Remember "Bub's Daddy" gum?
Any "old timers" here remember Bub's Daddy gum? It was bubble gum packaged in a length about a foot long and it came in several flavors such as regular, grape, apple and cinnamon. The last I remember it being available was back in the early seventies.

"Bub's Daddy" was the best around...waaayyyy better than Bazooka!
I was quite hooked on that stuff...wonder why they pulled it off the market?? It gave you your annual sugar intake in one sitting!

I remember buying it at the concession stand after our little league baseball games. Apparently you can still buy it in "bite size" portions.

Why..that's hard to immagine! Ugh..that sutff has got to be only about 2 clicks better than the gum that comes in baseball cards...It darn near cuts your gums and I think some fresh dirt would taste better.

If you want quality gum, there's Black Jack gum (black licorice flavor) - which is surprisingly good... and there's Beeman's (sort of a spice flavor). My grandma says they came out during the depression when she was a little girl. It's kind of expensive compared to normal gum, but you can chew it a long time and it stays soft and keeps its flavor. Normally I'll chew a piece of gum about 10 minutes and it gets all hard and small and no flavor, but these two gums last a long time and stay soft.
