The Topps Company developed its Bazooka Bubble Gum product in Brooklyn, New York after the end of World War II. It was named after the humorous musical instrument which entertainer Bob Burns had fashioned from two gas pipes and a funnel in the 1930s. (This contraption also gave its name to the armor-piercing weapon developed during the War.)

Bazooka, with its distinctive name, taste, and red, white and blue logo and packaging, soon became a familiar part of Americana. As a matter of fact, a psychological study of tastes and smells that bring back memories found that one of the most frequently identified items was Bazooka Bubble Gum.

Bazooka is also famous for the popular series of Bazooka Joe comics, first introduced in 1953 to add extra interest for youngsters. Topps has developed more than 700 comics over the years.

Bazooka Bubble Gum memories... When I was a little girl about 5 years old, I would walk up to the corner store and buy Bazooka Bubble Gum by the handfuls, it used to be about 1 or 2 pennies back then, I did a really silly thing, I will never forget because I got in trouble for it! I would empty my papers and stuff from my tote bag and fill it with lots of bubble gum, when my kindergarten teacher looked in my bag... boy was I in trouble. Till this day I still carry Bazooka gum in my purse, it's hard to give up something you love so much. ~ Lisa from Michigan

I remember a kinder, gentler time each time I see Bazooka bubble gum. As with virtually any school kid, I wasn't allowed to chew gum in class. But being one who would look for a way to beat the system, I found two ways to chew gum in class.

The first was when we were told to give an oral report on anything we wanted to. I chose bubble gum. In order to make my report more impressive, I handed out "samples" of Bazooka bubble gum to everyone in the class and proceeded to teach the intricacies of bubble blowing. As this was my report, the teacher couldn't say no.

The other time, I went into class prepared for the cliché line "I hope you have enough for the whole class" which every teacher uses to dissuade students from eating in class. When the teacher saw me chewing gum, she asked the question and I was ready. I pulled out a bag of Bazooka and handed out a piece to everyone in class. Fortunately, the teacher had a sense of humor and allowed us to chew the gum as long as we promised to throw it away before we left the classroom. The joy of rebellion was alive and living in my chewing gum. ~ Dennis from New Jersey
