    Hubba Bubba soda?

    When did they make this?

    Did it really taste like the gum?

        I remember it in the late 80s.

        it tasted like stale bubble gum. really no other way to describe it.

        it wasn't good, and I'm not surprised nobody ever heard of it.

          I heard of it. It was OK. It did taste like liquid bubble gum.

            I'm just glad Topps never put it out.

              I remember trying it some time in the very early 90's.

              >Did it really taste like the gum?

              It was like all the sugar you'd eaten in your life, up to that point, in one mouthful. HORRID stuff. I still get queasy thinking about it.

                I don't remember the soda at all, but I always liked the commercials they had for the gum that were western-themed, with Don Collier doing basically a John Wayne impression and Dub Taylor as his sidekick.

                  I'm trying to remember, but I don't think regular Hubba Bubba even tasted that great to begin with. Wasn't their claim to fame the no-stick formula?

                    It tasted like someone spit gum juice into water. I remember this in the late 80s, or at the latest 1990, because I lived in Virginia when I had it, and when we moved, in 1990 I do not remember having or seeing it after that.
