I remember that gum I loved it and can't find it anywhere if you find it please put up the link and fyi that was the name of it. Chew Man Chew

You can see a glimpse of it in the trailer for the movie The Killing of A Chinese Cookie. I also think it may have been marketed as Fortune Bubble... but that might have been a different candy.

Did anyone find out the name of this gum? My sister sent me a 70's gift box from amazon.com and I was hoping that gum was in there! WE USED TO CALL IT CHEW MAN CHEW ALSO...

i think the gum was called chew man chew and was sold for one or two cents a piece. the wrapper was orange and inside was a different chinese fortune in every piece. the flavor was great but, did not last very long.

it was called fu man chew and came with a fortune inside the wrapper.

I remeber this gum and it is called chew man chew and i loved it.

It's called Fortune Bubble and they don't make it anymore. It was the best gum ever.

What a trip back to my childhood! As a kid I used to go to the neighborhood candy store and the the kids went nuts over it; this was in the mid 70's..I would also like to find it for our 9 year old daughter. What magic memories it brings from our past. I hope we can find it somewhere!

Oh my god. I have been searching the Web for years trying to find this stuff, but this discussion is the first mention of it I've ever found. At least now I know it did exist and isn't a product of a childhood dream--for a while there I was questioning myself. Anyway, this was the best tasting gum ever. I agree with eddie, I think it was Fu Man Chew. It probably was discontinued because it could be seen as not politically correct. Damned PC.

It was Chew Man Chew & had a fortune in it. I searched for years & finally had a company tell me they quit making it around 2002! Ugh!

Here's a picture. It's Fu man chews. http://www.njedge.net/~knapp/candy.htm

I used to collect the fortunes from the gum. They were numbered and i tried my best to collect them all. The year was 1983.

I loved this gum and I wish I could find some for my kids to try. Too bad it's gone. All good things do come to an end...

Yep! Chew Man chew gun was wrapped indivdually and cost 1 penny/piece where I use to buy it in Stamford Ct. 100 for a buck. Man, I wish they would bring that gum back. Mid 70's for sure!

I was look for the chew man chew gum. I am sorry they don't make it any more. Maybe the company can to a old skool special edition for old times sake. I would chew so much my jaws would ache, i would rub them and stick in another piece! Wow memories

That is not the picture of the chew man chew gum i used to eat. The wrapper was orange with black writing on it.

The gum is called Foo man chew. Do they still make this gum can't find it. Love this gum!

Foo Man or Fu man chew and chew man chew are different gums, I think. Never heard of the Fu man chew, but chewed a ton of the Chew Man Chew gum as a kid.

was look for the chew man chew gum. I am sorry they don't make it any more. Maybe the company can to a old school special edition for old times sake. I would buy as much as I could! Memories

Yes, it was Chew Man Chew. It was the greatest tasting gum ever. Maybe with the whole reintroduction of nostalgic foods that seems to be going on right now (I bought a box of Quisp cereal the other day), I pray someone will start making this stuff again.

It was fortune bubble aka chew man chew.Iwould walk 2miles one way for this when I was a kid and take the risk getting pegged by a car.It was 1 cent a piece and I would buy the entire bucket of it and sell it for 10 cents in school,I was the fortune bubble king.Lets pool our money and get the recipe back and show the youth of today what they are missing sweet dreams to you all.

I've been looking for this too.....I had a dream about it. This is too funny...i loved this gum....i used to buy about a dollar worth almost everyday

Chew Man Chew gum was cool back when I was in sixth grade. I stored away a piece back in 1977. I must have the only piece still in existence. Link is to a picture of it. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/820/dscn2663a.jpg/

I also loved this gum. does anyone remember big bol gum? Actually it was a candy shell with gum inside. That was another favorite and I was able to find that.

I think this gum started out as "chew man chew" then went through a couple of brand changes ( fu man chew , fortune bubble). The fortune was always a wise crack. ie, "don't cry over spilled milk! get your cat to lick it up!" by the way the gum was so hard we always used to call it "choke man choke."

Going through a box of stuff i hadn't opened since I was a kid and found 1 piece of Fortune Gum. Man, what a find.

As Blaine reported six years ago, if you go to youtube and watch the trailer for The Killing Of A Chinese Cookie there is a picture of Chew Man Chew gum at 0:54

It's back, you can buy fortune bubble gum at old time candy

i talked to a friend who owns a candy wholesale business alot of these candies and other foods are only made overseas still and the cost of importing them wouldnt be justifiable.

I remember Chew man chew gum it had a unique taste to other gums around I recall. I got it via a vendor dispenser machine next to a corner shop up against the brick wall. Orange oblong wrapped gum for 1p. Oriental faced chap with hat on and Oriental writing on either side of face. Recall hard to chew for while but then you got the unique taste of gum. It was a taste which gave it something decidedly tad more than some others. Inside wrap was a fortune I remember.

Was it a little Lo-Meiny? Worth a hundred dollar bill?

Seinfeld!

I do not recall this gum, what flavor was it? Cheery? Grape? I wish I knew.
