WHERE CAN I FIND CHUM GUM? IT IS LIKE THE BEST GUM EVER.BRINGS ME BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN LIFE WAS GOOD,AND NOTHING BOTHERED ME.THOSE WERE THE DAYS

I agree,Chum is the best bubble gum I have ever tasted. It takes me back to a time when life was simple. Where can I find Chum bubble gum or do they still make it?

Perhaps we should find out who the company was that made chum gum and take it from there. Does anyone know?

For years I thought I had perhaps only "imagined" Chum Gum ( a stick for you, and one for a chum!), absolutely NO ONE I asked knew what I was talking about or remembered it! It's a relief to know it really did exist! I believe it has been permanently discontinued

Oh My God!!! I am 45 and I chewed that stuff in the 70's in Chicago where I was born. We bought it in the penny candy section. Along with hot dog weiner gum! But Chum gum is the best tasting gum in the world. No one has ever heard of it except the 5 of us now. I have been typing chum gum in seach engines now and again hoping it would spark a memory or a location where I may purchase it. WoW! :)

I also have searched for Chum Gum. When I was a child we lived outside of Chicago IL and that's where we would buy the gum. It had a smell all it's own and a powdery coating. Loved it.

WHERE IS CHUM GUM !!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with yo all! Chum Gum was the best. Its been around for years. I'm 58 and can remember getting it when I was little. I think I actually came across some it just 3-4 years ago here in Houston. But couldn't say for sure how. Fleer made it. I don't think you can get it anymore. But if you really want some, someone is selling five sticks on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/CHUM-GUM-5-PIECES-VINTAGE-BUBBLE-GUM-FLEER-CHUM-GUM_W0QQitemZ300198065907QQcategoryZ35645QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWINQ3aPOST0Q3aRECOQ3aBIDQQcmdZViewItem

why dont we all ask fleer to remake this wonderful GUM....

Can't belive it. Other people remember "Chum Gum" and the "Happy Hollisters" books. Chum Gum was great. They don't make em like they used to.

I also grew up in chicago with CHUM GUM.It too brings me back to a simpler time. If anyone finds where to get this, please let us all know.

I just googled chum gum to see what I could find. I agree it was the best tasting gum ever. I have talked about it all my life and people look at me like I'm crazy glad to see there are others out there that loved it too!!!!! I got it in a gas station in a little town in Ohio in the 60's and early 70's. Wish they would bring it back.

I have been looking for Chum Gum for years and I haven't had any luck. In my opinion it was the best gum out there. I'm happy that there are others out there that remember!

This is GREAT!!! I am also a chum gum lover. I grew up in Los Angeles in the early 70's and I remember walking to the corner store with my friends and buying this awesome gum. It is such a relief to know that there are others out there that know about this gum, because when I bring it up to people they don't know what I am talking about, it is great to know you guys are out there and fans of chum gum. I wish they would bring this gum back because it was truly great.

i keep looking for chum gum too!sadly its no longer made.i also grew up in chicago in the 70's and bought it every time i went to the candy store.i remember "borrowing a whole dollar out of my moms purse and getting a small brown bag full of candy.chum gum was always my favorite.

THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO FELT THIS WAY ABOUT CHUM GUM.

In the 1950's/ 60' I used to buy Chum Gum in St. Louis - from a local confectionery (which is what we called small neighborhood stores). I also used to buy KitKats, BB Bats, 3-V Cola, licorice wound up like a small record, Turkish Taffy (with a stripe down the middle) and other glorious candy that is part of my St. Louis childhood memories.

NOT KitKats - Kits - those square wrapped taffys -in banana, chocolate, strawberry flavors - I think they came three to a package. Bargain!

I too remember Chum Gum and just like some of you when I mention it to people they look at me like I'm crazy. I am from the Fort Wayne, IN area and we used to go to a place called Bledsoe's Beach near Angola. That's where I bought most of my Chum Gum. Wish I could still get it!!

