I bought a 'Bubbly' from our local sweet shop yesterday. Just as pink, just as tasty. Recommended!

Re: anyone remember these bubble gums

The name of the germoline bubble gum has eluded me for years. I remember it well. It was pink and had the two smiley face tattoos that were yellow with a blue outline and had different expressions. I think it came in a white wrapper but I can't remember anything else. I also remember those little books. They were in those egg machines, though the ones I came across never had bubblegum in them. You could always see what was in the eggs as they had one transparent end. I always wanted a book or a ring, but usually ended up with something rubbish - so rubbish I can't even remember what else came in those eggs!

I had a couple of Bubbly's a few weeks ago. Just as good as I remember 'em from thirty years ago!

Topps Ireland Garbage Gang Bubble Gum from 1990. Each piece of gum came with a single sticker. There are 30 in the set, but only 6 of the 30 could be found in each box of 150 gums..... so neadless to say it was a very difficult sticker set to complete.

Not seen 'Zooks' in years. It wasn't bubble gum though. They were like orange and lemon 'nerds'.

I remember Dentyne, around my area it was cool to chew Dentyne. The red one (one I liked the most) was cinnamon flavoured. It also came in green - spearmint (or fresh mint) and blue - peppermint (or cool mint) but red was the best! Shame it's not around now. I think there was also a black packet which was menthol and aniseed or menthol & liquorice.

On a different note does any one remember the bubble gum that was rectangular in shape and was half pink and half lemon. You peeled off the side (flavour/colour) you wanted to chew and kept the other sie for later. Don't recall the name, pehaps some one will remind me. I think the wrapper was also pink and yellow but not sure.

Could it have been Dentyne? It smelt antiseptic and tasted it a bit as well. Was in small pink strips.

Anyone remember buying this beast?

Re: anyone remember these bubble gums

I've come across these before but in white, the green ones apparently were much harder to come by. The ones I found however only had the price marked with a cent sign, so I assumed they weren't sold in the UK

If you look on flickr there are some photo's with the gum shown along side the containers.

I can remember the Anglo Bubbly. I can remember them been quite chunky, they were round in shape and pink in colour. My favourite bubbly though, had to be Bazooka. I can remember they used to have a little coupon in with different things you could collect the coupons for, once you had enough coupons you could send away for whatever it was you had wanting. I can remember them been, footballs, watches, kites. The Bazooka bubbly was lovely, although it did not have a very long lasting taste
