This review is sponsored by our friends at BestCandyStore.com! Flavor: Oh, MAN is this gum good. Like, for serious, guys. It's got a liquid center that offers just the perfect amount of soury goodness before fading into this amazing artificial cherry flavor. Being a sugar-based bubblegum, the flavor doesn't last very long, but that's to be expected. This is a gum for kids, and they generally don't have an attention span worthy of a gum that lasts an Extra, Extra, Extra long time. Yes, this is a worthy bubblegum, one that every kid should have in their backpack at all times.
Texture: MAN! This gum is GOOD! It starts out with the delightful aforementioned liquid center explosion and it just goes from good to great. I'd put this in my top 5, nay, my top 3 all-time bubble blowing gums. This gum blows a mean bubble (take note if you're still looking for a gum to use to enter our Bubble Blowing Contest) and it's not overly sticky like some other bubblegums out there. Though I admit I haven't been courageous enough to blow a bubble big enough that it coats my classes upon bursting, I certainly don't have any issues getting it off of my face or lips at all. (ETA: I just burst a bubble all over my glasses, and while it left a smudge, it came RIGHT off with no sticky residue!) The texture is soft, but not mushy. Firm, but not hard. It's "slick" and "shiny" or "smooth" in the mouth, the type of texture I yearn for when I chew gum.
Presentation: Our friend at BestCandyStore.com sent us four flavors of Bubbaloo in a boxes that opens to be displays. A quick google image search leads me to believe that this is the only way Bubbaloo is packaged. It's a shame, because this gum surely deserves a spot next to the Hubba Bubbas and Bubbliciouses of the world. I've never, to my knowledge, even seen it on a counter in a store - I would think that merchants would hesitate to put out this type of display in this day and age, with theft and all. However, a box of 60 of them is only $3.89 over at BestCandyStore.com, and it would totally be worth it if you can't find them anywhere else.
Overall: MAN, THIS GUM IS GOOD!!!!

Looks like there's a peppermint-flavored Bubbaloo out there too, which is awesome since they stopped making peppermint Bubble Yum a while back. Wonder if it's any good.
