This is the hands-down winner as far as sugarless gums are concerned.<br /><br />I started with three pieces, and I had to chew for about 45 minutes before the bubbles started getting really good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499683257701375749.post-15062125520870451582010-11-10T08:27:52.882-05:002010-11-10T08:27:52.882-05:00You're absolutely right, Anon.

I went into this Special Feature not knowing what the end result would be: the goal was to find the best bubble-blowing sugarless bubblegum-flavored gum out there, which is evidently a tough nut to crack. I have procured quite a selection of sugar-based bubblegums, and I believe that a Bubble Trials II is in order. I can see the Bubble Trials becoming a recurring Special Feature. Thanks for the suggestion!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13544495777363392684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499683257701375749.post-37499512502856921632010-11-09T17:34:47.615-05:002010-11-09T17:34:47.615-05:00Are you planning to update/expand this special fea...Are you planning to update/expand this special feature? I think bubble blowing is a very important aspect of gum chewing, and this site could use a more comprehensive look at the subject.<br /><br />This trial is great, but the result is not too helpful to one looking to blow the biggest bubbles. Six sugarless gums, and they're all poor at blowing bubbles. What about the gums that are good for blowing bubbles?<br /><br />I see that Hubba Bubba original and Big League Chew come highly recommended, though the only "original" Hubba Bubba that's still in production is Max original flavor. Is this the best bubble out there?<br /><br />Bazooka used to be great for bubbles, but they changed the formula a couple of years back, and the bubbles have suffered as a result. Dubble Bubble is still good, if you chew a bunch of pieces. (It helps to make a "hot gum tea" first to get rid of the sugar, and then scoop out the remaining gum, cool it under cold water, and chew with a bit of fresh gum for flavor.)<br /><br />Any other options I've overlooked? Someone mentioned Dentyne Vanilla Ice. What about Fruit Stripe Bubble Gum?<br /><br />More bubbles please!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499683257701375749.post-19861763705657690772010-07-21T12:48:57.964-04:002010-07-21T12:48:57.964-04:00I personally love Trident Bubblegum to the point w...I personally love Trident Bubblegum to the point where I should invest in the stuff! My only complaint is that the flavor is so strong and good right away, but fades pretty quickly from the amazing strong flavor you get at the start. The Stride Uberbubble makes me nauseous. Extra's bubblegum tastes ok, but I can take it or leave it. I like Orbit, but find I have liked it less and less over the years. @Miranda - I totally remember the original flavor, which was great! I wonder if I'd still like it as much now that I've become such a fan of the latest flavor. <br />None of the gum blows that great of bubbles, regardless.terahmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03714562706856590099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499683257701375749.post-68258843629817707872010-06-08T13:03:08.373-04:002010-06-08T13:03:08.373-04:00The best gum I ever found for blowing bubbles as f...The best gum I ever found for blowing bubbles as far as satisfaction with the bubbles was not a bubblegum flavor at all, it was Vanilla Dentine Ice.ebidebbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433872736452882213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499683257701375749.post-77469939031250636992010-05-18T20:24:51.788-04:002010-05-18T20:24:51.788-04:00I used to love sugarless Trident bubblegum, way ba...I used to love sugarless Trident bubblegum, way back before they changed the flavor (actually they have changed the flavor twice now, since when I used to like it).

It seems like you could go a long way by marketing something that had the crazy flavors and bubble-blowing ability of, say, Hubba Bubba, but was made with a sugar substitute instead... for one thing, it'd be a good way to promote good oral health.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