I grew up in Denver , Colorado and remember chum gum and ask ...people when the subject of gum comes up...NO ONE remembers it at all here . My sisters and I used to go to Johnnys market .. (kind of like a 7- 11)...and buy it 2 sticks for a penny ...I LOVE the taste of that gum ...as well as a gum that was Grape...Gum ...In a purple colored wrapper with yellow print on it ...I also remember Black jack ..Clove and Beemans ..Yummyyyyyy ! I wish they wouold make Chum gum again .. and bring back those Old memories ...

was chum gum green?

My recollection is that Chum Gum was manufactured by the Curtiss Candy Company, the same folks who made Baby Ruths and Butterfingers. When they got bought out long ago, Chum Gum went away... The big secret of Chum Gum's great flavor was that it was stick shaped bubble gum, and each stick was coated with powdered sugar. The flavor didn't last long, but it was unique!

I grew up in south Georgia and used to buy Chum Gum all the time. As someone said, the flavor didn't last long but the gum had so much elasticity and blew the best bubbles ever. I wish children today could have this wonderful "stuff".

Chum Gum!I've been searching forever.. I'm 38yrs.old and only found it in Woolworth stores in the Chicago area.I can still taste that juicy soft flavor in my BUDS.Hope a manufactor can bring our good old CHUM GUM back!!!!!!

I can remember going to the corner store that was across from my school.I would go there after school and buy this gum,those were best days of my life Tina,

Oh, if they would only bring Chum Gum back! Everyone I've ever mentioned it to has never heard of it. I grew up in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area and used to walk or ride my bike to the "Beer Depot" to get candy - and my favorite Chum Gum. Loved the flavor and the big bubbles! Wish they'd bring it back.

I grew up in FL, and I remember climbing up on the kitchen counter and standing on my tip toes to reach the shelf in the upper cabinet where my mother kept a box of Chum Gum! It is my all time favorite gum and I've been looking for it for years. No one I speak to about it seems to remember it. If anyone does bring it back, I hope they make it the way they used to and not w/ artificial sweetners... they way the did when they brought back 'Fizzies'.

Chum Gum was the best ever...I am 42 and from Chicago I also have been searching for years, just asked a retro candy store yesterday and said he can't locate either. Somebody bring it back...they have brought everything else back from beechies to violet why not chum gum?

I'm glad to see I still have my memory. I was beginning to think I dreamed it all up. I used to buy Chum Gum in a little town in north Georgia. NO ONE here has any idea about Chum Gum, I've talked about it for 20 years and everyone thinks I'm a liitle off. They just don't know how good it was. I remember getting my allowance and running down the street to the gas station and buying Chum Gum, then going home and hiding it under my bed so I would'nt have to share. It's great to hear all these stories. THANK YOU

just purchased 4 sticks from ebay!!Not planning to eat them just wanted to have those wonderful memories in my own hand. I'm so HAPPY just to see them in my curio cabinet! I wish they would bring back our good old CHUM-GUM

1980 was the last time I found Chum Gum. Woolworth's on Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta, GA. I was a college student making minimum wage at at summer job. I bought all they had in stock.

Not only did this have the most fabulous flavor, but it had such a wonderfully smooth texture - not all gritty and sugary like regular bubblegum. I miss it!!!!

I love this site. I found this particular page 'cause I was looking for references to gum that was made into little record albums. i think they were about 2x2 square. Cardboard like a real record. and the "record" was a piece of gum. The only one I remember was billy joel's Glass Houses lp. I had a collection of about 15 though. anyone else remember them?

I'm 55, grew up in San Bernardino, California, and I went looking for Chum Gum because it had the best TEXTURE! It was so unique to chew. Tasted great, too! My big sis and I would sneak down to the candy store after school and load up on penny candy. Chum Gum was my favorite. I don't even chew gum now. Nothing else compares! I really miss it!!!

Everyone said the same things I have thought for years about Chum Gum- I do miss it. Once in a while I will smell something that reminds me of it. I wish I could find it somewhere. My Co-Workers think I'm nuts. They have never heard of it.

where can i get this great gum...nothing compares. some one must have a stash somewhere!

I used to visit my grandparents house in Golden, IL in the early 60's. From the moment I arrived all I could think about was when I would be allowed to walk down to the corner gas station. They had a penny candy counter there and I ALWAYS bought Chum-Gum. Although the memories of those visits have faded with time, I will never forget my favorite, Chum-Gum!

