Four discontinued iconic bubble gum brands we'll never see again - and fans are missing their 'inner

Publish date: 2024-06-17

CHEWING on your favorite pack of bubble gum may no longer be an option for you as four brands are long gone.

Over the years, bubble gum fans have had to say goodbye to some of their favorites due to low demand.

While you may still be able to score some on sites like eBay, good luck finding them for the spare change you used to pay.

Long gone are the days of paying a quarter for a pack as nostalgia has tacked on a fee.

Below we’ve compiled a list of four bubble gum brands that fans were sad to see leave.

1. CHICLETS

The Chiclets brand was discontinued back in 2016 although it still remains a mystery as to why.

For the diehards looking to score some more before they are gone forever, they can head to eBay and purchase a pack.

2. BEECHIES

Another popular gum brand, Beechies, was similar to Chiclets in looks and flavor.

While it was first introduced back in the 1930s, it really took off in the 80s and had at least 10 flavors.

Fans could grab it in Grape, Cola, Banana, Strawberry, or Peppermint.

Unfortunately, fans can no longer grab the gum in stores but much like most things these today, it can be found online.

Just note that you’ll be paying a premium as some sites are selling it for upwards of $19.

3. GATORGUM

Known for its sports drinks, Gatorade tried to break into the chewing gum game back in the 70s.

It may not have had the longest-lasting flavor, but the gum came in two classics: orange and lemon-lime.

While the Gatorade gum changed over the years, there was always some form for sale until the 2000s.

It’s not clear when the gum was actually discontinued as some fans say it was in the 80s and others claim they could still buy it up until the 2000s.

Either way, it’s long gone now and some fans are still crushed.

One Twitter user wrote: “Remember Gatorade gum? It was amazing!”

4. BUBBLICIOUS

Probably one of the most notorious bubble gum brands is Bubblicious.

While fans can still grab some flavors, others have been missing for years.

Many have claimed that there have been at least 28 flavors and 10 of them have been discontinued.

Fans took to Twitter after they were shocked to find that the beloved Cotton Candy flavor was no longer stacked on shelves.

One fan wrote: “RIP to the best bubble gum flavors ever, Bubblicious Twisted Tornado and Bubble Yum Cotton Candy. IDK why both of them were discontinued, but years later my inner child aches for both.”
