Just about the cheapest gum you can get and it comes with a free comic that’s usually pretty entertaining. The best part about Bazooka Joe is the mega bubbles you can blow if you shove several pieces in your mouth at once. How many pieces can you fit?

OOO and collecting the wrappers for free stuff!!! haha good times
Most gum sucks nowadays. No matter how many pieces you stuff in your math, you can’t get a decent bubble.
Trying stuffing them all in your math AT ONCE. That might help.
Spelling fail.
Understanding-context fail? Or… stating-the-obvious fail?
In dis club~!
always flavorless
i might as well have been chewing the wrapper

Always hard as rocks. Worst gum ever.
Try chewing it.
Yeah I did. You owe me a new set of teef.
Several pieces in your math?
What kind of math? Algebra? Calculus? Trig?
Calculus.
My dentist says I should floss more.
Used to be sold for a penny each.
I used to be able to fit 5 or 6 pieces in my mouth at once. Then, I found that chewing until it was soft before adding another piece would allow me to get about 10 pieces total in. Couldn’t blow bubbles though. By the time it was soft enough, my jaw was so sore I had to toss the gum.
Back in my middle school chewing gum on campus was a definate breaking of the rules, and so, no one ever had any gum. I used to go to the local 7/11 and buy like dozens of dozens bazooka joes for few bucks, and then sell it at school for double or triple the price I got them for, bought myself Final Fantasy 7 with that money…to find out the game made no sense and it was too emo for me.
Yay! Loved Bazooka Joes.
Original was great. Grape was good too.
Cherry freakin’ sucked! It burned my tongue. Blech!
lol, i remember getting about 100 pieces with a dollar once, the guy at the store got sick of counting them out, so he just gave em the whole bucket of ‘em!
ate it all in a week or two
In Australia (where I come from) it’s Kosher and the comics are in hebrew…this was my Pesach (passover) treat when I was little.
Always liked the comics, except for the fact that one of the characters was named Pud.
I remember buying this for a penny per piece. Sad, there’s no more penny candy.
I even remember two-for-a-penny candy, like MoJos, little jawbreakers, etc. I could go into the corner store with a nickel and come out with enough candy to make me sick. That same nickel would buy a Bazooka the size of a toilet paper roll, and of course I’d cram it all in at once. Once or twice I managed to blow a bubble big enough to cover my whole head when a friend popped it; Mom got pretty pissed when that happened. Good times.
Does anyone know why he wore the eyepatch?
It was caused by a chewing gum accident.
I remember getting this before a flight to California (I’m in MI), my fortune was “It’s not the fall, it’s the sudden stop.” I was eight. I freaked.
I lived in the same neighborhood and delivered the paper to the people who owned Topps when I was a kid. Halloween always brought a crowd to their house but as their news carrier I always got this huge box of Bazooka Joe each Christmas!
The comics were almost as good as the gum itself.
Does anyone remember that song along the lines of, “My mommy gave me a ___ and told me to buy a ___, but instead I bought some bubble-gum. Bazooka zooka bubble-gum!”
The first Bazooka Joe wrapper I ever got had a cartoon about Joe’s best friend (not Mort, the other one with the blond mullet.) The instructions to a paper towel dispenser in a public bathroom said “Pull down and tear off,” so the guy pulled and tore the whole machine off the wall.
