It even smells good
The color is pleasing
Crayola named a color this
It even looks good
Place it in your mouth
enjoy the sensation
It even tastes good
As it softens it is better
More manageable
It is so fun
Work it around your tongue
form it into a zero
It is fun to blow
Nothing quite like bubble gum.

Nicely explained! I'd imagine this even without the image!
Love bubble gum too.... But I am a teacher.... So I discourage bubblegums in school. :)
It makes my jaws hurt, but I still love bubble gum.
I use to have one of these machines, I wonder now whatever happened to it.
My kids use to love putting their money it and getting a gum. Mine stood on a longer stand.
Thanks for stirring up some memories......:-) Hugs
I love smelling bubble gum...unchewed, of course.
I love the machine, I'm not so keen on the gum. Great photo though. I used to have a machine like that when I had a 50's diner style kitchen.
We had one of these too, don't know what happened to it. Good memories, take care.
oh but ronda the best is right after its been chewed...yeah i like me some bubble gum....
I don't even really like gum balls... but reading that makes me want one....you made it sound all sexy and delicious..... you are baddddddd:)
A fun tribute to a fun treat. You are right that there is nothing quite like bubble gum. Great writing.
I loved this...so much fun!
I was a bubble gum chewer as a kid, and as a teenager, young adult. Then I kind of lost interest, but I can blow a bubble inside a bubble, so I am an expert! Fun post, TB!
I like gum every now and then, but must admit bubble gum kills my jaw. But the colors and description here are great! Makes me want to be a kid again.
My mouth is watering for a piece! Remember the pink Bazooka with the split down the middle, in case you wanted to share a piece. Do they still make it like that?
Yum... not to mention those huge bubbles popping on your nose!
Yum! Nothing quite says childhood like Bazooka
Brosreview, glad you like the post.
Shadowthorne, maybe not in school, but as soon as school lets out....
Ms Anthropy,If I chew the gum too long my jaws ache too.
Bernie, I like to buy individually wrapped bubble gums.
Ronda, yes the smell stirs up memories of childhood.
LL Cool Joe, I bet your kitchen was a fun place to hang out.
Cinner, glad to help you remember good times.
Brian, remember "already been chewed" bubble gum that was passed around?
Shanel, I like the two words together "sexy and delicious", thanks.
Jeanie, thanks for letting me know you enjoy the post.
Jana, fun is good, isn't it?
DJan, I think you won the gold star for the bubble inside the bubble. I could never do that.
Kazzy, I think bubble gum gets tougher the longer it is chewed.
Willow, I still like Bazooka the best and I always shared when I had some.
LadyFi, I would try to blow huge bubbles and they would pop over my face!
Kathy, Bazooka memories here!!
Yum! I'll have a blue one, please!
Perfect!
True!
I had one just like that! Soft bubble gum is the best. Funny, I just realised that must be the only thing I like soft in my mouth! ;-)
Ooooh, I can taste the gumballs now!
Not a big fan of any type of gum. Eventually it will get my jaw popping.
Hilary, good choice.
Mama Zen, thank you.
Ocean Girl, thanks.
Stinkypaw, Bubble gum starts getting hard to chew quickly, so I just throw out one and get another.
Kristina, they taste good, huh.
Otin, I relate bubble gum to playing hopscotch and marbles.
Unless you're old like me..It sticks to my crowns. :( Scheel's Sporting Goods store sells the BEST tasting gum. I chew it for a few minutes then have to get rid of it before it starts sticking....but oh those few minutes are good. :)
Great poem!
Beautiful poem about bubble gum!
Very topical post for here where I work. Somebody brought in a whole gumball machine worth of gumballs, all different colors. I never asked where they got them. Maybe they accidentally knocked a machine over and it broke. Wonder how long a gumball can be good if it's on the ground.
My mother would never allow me to have bubble gum, I believe she considered it a "gateway" which would lead into other vices... such as enjoying food.
I can't chew gum...I swallow it!
