I have not found this gum on the internet.
Any idea who made it?
The key was to put the entire slab in your mouth and chew, and try to blow a bubble.
It was fun, and I love'd the stuff.
One time my Aunt Betty made me spit it out, and said it rediculas to sell kids a product like that. Well that just goes to shoe what she knows!
Same experience. I was partial to green apple. It didn't produce very good bubbles. I think because you have to chew it a while to get the right bubble blowing consistency and I could never keep the whole wad in my mouth long enough. It was too much and I would have to spit it out.
Side note on candy consumption. My favorite thing to do with a pack of starburst was to wad them all together into a big ball and eat it like an apple. Yum?
I loved Big Mouth Bubble Gum. My favorite was the grape flavor. Great times.
Oh my Gosh!! I so remember this gum. If I ate all my dinner at Kellar's BBQ in Joplin, Missouri, my dad would buy me a "slab" of Big Mouth bubble gum. Green Apple was the best!
There was a similar product called "Ton O Gum". It was a slab of bubble gum, about the same length & width as a pack of bubblegum cards, but about twice as thick. It was made by either O Pee Chee or Topps, and it came in Regular and Grape (and possibly Apple).

OK, so...do you remember the funny stickers that came with big mouth gum? they were spoofs of major brands at the time? i still have a collection of them! wonder if anyone collects that kind of stuff????
never mind! just realized they were wacky packs! not big mouth gum....i have 6 uncommon ones....maybe worth about $2 bucks!
I remember going to 7-11 as a kid in the early 70's and buying Big Mouth Bubblegum. I remember getting these stickers inside of each pack that had cartoon monsters with bulgy eyes driving souped up drag racing cars. Does anyone remember those? Peg - you have stickers from those packs? I'd give anything to get my hands on those. What a slice of childhood!
My big brother used to take me to the store ("Jayhawk Drug"- Topeka, KS)to get candy, and Big Mouth gum was one of our favorites! I was only 4 or 5 so had to take small bites, but he was in high school and would crack me up by getting the whole thing in his mouth! Some of my best memories!
I loved this gum and so did my friends…however, our parents always complained that when we chewed it, the grape and apple flavored/scented gum smelled bad. We of course begged to differ, we though it was wonderful! Like Shannon, I took my younger sister to the store for candy buying trips. Fond memories indeed!
I think whoever made this gum should bring it back the kids of today would enjoy it as much as we did. I too would like toknow where it went and why we cant buy it some where
You know how cool it would be to get Ton O Gum once again if you know anyone who sells this product by o pee chee or anything remotely similar let me know ty from Toronto Ca.
My brother and I are sitting here remembering Big Mouth Gum. Our all time favorite. I am the green Apple he is the Grape. Help us out...why did we think it was called Mouthful Gum. with the monsters driving hot rods stickers. I had them stuck all over my dresser as a kid...gone for good. Buy it if we try to bring a replica back. :)
I have been trying to find this Big Mouth Bubblegum for a long time. I love the gum and really love the cards that came in the pack. If anyone knows where I can get them please post.. thanx
Shannon- I have the entire set of those cars- saved them all my life- never could part with them (am 51 now!!). Am taking them to the antique road show today, guess I was a little late in looking here for posts- i never can find any- not even on Ebay!!
