Bubble Gum Cigarettes memories... As a child growing up in Brooklyn, NY, my grandfather
would take us to Loft's candy store. My sisters and I were allowed to
pick any candy we wanted. I always chose the Bubble Gum Cigarettes.
Although he is no longer with us and neither is Loft's, the Bubble Gum
Cigarettes always bring great memories of my child hood in Brooklyn. ~

I can remember as a child going to the store with my
mother and most times we were allowed a treat. One of my favorites
were bubble gum cigarettes. I would always play with them a lot before
I would actually chew them and there was where I was always in
trouble. My father would come home from work, tired and not in the
mood for joking and me being a fun loving kid would always pretend
they were real. My father would raise a stink and then I would gobble
it up and we would laugh for hours because he had yet again fallen for
my silliness! ~ Linda from Missouri
Back in the day me and my grandfather used to sit on his back porch and "smoke" (he used to smoke real cigarettes). It was
a daily ritual we shared every day when I went over to be babysat. We use to sit around in the back porch for hours at a time, and he would
tell me stories of when he was in World War two. When I was a little older we used to play soldier together with pop guns and we used to
smoke 'em if you got 'em. After he quit in the late 80's he used to have bubble gum cigarettes until he passed away in 2002. Those are some
of my fondest memories of childhood ~ Marc from Rhode Island
When I was young my family would visit my grandparents on the weekends. We didn't eat a lot of candy
or gum as kids but when we went to our grandparents house they would have some special treat for us. I'll never forget the bubble gum
cigarettes because they were kind of naughty but really good! Those bubble gum cigarettes will always hold a special place in my heart full
of fond memories. So after finding this website the first thing that I did was look to see if those bubble gum cigarettes were still
available, and they are! Thanks for keeping that special memory strong. ~ Margaret from California
When I was a kid, I bought a pack of bubblegum cigarettes and brought it home to show my mom. I
walked though the door with one in my mouth and my mom screamed. She thought that I was smoking a real cigarette. I would have screamed too
because at the time I was only 6. She snatched it out of my mouth.
She then realized it was fake. I had to explain that it was indeed gum. I laughed at her the rest of
the night. We still bring that story up at family gatherings. Seeing this website really reminded me of my childhood. ~ Emily from
Mississippi