I loved Chum Gum!! I can't believe I found all of you. I used to lick the white off and then put the gum in my mouth. Caroline above said she has never met anyone who remembers it. I am in the same boat. I grew up in SW Michigan in the 60s. I wish they still made it.

I grew up in Memphis, TN. I guess I am showing my age(61 on 9/19/1947.) I remember going to Ferrell's Rexall on High Point Terrace area. Chum Gum was packaged 3 pieces for a penny. I was sitting at my desk and decided to Google Chum Gum. We also ate Bonamo Taffy. French Chew is very similar.

JMK, I just posted something about Chum Gum on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch website. Afterwards, I thought I'd do an online search of CG. I also used to buy Chum Gum in a St. Louis confectionary (I also mentioned confectionaries in the P-D post). This particular confectionary was in north St. Louis near the Walnut Park neighborhood, just west of Interstate-70. A group of us kids used to run across the interstate (Shhh! Don't tell my mom!) to the park and ballfields east of there. That is, when we weren't playing stepball, riding bikes or trading baseball cards. But, yes, Chum Gum was great. I'm sure if I even smelled a stick I'd have involuntary visions of a bygone world populated by finned automobiles with sweeping lines and the calls of a street vendor yelling "Hot Tamales" -- as he pushed his cart down our street on a summer's evening -- ringing in my ears.

is tina from buffalo

Chum Gum was the best gum. Whenever I mention it to all of my friends it just brings back to good ole days. I would put the chewed chum gum on my headboard for the next day, it did lose its flavor but I could wake up and blow bubbles till I would get together with the friends go to Melchens candy store and purchse more. Does anyone remember how good the candy lipsticks were, the ones they make now are nothing like the ones we could get...Oh to be young and free again.....miss those days

I also remember Chum Gum. I've asked so many people if they ever heard of it and they think I'm nuts. I grew up in Chicago in the Lincoln Park area and bought it at a store called Nick's. It was 1961 and for .25 you could buy a 12oz bottle of pepsi, ice cold from the machine, a .10 bag of Jays Potato chips and 3 grape gum balls. Of course Chum gum was my favorite. It never lost it's flavor and the smell was heavenly. If I could just go back. It was a time when a guy would come with a truck and sell fruits and vegetables and my Mother would run out like all the other ladies and stock up for the week. If I could just close my eyes and go back . . .

Yeah man, I used to go to North Ward School on 4th Street and we'd go to Tussey's Drug Store. For .12 cents, I could buy a comic book, a fountain cherry or vanilla coke and a pack (2 sticks ) of chum gum. If I was real lucky and the big kids were not at Tussey's, I could talk Pop Tussey into getting out a couple of soda bottle cases and he'd let me play the pinball machine. I wasn't tall enough to stand on the floor and play the machine. We could get into the old State Theater for 10 RC Cola bottle caps and watch the kiddie matinees, so all week long it was the "big hunt" at the gas stations to ask the employee's there to open the soda machines and let us have the bottle caps. Someone else said that thosewere the carefree days when we had no problems and life was easy. Why did we complicate things???

Wow! I thought I was the only one who remebered Chum gum, Razzles and Bubs Daddy gum in the yardstick packaging. I grew up in Buffalo New York, and my brother and I would always go to the corner store just for Chum gum. I've asked a co-worker who is from New York, did she remember chum gum and she looked at me like I lost my mind. So we googled it and there are people who remember the good old days of candy, gum, and pop and growing up without a care in the world. Where did those days go. Glad to know there are others who remember as well.

The refreshing chewing gum with the savory flavor of ground fish entrails. Oh cummon, like you werent thinkin it too.

Back in the 30s and 40s when I was a boy Chum gum was a terrible chew. The stick would break up in pieces with a couple of bites and took some time to combine into one piece. Flavors were raw imitations of pop (soda). A 5 stick pack was a penny. Clove, Black Jack and Juicy Fruit were expensive, penny a stick!