Nothing like bubble gum.... unless it rips out your fillings...... the days of me and bubble gum are, sadly, over.... xoxo
Okay...so NOW, I'm craving bubblegum!! And I can't even blow bubbles with it!! You've captured the taste and texture perfectly! This is a fantastic poem and I LOVE the image you put with it! Terrific! ~Janine XO
Oh, and my word verification? gumshe... Yup, gum she chews! ;-)
good memories trying to get the biggest bubble gum bubble before it popped over your face.
My dentist tells me I should not chew gum because of my popping jaw. Always something.
So yummily good!
I am not allowed to have gum. I become obsessive about it. I love it, but I'm not allowed.
Blowing bubbles your way....
The very scent of the pink Bazooka gum is enough to transport me back to my school days (grin). Thanks for reminding me!
realiveman should be realivegumman. I love bubble gum!
Sharon, I know what gum does to crowns. I lost one crown last year and haven't had it replaced.
Pietro, thanks for visiting.
Big Dave, your imagination is awesome. Enjoy the gumballs.
Robert, does that mean you enjoy food too? We do too.
Bond, no you're not supposed to swallow the darn gum, silly!
Ina, sorry to hear it.
Sniffles and Smiles, that is what I hoped to do, get the reader to smell and taste the bubble gum.
lisleman, too bad some of the fun things in life are forbidden when we get older.
Sandy, yes indeed. Very good.
Mami, I could sneak some to you?
Enchanted Oak, thanks for the bubbles.
Shrinky, exactly! Lets be kids again.
Realliveman, I like that. Reallivegumman. Cool.
What a FUN poem! I love the zero in the mouth, too. I'll have to admit that I'm still a big kid and love bubble gum. I can blow a bubble inside of a bubble:)
Nice--I like to make pop the bubbles. I remember getting it all over my face as a kid.
Wow. That was so good. You are an amazing writer!
Hi Julie, thanks. I knew you would like the fun in this poem.
Syd, I picture you as one of the boys I would play marbles with and chew bubble gum.
Life with Kaishon, that's the way I feel about your blog.
sweet poem,
I love the colors in your jar.
It's a forever treat, isn't it??? I don't chew sugar gum anymore, but I sure chew gum at least a couple times a day!
I must have eaten/chewed a ton of it in my childhood. I have the cavities to prove it!
:)
Very nice!! :D
I hardly ever chew gum. Gets my jaws sooo tired right away! lol
Well said. I still remember when I learned to blow bubbles with chewing gum. It was a big thrill.
Sorry I've been MIA but thanks for the heads up on your hubby's FABULOUS music!!!! He's a gifted artist and I'm going to purchase his CD so I can enjoy all the songs for years to come.... And when he's famous I'll be able to say "I knew him when...."
Cheers,
jj
Oh my yes, Bubblegum and the memories, sweet they are, that it invokes! Unfortunately, for the past roughly 15-20 years, chewing any kind of gum has been first difficult and now impossible for me to do as it yanks the old dentures out virtually immediately!
BTW -I DO have my grandma's recipe for the Rhubarb Cream pie! E-mail me and I will copy it and send it to you! (avonlady at gotmc dot net)
There is nothing quite like bubble gum - indeed. One of the world's great inventions!
great fun and so very eenjoyable.
I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles!
Lovely. I could taste it! :)
... I want a bubble gum machine!
Hugs/ Jo.
I love blowing bubbles. Now I wish I had some gum. :)
I really like good black and white photos. I've often wondered what types of photos look as good or better in black and white. I think the project will help me to create better black and white pictures because I'll be on the hook to consistently come up with them. Also I felt like I needed to give Something Sighted a little more focus and structure. :)
I love the smell more than the actual chewing.
Love this fun post!!
mouth watering over here...
Now if they had it in sugar free!
Bubble gum is fantastic...just wish I didn't eat half of my Crayola box before I read the ending.. ;-) lol
P.S. Brown tasted like sh...
Takes me back to those dusty days of an eight-year-old with a GIANT ball of bubble gum. Awesome.
Cheers,
CGF
