Do you still remember the free comics strip from Bazooka bubble gum?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532) 2 years ago

I dont know if this bubble gum was still available in the market but when I was a kid , I'm so crazy about it not because of the sweet and chewy pink gum but because of it's free comics. I use to collect them and paste them in an album. This is a very random and crazy childhood nostalgia I have now. I was kinda curious if Bazooka bubble was still available and if they still have the comics strip.

i remember the comic strips,but i prefered the gum as it had a very distintive taste,it's hard to describe,,yes you can still get the gum in the uk,but only in a limited amount of shops and there's no more comics strips in them,just gum


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I cant remember the taste of this gum anymore but i do remember that its pink and it has an eraser like shape.I really dont know why they decided not to make comics anymore while we can still have new issues.

I disagree. I thought the gum tasted kind of artificial bubble gum. I do like bubble gum though, but Id choose mint or cinnamon over bubble gum any day. I think I read the comic strips a few times, but I wasn't really interested in either. I used to get the gum stuffed into my goodie bags.

I remember the gum from when I was a kid. It was Bazooka Joe, I used to go crazy for it. I have not seen the gum since my childhood and if I remember rightly you could save the wrappers up and send off for gifts.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I have a cousin who got a ring from bazooka before, I think its one of the coolest gum of its time. Its really sad that its now out of its prime for they were a relevant to our childhood.

Yes, I also like this bubble gum too. I used to chew on them and I also read the comic strips that was on them too. They still sell these bubble gum. I have seen them around lately. You can google Bazooka Bubble gum and see what results that you will get. You may will be able to buy some from a company.

The bubble gum was still available but the comics were nowhere to be found,Most gums today have free sticker tattoos instead of mini comics.

Yes I do believe that Bazooka Bubble Gum is still available, but I do not know if the comic strip is still available. I don't think we really got Bazooka that much it was usually Fruity Stripes and they had tatoos or jokes, i forget which.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I miss those little comic strips, anyway those comic strips will be adopted in a Hollywood movie. I dont know how its going to turn out though.

I can remember the days of getting Bazooka bubble gum and enjoying the free comic. It was a special treat along with the gum. I never thought of collecting the strips. I'll bet they would be worth a lot of money today.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

It would have been a hot item at ebay, I only knew this this will be expensive today. Now there were no more to be found.

yes and i have kept 1 strip. here it is:

the character in red sweater with blackeye says: "i just had a fight with toughie. after it was over, he crawled to me on his hands and knees."

bazooka joe: what did he say?

red sweater: come out from under the bad, you coward! lol

i also have a scrapbook of comic strips cut from newspapers. happy

we had comics with mickey, donald and goofy, archie, and tintin. i tried drawing the faces of archie and his friends on time. it was my first and last attempt. i still have it. happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

LOL that was very funny,I think I have that issue before. I think that strip is now expensive in EBAY because lots of collectors were crazy to have it.

h i albert,

looks like since childhood you really are into comics! happy

well i remember the brand , the gum and those comic strips but i don't really give much attention on the comic strips coz me and my friends are usually excited having our bubble gum to have a competition on who can make biggest balloon!lol

i am not sure if its still out in our market coz i don't see them for ages now and i don't even see children having it...


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I heard it was still available in some other countries but there is no more comics, I should have collected those comics because they were expensive in ebay right now. That is the biggest mistake of my life.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ckyera (4912)   ranked 55 out of 397 in candy  2 years ago

ah okay, maybe we still have it here also but not that popular anymore. i will try looking at it. hehe

really? i thought you collect them when you were a kid? don't you keep any now?
well don't blame yourself, hehe no one knows that it will be a collector's item after 20+ years! shocked


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I guess we should collect anything that can be collected from now so we can ebay them after a decade.

Oh yeah, I remember the days when we'd beg mom to buy us a whole pack of those because of the comic strips. She ended up regretting doing so because we forced ourselves to eat much just to get the comic strips and ended up with sore throat.

My brother did accumulate those trips but majority of the strip were just repeated. I think there were only about 10 different strips all-in-all.

As for availability, I haven't seen that one for a long long time. I guess they've gone bankrupt or something.

Oh my the way, speaking of bubble gum, remember Chicklet? The mint squares by Wrigley's (Makers of skittles and Juicyfruit Gums)? They're non-existent (Chicklets) in our country anymore but my boyfriend showed me that they still existed in the same packages (red, green, and yellow) in Doha, Qatar on his trip there. It's really funny seeing those things.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I heard there were about 50 Bazooka comics to collect, I should have collected them when I have a chance and sell them to ebay later. I just heard that the Bazooka Joe comics will be adopted into a live action film.There were still chicklets in my country but they were not famous as they used to be.


myLot reputation of 96/100. laydee (6297)   ranked 193 out of 397 in candy  2 years ago

Oh really, live action movie hehehe..


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

Yes it was already in production, I have no idea how they can pull it off.

Yes I still remember Bazooka with comic strip, if im not mistaken the name of the boy in the comic strip is Archie? Oh well I think this gum still exist. I buy this cause I like the gum and the comic strip too but I don't collect them. Im not too keen to collect all those old stuff.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

The name of the boy is actually Joe. If I have the chance, I should have collected them because they cause a lot of money nowadays.

I'd rather save money for more important things than that. I have a craving for bags and clothes. Oh really need to save. haha.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I rather be healthy and young looking than having bags and clothes though,lolEternal youth! I want me some Eternal Youth. LOL