I'm 50 and from St. Louis. I too have wonderful memories of walking to the corner store for Chum Gum and Bub's Daddy in the yardstick pkg. And also does any one remember the sputnik gum - round blue gumball with sugar coating? Not as good as Chum Gum, but still good memories. Glad to see I'm not the only one that love it!

I love all of you, my wife thinks I'am nuts. But she never had the best gum in the whole world. I grew up in Turtle Creek, Pennslyvania. I got my chum gum at my friends grandmothers store, that had every peen candy that was ever made. Now that I'am 52 I long for the simple days of my chid hood hanging out with my friends and chewing th e best made gum ever Chum Gum. thanks to all of you. Somebody out there PLEASE MAKE CHUM GUM AGAIN...

Thanks for the memories. I am 53 and remember chum gum when I was in grade school. I would stop at the corner drug store and load up. It was pink and I loved that two came in the wrapper. It was so yummy. No one I know remembers it. I am glad everyone at this site remember it. I wish it would come back. There is a site to buy old time candy, but they didn't have it. It's oldtimecandy.com. They have a lot of the older candy that's hard to find. Miss my Chum Gum, though.

Yep I also grew up on chum gum and until recently haven't found anything close, but check out Ford Gum company and the gum called bologna and hotdog gum is as close as I've found.I got it in Santa Fe New Mexico at Walgreens

You can get it on e-Bay!!!!!!!!!!

I was just talking about this gum yesterday! It was the best gum ever. If I could find it I would purchase all they had in stock and share with everyone!

Im 55 and I still look for Chum gum everywhere. I have so many sweet memories of the penny candy counter where we could piss off the old lady that woryed there by tapping our quarters on the glass counter top. Wish we could still get Chum Gum its the best. And you all are right if you ask some one about it they think you are crazy.

Chum Gum is what you had to have in the summer of 1969 just as school let out. Bar none the greatest tasting gum ever. Anyone remember Violets?

Most assuredly...the best tasting gum ever...reminded me of Yank Bubble Gum.

Yesterday after my daughter's birthday dinner at Cracker Barrel, I happened upon that oh-so-delicious smell of Chum Gum in their store. That long-forgotten name popped right out of my cobwebbed memories. My mouth's still watering, but that item's for external use only, a small tin of Heath & Henry cuticle cream, which was on sale as discontinued. I grew up in Wilmington NC & remember buying CG @ 3 sticks for a penny. Liked Beemans Teaberry gum, too. Thanks for sharing your memories!

Wow....what a treat to find so many other Chum Gum fans. I am 63 (10/21/45) and have never forgotten my all time favorite chewing gum. I bought a pack of 5 sticks once a week and chewed one on each school day. Like another fan, I always licked the paper first and then chewed the gum. I truly wish a gum/candy maker would reproduce this wonderful, delightful gum - I would love to introduce my grandchildren to it. I googled chum gum hoping to find it on the market again, but instead I found a fan club that I can feel very comfortable being a member in! Oh, I bought my Chum Gum in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

OK.... The gum is made by Fleer and if you want the EXACT taste you remember, they are packing it inside of the Movie cards from the Spirit movie being released December 19th 2008.

Chum gum was the best!!! the flavor was unique. I really miss this nostalgic gum. I am 50 and remkember it oh so well, we had a penny candy store right on the corner of my street in South Buffalo

A couple of weeks ago, a vague memory of the 2-stick for-the-penny gum with the powdery stuff on it entered my 52 yr old brain. But I couldn't for the life of me remember its name. And it kept coming back into my head so I finally asked my best high school friend about it today and he came up with it immediately. The real reason I'm writing is to respond to Sharlene from 4/24 who seemed to be struggling with the name of her favorite grape gum. I knew them as "sour grapes" in clear individual packaging with maybe a yellow print on it. That was my favorite gum, with Chum Gum and Bazooka Joe a close second followed by mini-chiclets

I loved Chum Gum, we used to get recess and we were permitted to go to the little store called Brickers Penny Candy Store....Ah!!! the good ole days.... Fairchance, Pa

Twas my favorite as well. As a child in the mid fifties I discovered it at Glazners Market in Carrollton Texas (a Dallas suburb). At that time the package was royal blue. The inner wrappers white and the gum was pink. Two for a penny. Does anyone remember when Planters Peanuts (the 5 cent package) offered the enticement "You could find a nickle , dime or quarter in this package"? The gambler in me made me go for it but it never paid off. Then my dad told me a man probably empties his pocket change into a huge vat of peanuts. I quit buying them.

