El Bubble II Bubble Gum Cigars, Assorted Fruit Flavors, Box of 36

Back when I was a kid, you could walk into a supermarket or pharmacy or corner store, and get yourself a pack of gum that was something as simple as "Grape" or "Orange" or "Strawberry"... unlike today where they have combinations like "Pineapple-Mango-Mint" or "Strawberry-Guava" or 15 different variations of mint and fruit. Unfortunately, finding those simple flavors I knew as a kid has become harder and harder. Yes, you can still find strawberry bubble gum locally, or order grape bubble gum from Amazon, but ORANGE... that's the freakin' unicorn that you can't find ANYWHERE, because nobody MAKES it (for whatever reason)... at least TILL NOW! THIS is the orange flavor of my childhood, and in fact - ALL of these are the flavors of gum from back when I was a kid. You get a decent amount of flavor, nice chew, good elasticity, and you can make a decent-sized bubble. These aren't the flash-in-the-pan flavors that vanish after about a minute, there is definitely some fruity aftertaste that lingers (albeit it's not quite as pronounced as the initial flavor). Right now it's been about 5 minutes since I started chewing this piece, and while it doesn't have the same strong grape flavor as it did initially, it's not tasteless either - you still got that grape aftertaste! Don't get me wrong, I DO wish this was sold in bite-size small pieces in 5 packs, like they used to, but even as a "cigar" - you get a good-sized mouthful of gum to chew (seriously, half of a cigar is a good amount of gum). Yeah, it's kinda hard initially (and some people complained about them arriving broken), but they do soften right up after a few chews and it's GUM, who cares if it's broken - either way, you chew it! I would HIGHLY recommend these and will definitely be rebuying them in the future!

These old-fashioned bubble gum cigars are soooo good, so fresh and just as I remembered them. They are a little pricey but worth the chewing pleasure.

Hard as a rock, it will break your teeth!

These are fun. We bought them for my son’s casino night birthday party. They smell amazing and look cute. You get a lot in the box and they’re NOT stale. They’re the perfect size so you don’t have a HUGE wad of gum in your mouth. It’s a good value and you get different flavors in one box. It’s gum so there is no durability.

Quick arrival...a little thi n for a cigar. Good value for money. Using as party favor in gift bag!

Used these to hand out after a college presentation for Finals. I got an A!!!! They were a HIT!!!! And everyone in the class loved them and said the flavors were great! They came very high quality, the wrappers were all in tact and shipping was fast. I will buy these again. I can think of several venues and events where these would be fun to give out.

My kids loved these for a reader’s theater project, but the flavors were not great. Definitely worth the gimmick, but I wouldn’t reach for one if I wanted gum.

This brings back childhood memories. The flavors are good and lasts awhile.

Oh yum. I remember these from my childhood. A little pricey, but it's better than buying them retail.
