  1. About Double Bubble - I don't know if they're still a separate business, but the gum balls I buy for my gum ball machine have Double Bubble stamped on them. They're not very good, though. I keep a bowl of pennies for visiting children to use in the machine and they seem happy with them. :-)

    1. We were Bazooka Bubble Gum kids (two cents a piece)---very pink----very sweet---cavity inducing but we love it. Made the best bubbles!