After reading all these stories on Chum Gum, I want some now!!! I am 53 and I am a bubble gum fanatic! pink and full of that distinguishing flavor and powder sugar. It would probably be 2 for a quarter these days. I lived in Stanton, Calif. We use to go to the corner store with a quarter and by a bag full of different candies to watch Astro Boy and Zolar. Yes, I remember those candy lipsticks, they were creamy, not like today's. We still have the red licorice...red vines. You bite off each end and use if as a straw. We have red vines, why not Chum Gum... Let's ask Mark Summers Host of Unwrapped on the Food network!!!!

Can still taste it in my mind's mouth! This was in the 60's in Augusta,GA and only at Carpenter's 50-50 Store. Passed it every day walking home from Forest Hills elementary school. The only place I ever found Chum Gum. Two sticks for a penny. Remember a blue wrapper And the powdery sugar covering each stick. Lick. Chew. And Blow. Have never chewed a better bubble gum since.

Sixty years old and still wishing that I had a piece of chum gum.

I remember buying Chum Gum in the middle 50's. You got 3 sticks for a penny. All other stick gum was 5 sticks for a nickel.

Chum Gum was the best gum ever! I grew up in the Boston area and we would buy this at the penny-candy store. It had a unique and delicious taste. It was silky smooth and it was the best gum for blowing huge bubbles. We used to have bubble-blowing contests and Chum Gum was the gum of choice for this. Too bad they don't make this anymore. This was good stuff.

Geez Louise, how I LOVED Chum Gum. I used to buy it in Burbank, Illinois, where I grew up. In my search for Bonomo Turkish Taffy, I was remembering Chum Gum and decided to Google it to try and find it. Per "oldtimecandy.com, the company that made Chum Gum (they don't confirm who the manufacturer was) discontinued it. That being said, you can find a lot of other great old candies and gum there, but look out for the price.

I am 61 years old and grew up in Britton, Oklahoma, a tiny bedroom community 20 min N of Oklahoma City....Chum Gum was a favorite for me - I can till conjure the aroma and flavor of this wonderful gum! Here it came 3 pieces for a penny and whatever amount of money I had went for Chum Gum and Strawbery Kits...I sooo wish we coul get someone to research and start making this gum once more. Glad to hear there are others of you who remember with me.

Loved the gum also. Used to buy mine at the local 7 Eleven in the Philadelphia area.

I am 50 years old and grew up in Dothan, Alabama (extreme southeast. Nothing compares to the flavor of Chum Gum! Don't remember the price.

Wow! I thought people forgot the greatest gum ever! I chewed Chum Gum in the mid 60's. It was/is the best flavored gum to date. I was surfing the web hoping to find the gum somewhere. How sad the kids (and adults) will never know. I mentioned Chum Gum, and people thought I was crazy. Said they'd never heard of it. Good bye Chum Gum.

I'm 43 YeArS OlD...i hAvEn'T SeEn cHuM GuM/oR TaStEd iT SiNcE I WaS lIkE,sIx yEaR's oLd!!!WhErE CaN I FiNd iT?(StEvEn iN BoStOn)

I AGREE WITH EVERY ONE I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT CHUM FOR MONTHS AND DECIDED TO CHECK OUT ALL OF THE GUMS SITE BUT HAVENT ANY LUCK. I WAS TELLING MY DAUGHTER ABOUT THIS GOOD OLD GUM. I LIVE IN WASHINGTON DC BROUGHT A PACK FROM A MARKET FEW YEARS AGO. WILL CHCECK IT OUT AGAIN.

