My friend and I would walk to a nearby convenience store, in the 1970's, & one of my favorite things to get was Bub's Daddy! I look for it when I'm in specialty candy stores & have told our kids about it. My favorite flavor was the original, and when feeling brave, I'd get the red hot kind, but it was way too powerful to chew for very long! I wish it would make a come-back so our kids could experience it.

Back in the sixty's we use to walk to the nearby candy store just after school to purchase Bub's Daddy Gum Watermellon was one of my favortes. along with grape my best freind and me would walk home with a large bag FULL!! of gum and other hard Candy. needless to say my mother was not happy with it. But wow did I really enjoy that GUM!!

I sure loved the grape and original flovored Bub"s Daddy. I would give my school lunch money to a guy named Shorty who went "home" for lunch. He'd load up on Bub's Daddy gum and the big sized Sweet Tart candies and we'd have a sugar buzz all afternoon. By about 3pm my belly would be awful sore, but we'd do it all over again several times a wek. Those were the days. I wish I could get my hands on some of that delicious gum today!!

I remember Bub's Daddy was THE BEST bubble gum back in the '70's. Nothing could compare, grape was my first favorite followed by red hot and watermelon. It also had the longest lasting flavor. When I played little league baseball most of the other guys and I would start the game with a "rope" folded up in our back pocket and chew the whole game. You could see a lot of the kids on the field with a rope of Bub's in their back pocket and HUGE wad in their mouth. Yep, those were the days.

Here's THE BEST PART OF BUB"S DADDY that no-one is mentioning. You could slowly feed 6 or 7 inches of this stuff in, getting it to blend nicely. After having accomplished the feed, you could blow BIGGER THAN HEAD sized bubbles. Many contests were had. Technique was learned, so there were many times this stuff had to be SCRUBBED out of eyebrows and hair. The aching jaws were worth the fun. Thats the best way to have and remember one of the greates bubble gum creations ever!

Bub's Daddy gum was the best!!! I wish they would bring it back, too!! I was just telling my kids about it!! I remember it was the "cool" treat to bring to school & pass out to your class when it was your birthday!! :)

Information on other internet sites indicates Bub's Daddy is no Super Bubble long lasting. I haven't had a chance to search it out yet, but I will!

I don't see anyone mentioning Green Sour Apple Bub's Daddy - that was my favorite! Got it at the Little League concession stand or at Bickham's Dime Store in the home town.

Also, IIRC, I'd guess it was more like 3/8" diameter and 10" long, as opposed to the dimensions listed at the top of the page. But hey, it's been 30 years since I handled a piece.

Yep, Bub's Daddy gum was one of my all-time favorites. Watermelon and grape. There was also a gum that was about as big as a deck of cards (not quite that thick) for a nickel. I used to get a major jaw ache when I chewed the whole thing. I can't remember the name of this gum.
