Hi! Around 1974 or so, there was a gum called 'Big Mouth' bubble gum. It was the size of a playing card, but at least a 1/2 inch thick and came in bubble gum, grape, and cherry flavors. I don't know anything about a jaw breaker, but if there was one in the 80's, they stole the name. I know a lot about this gum because I was around 10 or so and I would buy 3 each week with my 25 cent allowance. I also ended up being rushed to the hospital twice because of horrible stomach aches from the gum. Just thought you'd like to know. BTW - I grew up in Michigan in case the gum was only in the central or eastern area. Thanks, Carolynn

I don't know what possessed me to go out and look for "Big Mouth" gum, but I remember exactly what you've described. I am also from the Wayne County MI area, and will never forget the big slab of gum! We'd occasionally mix it with "Zots" fizzy hard candy for an odd twist to. I don't remember Big Mouth gum being around in the 80's, but I definitely remember it in the 70's. And if I remember correctly, the packaging had a large yellow smiley face on the top/front.

These were the best suckers in the world! I used to get them using my paper route money back in the 80s. The sucker itself was SO good (especially the red ones) and the gum in the middle was good as well.

I LOVED the BIG MOUTH suckers. There were so many layers to lick through that my mouth would get sore and it would take a few days to get to the center. My brother and I would get these from the drugstore next to the music shop where my sister took flute lessons. Ah, great memories. I wish they still made them. The flavor was great!

Big Mouth suckers were the staple candy for my brother and I growing up in the 80s. What happened to the best candy ever?

Like the rest of you I remember the slab of gum back in the 70's. If you chewed the whole thing it filled up your mouth. I'm also from Grand Rapids Michigan.

Hi I also grew up in michigan but now live in california. I really miss bubs daddy and big mouth gum. At least my cousin sends me faygo from time to time

Does anyone know who produced the Big Mouth on a Stick candy? I would love to request to the company to make some!! I have so many childhood memories when they were out..it seems like it was forever ago. Feel free to email me at ladycop322 at comcast dot net. I guess I have to spell it that way bec no other links or codes are allowed. thanks to all for your help... michelle

OMG!! I loved those suckers aswell! they came in purple red and pink, it was about 6yrs ago a local candy store called Fizzywigs was getting them, and I kept asking the company that was supply them, but they refused to tell me :( and now they dont sell them anymore

I have been on a quest for Big Mouth Suckers for years. I saw them on a trip to Canada in 1995. I bought as many as I could find. I think they were made by Leaf candy company. If anyone knows a source PLEASE post! BigMouthFreund!

In the early 70's I used to get a big mouth lollipop at a pool club I used to belong to. Me and my friend jennifer would rush to the swing set there and knock the lollipos on the medal poles trying to crack them so we could get to the gum. It would take us at least 3 days to get to the middle. When you started it up the following day it was totally chalkie and dry until you started licking again.

I too have been looking for these pops they were the best pop ever we used to get them at the stand at our softball games. I would love to suck on one its been years.

They are made by Topps - the peeps that make the baseball cards and ring pops. They were INCREDIBLE and I am on a quest to find them again...if anyone knows please post!

Topps made the Big Mouth and they were available up till about 1996 1997 I know cause I craved them when I was pregnant. The gum was so great cuz it was the same gum in Baseball cards.

I haven't seen bigmouth bubblegum since the 70's. I do remember it because it was about 2" X 3" X 1/2". It was a huge piece of gum. I mostly remember it because I was chewing grape and lost a filling.

I was in Northern California when bigmouth gum came on the seen. Our Jr. Highr school was right across the street from some candy machines that had the gum in it. I remember sneaking across the street and purchasing my share. I remember there being grape, apple, cherry. Those were the good ole days.

I absolutely loved those suckers.. As I was reading the blogs that different people have posted it truely takes me back to my childhood. Those were the days. If anyone finds where we can get the suckers please post the information... I would love to have one right now. Expecially with spring and softball/baseball season beginning..

I loved those suckers as well and trying to find them online. I havent come across them yet. I hope one day they will come back. I see that many other candies you can order from way back them. i miss those big mouth suckers.

I loved big mouth gum and I have been on a quest for it also with no luck. Grape was the best it came in that square and you would jus tbite a hunk off and chew it. I am also from Flint Mi

I loved these suckers too....They were the only sucker I really like and now I eat jawbreakers cuz there is no more of them suckers LOL....My favorite was the orange followed by the red....I really wish they would make them again!!!!1

I was an avid fan of Big Mouths too and have been searching for them not only from Canada - their original source from the Topps Candy Company but also in retro candy places on line. No such luck. I wish too they would make them again.

they also made sour big mouth suckers for a while...they were incredible. the green was my favorite!

OMG i thought i was the only person in the world who even knew about these things. and yes about the time they stopped making the regular ones i found teh sour ones didnt like em too much man id kill for a box of purple big mouth suckers. I used to go to the minitmart down the street and buy handfuls of them all the time. does anyone know who made them and where i can find proof they did exist at one time no one believes me. Also it went great with a Tasty.

Big mouth suckers were the best lollipop ever created. i have similar sentiments to those listed above. the closest sucker i have found to a big mouth is the Paintball Pop which is at espeezcandy.com. got one in a gas station in ohio and it tastes similar to a big mouth but does not have gum. please post if anyone knows how to get bigmouth sucker.

Yes, I so remember these Big Mouth Suckers....and I do have 2 of them tucked away for just keep sakes, I've taken them out and my kids are asking "why do you have them and if your not going to eat them can we?" NOPE!! but I have the address on the back of the wrapper I'm pretty sure they were made by "Topps" I wish the company would go looking in their vault and get the recipe back out and make them, I know my kids would love to have some....
