I adored Bazooka Joe bubbly as a kid and I would have kept all my gum and those cool mini waxy comics in a bag like this, strapped to my Raleigh chopper!
Oddly there's no mention of Joe on this Gordy packaging.
Did you like Bazooka Joe? Did you have accessories like this bag?
I sure do remember Bazooka Joe! And that damn gum probably killed more teeth than anything else on the planet! SFZ
ReplyDeleteHee hee, you can get them in boxes at our local Spar garage shop in the US section SF! I got some!
DeleteBazooka Joe - most definitely a part of my childhood, along with PF Flyer tennis shoes, skate keys, candy cigarettes and a host of others from what is now The Lost World (our youth). However, I never knew that accessories like this existed.
ReplyDeleteMe neither, Ed!
DeleteBut I really remember those Bazooka Joe mini comics!
Along with other Childhood treats like Bag of Gold bubble gum, in the fabric bag with the yellow thread drawstring.
...and lengths of bark covered wooden sticks, capped with bands of gold foil. When you chewed them, the yellow fibrous interior lasted of liquorice!
Anyone else remember those?
What are PF tennis shoes and skate keys Ed?
DeleteAh, yes, sticks of natural liquorice. Very chewy Looey! Delicious. Definitely still around.
DeleteNow that you mention it Lewis, Bag of Gold gum sounds awfully darn familiar! hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteBags of gold, I think they were called Golden Nuggets maybe, little pieces of chewing gum in that classic drawstring mini sack! Oh wow. And I reckon retro sweet shops still stock 'em!
