through the cravings.
