Awesome! I haven't seen this commercial since I was a kid! I never knew the name of the puppet who always took the gum and said, "So Long!" I always called him "The Bubble Yum Bandit." Thanks for the memories.

The urban legend that nearly killed this brand; spiders' eggs in Bubble Yum.
It had to be deliberate because this gum was just the greatest. And the rumour was on both sides of the candy counter. One teenager at the local deli even confirmed (lol!) that it was going off the market, circa 1977.

I remember when Bubble Yum came out. It was my first year in Junior High School. So, this commercial must be dated 1975-1976. I also remember them taking it off the market because of some health issue. It came back a few years later but it never tasted the same.

Fun memories! What year did this commercial come out? Was it '77, or '78?

I use to see red furry creatures talking to me at my library. Then I went away for a long time ...

Love it. The puppeteer was Bill Baird. We had a lot of fun - thanks for uploading a very, very old commercial of mine . . . brings back memories.

Thanks daftmahatma, hope you get your comp. issues straightened out! My capture device died and I'm working on a replacement so I can upload more VHS material.
