Did you ever have a contest to see how many pieces of Bazooka Bubble Gum you could chew????? My Brothers and I did this, and I can remember my record!!!

Have been thinking about this today the neighbor girl saw me outside working and gave me a piece of Bazooka bubble gum..years since I have chewed Gum and blew bubbles.
What was your record????? After today I think the pieces must have been smaller...this is alot of gum...mine was 10!!!!!!!!!
WOW ~ Thanks RumbaGirl. My jaws are so sore with one piece...but it was nice to bring back memories!!!
Pad-D I remember that!!! ABC gum!!!

Kathy---you beat me!!!!!

I remember doing this but couldn't say how many. I know I wasn't the winner. I think the Bazooka then was bigger, it's smaller now.

I think I did do that, but it has been so long, I can't remember how many pieces I put in my mouth. I loved that Bazooka Bubble Gum. I remember it only costs a penny for one piece, I wonder how much it is today. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane..

I remember the contests. Could hardly blow a bubble, with my mouth so full. I don't remember my record. Thanks for the memory.

No, never tried that as a contest. Just a bunch of Bazooka to blow the biggest bubble.

I chewed so much of Bazooka Bubble Gum back in the good old days and we had contests but I don't remember who won. But I am convinced that some of my arthritis in my jaw was due to too much chewing of that wonderful gum. Would still do it all over again.

Yes, I remember doing that, but I don't remember how many pieces I put in my mouth.
Did you ever "share" your gum with another kid? You know, he chews on it for a while, then lets you have a few chews before the flavor was all gone.

Ha, did we ever! ( 8 sisters, 1 brother) lol
We also saved that gum, for days.
Robbed each others and added to the wad! OMG
What a treat!
