If Bazooka Bubble Gum wasn’t available where my mom sent us kids to buy her bubble gum down at the corner store, then we were instructed to bring home Dubble Bubble. Can you imagine putting lighter fluid in your hair today? For a short period in my life, it seemed that pink bubble gum was everywhere I traveled. Lighter fluid worked well for gum removal.
Can’t scrape the stuff off the bottom of your shoes.
Kids stuck gum in their hair or maybe that memory involved my sister whose gum rolled out of her mouth at night and stuck to her pillow case, eventually winding up in her hair. Wikipedia says probably peppermint.Ĭan’t say I ever spotted Doublemint stuck under a desk like the ubiquitous wads of Bazooka Bubble Gum. Is it spearmint or peppermint flavor? Nobody knows for certain. Unlike, say, swallowing a piece of Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun, Doublemint. Sort of felt like a big ol’ wad of rubber sitting at the bottom of your stomach with no place to go. I found I had to break it off into little pieces and, when one finished chewing it, after the flavor had vanished, it was fairly uncomfortable to swallow it. It was also way too much gum in my mouth. It wasn’t really acceptable behavior for a University Advisor to chew gum, which is probably one of the reasons she did it.īazooka Bubble Gum had kind of a nasty flavor. I was never a fan of Bazooka Bubble Gum but my mother bought that gum by the busloads, way before Sam’s Club was around. If my mother knew that Bazooka Bubble Gum had fired Bazooka Joe and removed the comic wrapper from the gum package last year, she’d rise up from her ashes scattered at Hillside Cemetery in Minneapolis and lead a flag-waving march all the way to Topps headquarters in New York.
