Flavor: Katie and I have been known to have quite lengthy discussions on our opinions of artificial vs. natural flavors. My opinions on grape are clear: Artificial grape is the bomb, yo, and it doesn't get any better than grape sugared bubblegum. While I think Bubblicious could have upped the tartness a bit, it's a worthy grape, indeed. Fades quickly, but that's to be expected in this genre.Texture: The meaty purple cube is just perfect, never too hard or too soft, and the bubbles are phenomenal. I couldn't ask for more.
Presentation: You know, with all the changes in the Gum Packaging world, from the near extinction of the 25-cent packs, to the Plen-T-Pack/Slim Pack evolution, you gotta kind of appreciate the consistency in sugared bubblegums like Bubblicious and Hubba Bubba. The presentation is exactly the same as when I was a kid: a 5-piece pack with the little pull-tab. It's a familar comfort. The graphics are simple yet eye-catching, featuring bright colors and the trendy "swirls" that the iPod generation seems to be so fond of.
Overall: Some gums are just hard to review, and this is one of them. It's just such a timeless classic. When you pick up a pack of Bubblicious Grape, you know what you're getting. You're not "trying it," there are no surprizes or mysteries... it's just a good gum.

where did you find this? I love grape flavored things!
It seems like gas stations tend to be the best places to find some of the harder-to-find flavors of gum, probably to cater to the kids who are going with their parents on long car trips.
Hi,
I've never seen this here in Portugal.
Send me a pack!
José :-)
I've been looking since this was posted. I still can't find it! got any other ideas on where to find it?
I don't know if you have any Dollar Trees by you... but they often have Bubblicious variety multi-packs at the register that may include the grape flavor. Let us know if you find it!
hmm... Still haven't found it. I guess I'll just have to keep looking.
I just brought some - you can find it on Amazon :)
I can say to people that this gum is good for blowing bubbles like the reviewer says. I tryed 2 pieces and after 15 minutes you can get near head sized but of course the flavour has almost but gone. I reckon 3 pieces for the biggest bubbles If anybody wanted to know, have fun :)
