- 🥇 Big League Chew - Original 5.0 bubbles
Few gums are as fun as Big League Chew. Pitcher Rob Nelson invented it in the late 1970s as a wholesome answer to the chewing tobacco baseball players spat back then: shredded bubble gum in a stay-fresh pouch, just like a tobacco pouch. The gum more than holds up. Our testers raved about the classic flavor that lasts a long time and a soft, perfect texture that won't stick to your face. The serving runs small, but double it up and you can blow some massive bubbles. Several of us call it a top-three gum.
Taste 5 · Duration 5 · Texture 5 · Bubbles 5 - 🥈 Marukawa Orange 5.0 bubbles
Fantastic flavored gum from Japan. One of the highest rated gums in terms of taste and the texture is just right. You won't get huge bubbles, but that's ok because you'll be happy with all the other attributes of this exotic gum.
Taste 4.8 · Duration 4 · Texture 5 · Bubbles 5 - 🥉 El Bubble - It's a Girl 5.0 bubbles
This is the gum you get for your friend who is having a baby girl, but who doesn't want a tobacco cigar. If you down the whole thing, it's a massive 20g serving size, so you can make huge bubbles. We thought it was overwhelming. It took 9 min just to chew it down to a manageable hunk. Quite the splurge, but it's worth it if you're celebrating a new life!
Taste 4 · Duration 5 · Texture 3.7 · Bubbles 5 - 4 Dubble Bubble 5.0 bubbles
Dubble Bubble is the OG bubble gum, the first commercially successful bubble gum, invented back in 1928 by an accountant named Walter Diemer. It defined the pink color and the "bubble gum" flavor that nearly every gum since has copied, and it's still cheap and easy to buy in bulk. The flavor fades fairly fast and the gum runs on the hard side, but for big bubbles, a low price, and pure nostalgia, it remains the George Washington of bubble gums.
Taste 4.7 · Duration 3.2 · Texture 4 · Bubbles 5 - 5 Hubba Bubba Max - Sour Blue Raspberry 5.0 bubbles
Hit-you-in-the-face sour bubble gum capable of massive bubbles. We liked it!
Taste 3.7 · Duration 3.7 · Texture 4.3 · Bubbles 5 - 6 Gold Mine Bubble Gum 5.0 bubbles
Gum shaped like little gold nuggets in a fun drawstring bag. Generous amount of gum is included in the bag. Flavor is nice, with hints of banana. The initiate bites were rock hard, but maybe that's by design to mimic actual gold. Packaging is an A+ and the gum itself is a solid B.
Taste 3.7 · Duration 3 · Texture 3.7 · Bubbles 5 - 7 Dubble Bubble - Original Flavor (1928 Formula) 5.0 bubbles
This is not the Dubble Bubble you find at every checkout counter. This is the original 1928 formula, the one Walter Diemer cooked up as an accountant at Fleer. You have to seek this one out, because it's not the version you'll find at most stores. It's worth it if you want to know what Hubba Bubba actually tasted like at the start. The Bubble Bunch liked it, but scores didn't deviate too much from the mass sold version of today.
Taste 3.7 · Duration 3.3 · Texture 3 · Bubbles 5 - 8 Tubble Gum by Lutti - Tutti 5.0 bubbles
Tubble Gum Tutti comes in a tub, like a small toothpaste. We found this gum in Ireland while on vacation. The whole tub is 35g. It is a little strange at first and really soft but it comes around. On the plus side, we got some pretty huge bubbles! Serving size is unknown.
Taste 3.5 · Duration 2 · Texture 1 · Bubbles 5 - 9 Marukawa Fusen - Grape 4.0 bubbles
Fun flavorful gum from Japan. Very high scores on taste. Nice bubble size too!
Taste 4.7 · Duration 3.3 · Texture 5 · Bubbles 4 - 10 Marukawa Fusen - Strawberry 4.0 bubbles
Marukawa has been making these little marble gum balls in Nagoya since 1959, and they're a beloved Japanese "dagashi:" penny candy with a thin pink sugar coating and, in some boxes, a hidden "win a free one" ticket. The strawberry flavor comes on strong at first, then settles down. Like the others from this company, it just tastes great. The pieces are small, so bubbles aren't great, but the flavor is excellent.