Someone's got to get this gum produced again. I've searched for it everytime I see an All Candy store. No Luck

UMMM I LOVED CHUM GUM I WISH THEY WOULD BRING IT BACK, HEY DO ANY OF YOU REMEMBER "BIG MOUTH" THEY USED TO COME IN A SQUARE FLAVORS WERE GRAPE APPLE AND REGULAR?...IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE TO BUY ANY OF THESE LET ME KNOW:)

DO YOU KNOW WHEN FLEER STARTED MAKING CHUM GUM IT WAS 1ST MADE BUY CURTIS CANDY CHICAGO A

Ahhhhh, Chum Gum, I loved that stuff and can still taste it in my mind. I am 63 and remember summer days walking a few blocks to the little mom and pop grocery store in my neighborhood in Tulsa with my friend or sisters to buy my Chum Gum. I have thought about that stuff off and on but, like most of you said, nobody else remembered it and I had almost convinced myself I had made it up. So glad to find so many others who hold it dear like I do. Wonder if it would still taste as good as it did then...

I grew up in East Point Georgia All of us teens sat in the balcony of the East Point christian church We started passing the chum gum around. We got it at a store near the church it was called the e z buy store. best gum ever

I agree with so many of the comments that have been made by others...you ask people if they remember or have ever heard of this gum and they look at you like you are crazy. But I too remember this as the best gum ever...2 pieces wrapped together in the white, blue & red wrapper for only 1 penny. And yes, just like someone before me said, right next to the hot dog gum. I would buy it if I could find it. I grew up in Danville, California...small town, still relatively small, and the local 5 and dime store had it. I would cut coupons and take them to the local independent grocery store who would pay you face value that was printed on them, up to a dollar per day, then I'd go to the 5 & dime and buy a dollar worth of candy. One kid at school asked me if I was rich since I always had a bag of candy. Remember the cinnamon toothpicks? And the square cinnamon suckers? Simple times!

i would really like for someone to bring back my favorite childhood gum. chum gum. i use to walk to my corner store and buy the individual sticks for a penny a piece. it was the best texture and best tasting gum.

Chum Gum was the best gum in the world. Use to buy it at Bailey's Confectionery on Bunker Hill Road in Ashtabula, Ohio.

Someone has to bring back Chum Gum!! It absolutely was the best bubble gum in the world. I remember going on our summer vacation every year to a cabin in Crosby, MN and the office had a little candy section and we would load up on Chum Gum. If someone does bring it back, please don't wreck it like they have wrecked Bazooka, YUCK

I've been looking for it for years!! I bought it in St. Albans. West Virginia at alot of different places! Somebody needs to produce this again. Chum Gum ROCKS!!!!

i was born in chicago raised in sw michigan and Ive been looking for chum gum for a long time.. It was simply the best gum ever some one should bring this gum back

My Dads Nick Name Is Chum Because He Used To Chew That Gum When He Was Little...

I grew up in Hyattsville md in the 60's and Chum gum was the BEST !! Love the flavor,the color, its softness. We bought it at Shirley's in hyattsville,md. Bring it back !!!

I have a co-worker that loved this "Chum GUm"and she is always so thought ful to others. Well she spoke about this gum and how much she loved it so I just had to go on E-Bay and get a stick for her. Tears filled her eyes as she was just beside herself when we gave it to her. So it's pricy but it's out there. We paid $10.00 for a piece but it was well worth it to see her reactions!!!

Surely there's someone out there who could resurrect Chum Gum manufacture and distribution...why not? It is the best bubble gum ever made. Hmmm. Why did they stop manufacture? How rude!

Chewed Chum Gum during the 60's. I'm 59 now and smoke cigars. But I'd rather chew Chum Gum. I bought it at many places in Harford County, Maryland.

I used to buy Chum Gum at Mill Creek Country Store in Mill Creek, Georgia, near Dalton- in the mid 70s. I agree- Best Gum Ever! Make it again, Fleer!

I was a child of the 60s & 70s. i can still taste that gum, which had a flavor all it's own, sweet, peppery that still reaches me through the ages... With THIS many people on a thread reminiscing about a childhood confection, think how many others are out there? Fleer?...Are you listening ?

