3.18 - Wrigley’s Hubba Bubba “Ouch” Bubble Gum

Wrigley’s Hubba Bubba “Ouch” Bubble Gum is, I suppose, directed at kids. The gum tin is designed to be like a "Band Aid" tin, only multi-colored and fruity flavored.

Because of the "bubble" word, we add a new category: "Bubble blowing ability".

Comments:
"Gum portions are too small to effectively blow bubbles, but that may just be a factor of the general portion size for gum nowadays. However, when I did try the bubble it held together nicely and achieved a decent size, given the amount of gum. Back in “the day”, we used to chew 3 or 4 pieces of Hubba Bubba at a time to get huge bubbles. I did that with this and it worked out great."
"Good for bubbles initially."
