Eyesa Horg Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) All the above! And the little comic in the Bazooka gum. Oops, just noticed you added that! Edited March 31 by Eyesa Horg Added text 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I always like Fleer the best...Bazooka Joe miniature comics. Back then, it really didn't matter...baseball cards, comics...it was bubblegum. That was some weird white stuff on the card gum though. Double Bubble...meh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white powdery stuff is cornstarch to keep it from sticking to the paper too much. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 The sheet of gum was awful. Bazooka gum with the Bazooka Joe comic was the best. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a foot long stick, maybe about half an inch diameter, Bub's Daddy, that I though was better. But no comic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I of course remember these things, but I just looked up Bazooka Joe comics on the interweb, just to see what's there. People are SELLING the darn things! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 In grade school we would toss cards against a wall at lunch break. Basically gambling. Closest and leaners won. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I loved all that ol’ timey bubble gum. Bazooka was my favorite. I would trade the cardboard bubble gum for whatever baseball card was offered…or some Bazooka. 8 hours ago, Subdeacon Joe said: There was a foot long stick, maybe about half an inch diameter, Bub's Daddy, that I though was better. But no comic! Joe, I haven’t seen that gum or an image of that gum in 50 years. I forgot all about it. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 2 hours ago, Eyesa Horg said: Never experienced that one or the Bub's Daddy. Big League Chew. Came in a pouch like Red Man, so you can stand out there on the pitcher's mound at your Little League game, and get you a couple fingers full out of your pouch and stick it in your mouth and chew it, just like a real big leaguer. I was too old for bubble gum when Big League and the tape measure came along. So I never used either. And I never heard of Bub's Daddy. Don't know if that was a regional thing or what. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
