Thanks - your shared memories bring back good memories of my own. Thanks.
The, then newly introduced ‘Bubble Yum’ was a bit of a splurge vs. the faithful stand-bys, but for us borderline teens there was something very unique and satisfying about the soft chewiness, improved and longer lasting flavor vs. Bazooka/etc., and the attractive color of the bright & inviting rectangular, multi-piece package which could be a pain to open from the ends once in awhile. There were a lot of options to choose from but BubbleYum ranked right up there with my limited, unreliable and discriminating weekly candy money!
