When I was a kid in the 1960s and 1970s, I loved Bazooka bubble gum with the Bazooka Joe comics. I even saved many comics to send for a small, plastic submarine that ran on baking soda. I never received it because the Bazooka people didn't have it in stock. I received a voucher so that I could send for a different toy, a "premium" as they are called. I think that I just saved it because I don't remember receiving anything from the Bazooka company.

I went through a phase, I think in the 1980s, maybe the late 1970s,  when I really enjoyed chewing the chocolate-mint flavor of Bubblicious bubble gum.

I also have enjoyed Dubble Bubble bubble gum, usually around Halloween when I was a kid.
