beneteau

and my favorite double bubble

1FMJ

Yuup had all of them when I was young.<1FMJ>

timinpa

I remember beech nut, dentyne, chicklets, and beemans

CSI21

the first three were horrible, yuck

ole44

they still sell them here

HandLoad

I can still get most of those.

But, Yes, I remember them and a whole lot of old candies, too - The neurons still fire.......mosst of the time.....

I'm pretty sure Chiclets brand is still around...at least we had them in the house as late as the early 2000s.

Is bazooka the one with "bazooka joe" comic in the pack?
I thought I saw those as late as the late 90s...except the gum was called something else, IIRC.

Yep, as well as the "Teaberry Shuffle". Chum Gum gave you two sticks for a penny so you could share it with your chum.

jwb267

you can buy most of them around here[:p]

Bazooka is still available. I bought some a few months ago at a convenience store. I think it was about 25? for each piece.

Did you ever dump the Chicklets out of the box and refill it with
Ex-Lax chewables, then share some? It was fun.

No, but I did it the other way around. [:D]

big geno

Cracker Barrel has most of them for sale.

yep,remember them all.

We can still get Black Jack, Clove, Tea Berry and Bazooka in bags. It is not the same as when you got it wrapped in a waxed comic square shaped packages.

But the Black Jack, Clove and Tea Berry are sold in .25 Cent packages. I do not chew much gum. But when I do buy a pack it is one of those.

JnRockwall

blackjack and clove were rereleased several years back, they still sucked.

Dentyne, i actually had not noticed had disappeared, I am not a gum person. Chicklets were pretty good, but expensive.

The baby girl and boy cigars are still available.

Bazooka was good gum if your teeth survived the first 3 minutes while trying to soften it up

Spartacus

i recently bought a 20 pack of black jack. 5 pcs per pack
anyone wanna trade a few packs of beemans 1:1?

Old-Colts

All but Teaberry and Bubble Chum Gum.

striperbware

I chewed all of those as a kid. Another brand from those days was Adam's sour gum. And don't forget " Fruit stripe " with the psychedelic giraffe.

How about Juicy Fruit and baseball cards with a strip of bubble gum in them?
