I have asked numerous friends about this bubble gum and no one I know remembers it. Thanks for letting me know I was not crazy! Tedi What were the other flavors??

I remember running down down the street several blocks, from gradma's house, to the corner market to grab a soda or an ice cream and one of those grape "Big Buddies" (sometimes appple) when I'd visit during the summer. Ah the good ol' days.

The name of the rope gum was called "Bubs Daddy". It came in bubble gum, cherry, grape, & green apple flavors. When I was a kid, it was only 10 cents & it was about 12" long. It was THE BEST gum!!!
Does anyone remember Marathon candy bars? They were carmel covered in chocolate & were like a rope design? There was a commerical with a cowboy & the guy says "you can't eat a Marathon Bar quick, Carl?
Am I the only one who remembers this?

Pirate w/ parrot on shoulder: I'm Quick Claude! I do everything fast, matey!

Parrot: Awk! It's Marathon Man!

Marathon Man proffers Marathon Bar: Betcha can't eat a Marathon bar fast... Quick Claude.

Quick Claude: attempts to eat a Marathon bar fast.

Quick Claude: fails to eat a Marathon bar fast.

Quick Claude: It's soft... and cheeeeewwwwwwyyy!

Hilarity ensues.

Big Buddy grape was the bomb.

Just so you all know, I started looking into whether Bubs Daddy gum was still being produced in other countries. A few phone calls and I found out they still make it here in the US, just not under that name or those long pieces.

Super Bubble is the small version of Bubs Daddy gum. They bought the recipe about 25 years ago and started cranking out regular, grape and apple flavor.

I had to find this out for myself and I found out Wal-Mart had sold bags of this gum for $1.60. As soon as I tore it open, that smell came rushing that would instantly transport you back to the 1970's.

Earlier this year, Wal-Mart stopped carrying Super Bubble, so now I buy it on Amazon in a large tub from whoever has the cheapest price. You can get a tub for about $9.50 plus shipping.

I also bought a case of Chuckles since I uses to love those. Now my daughters are hooked on the same candy I used to love as a kid.

Bubs Daddy used to come in Strawberry, Cinnamon (red hot) and Watermelon too.

Did you know if you freeze a Marathon Bar and then smack it flat on a table it will basically turn to dust...Russ http://theimaginaryworld.com/gum13.jpg http://theimaginaryworld.com/gum.html
