Inspired by the cereal thread, what is/was the best bubble gum

  • Manhattan Buckeye
    While shopping at Kroger for the impending snowstorm, I noticed that they don't sell bubble gum anymore at the counter, the days of begging your mom (or grandparents) for instant sugar apparently are gone. A pity. Back in the day bubble gum was a way of life, and had incredibly awesome Saturday morning cartoon commercials.

    So what was the best?

    I used to love Big League Chew when I was little.
    I haven't seen any for a long time.

    Note, this site takes a while to load sometimes, but it is worth it. For those that grew up in the 70's/80's/early 90's this is fantastic!

    Those 2 were my favorites, the stale gum you got when you bought baseball cards and buying bazooka for a few pennies sure brings back memories!

    Awesome...........the days of the 5cent candy jars sitting on the counter!! I came here to post I never really chewed gum but the Bazooka reminded me I did.

    I always enjoyed Big Red gum because it always recruited the candy around it, thereby giving you more for the money.:P

    I chewed a lot of it but the flavor only lasted about as long as it took to get from center field to the duggout!
