About
As of 2026, it's 47 years old.
Hubba Bubba was engineered around a single noble goal: blow an enormous bubble that, when it inevitably pops on your face, doesn't weld itself to your eyebrows. That non-stick formula was a genuine breakthrough, captured perfectly in the slogan 'Big bubbles, no troubles.'
Arriving in 1979, it turned bubble-blowing into a competitive playground sport and later spun off Bubble Tape, because of course it did.
Soft, sweet, and built for showing off, Hubba Bubba is the gum that made every kid briefly believe they had a future in bubble-based athletics.