MY HUSBAND AND I USE TO BUY CHUM GUM IN THE SIXTIES IN PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA THIS WAS THE BEST GUM I'VE EVER TASTED. WE ARE NOW RETIRED AND I CROSSED THE WHOLE U.S. IN TRAVEL I TRIED TO FIND THIS GUM IT IS SO SAD THE COMPANY STOPPED MAKING IT. I CAN STILL TASTE IT!

I'm so happy it wasn't all a dream. They were real memories. Awesome memories of summertime in the 60's and 70's riding my bike to Aloha Drug Store for Chum Gum! :)

I also have looked for Chum gum for years. I always look at Cracker Barrel hoping it found its way back. It was the very best bubble gum, and it smelled so good in my purse. People used to say Who has Chum Gum? I can smell it!

OH BOY I REMEMBER THIS GUM.IT WAS THE BEST EVER. CHUM GUM HAD A TASTE ALL IT'S OWN.I GREW UP ON IT. I WISH THEY WOULD BRING IT BACK.I HAVE NEVER TASTED ANOTHER GUM THAT EVEN COMES CLOSE TO THAT GREAT TASTE.

WE'D GO TO CHELMERS IN UTICA,MN A LITTLE STORE JUST TO BUY CHUM GUM!! I'D BUY ALL HE HAD. BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER,MY GRANDCHILDREN WOULD LOVE IT!!!BRING IT BACK FOR THEM TO TRY!!!!:)

We used to get it in the 60's at an old country looking store in NE Washington D.C. 2 sticks for a penny. Loved it, but you have to admit the taste only lasted about a minute if you were lucky, but it was so good!!

Finally! I have wracked my brain so many times trying to come up with this name. I can almost conjure up the taste if I try really hard. I wish it would make a comeback.

Thank you for letting my co-workers know I didn't make this up. I have been craving Chum Gum for 50 years. I just went to my 45 year class reunion in Mobile, AL and they had a center piece on each table with retro candy like the cigaretts, wax coke bottles, windmill cookies but no Chum Gum. Even my old class mates didn't remember it.

I grew up in the 50's and use to sit on the river bank and blow away, while watching the St. Lawrence Seaway being built. Our old homestead is under H2/0 so sad. But progress is progress. Please Bring MY CHUM GUM back.

The one thing that amazes me as i read all the comments, and they are great memories, is how widespread the distribution of Chum Gum was back then. At 55 i still remember going to Connie's by Wilson Junior High School in Philly to get my supply of this delicious gum and other great candies. As so many people mentioned, bring back the good old days. The funny thing about that is that one day, if we are still here, we will talk about these days as the "good old days". My Chum Gum days go back to the early 60's in Junior High. Somebody mentioned going to the gas station to get the guy to open the machine and give them the bottle caps (back when they had cork) to play one of several games different companies had to win prizes. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! THE GOOD OLD DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was fun reading everybody's memories about Chum Gum and simpler, better times.

I was just telling someone that as a child in the earley 60's I would walk to a store in Garret Park, Maryland (2 miles away)to buy chum gum. This group of people said that they never heard of it so I told them to goggle it and maybe it would show up. I also googled it and I found all of these postings.

I grew up in Greeley Colo. I had chum gum all the time. We were just talking at break and out of 6 of us only 2 remember chum gum.

I am 51 and have been craving this gum, chum gum the best ever made, 2 sticks for a penny and nothing else compares. I would today pay a dollar or two just to taste it again. So many memories..Kids today have awesome technology but they didn't have chum gum, or even klick clacks... please Kleer bring this gum back to us !

CHUM GUM RULES

i was 3 yrs old and i remember stealing candy from the 7-11 and some of it was chum gum..... the clerk call the police, not becuase i was stealing but becuase i was at the store alone. the police found me at the local creek eating the chum gum. they took me home in the police car and my mom was pissed!!!!!!

I am so glad I found this website. I have been telling my kids about Chum Gum and how I wish I could find it for them to experience. I keep looking but have had no luck. Fleer should bring it back. It was a great gum!!

I'm 56 and Chum Gum was my favorite down here in Louisiana. Didn't it start out with 3 or 4 sticks to a pack, then it was reduced to 2? Anyway, I have also been looking for it for years with no luck...Chum gum was the best!

I remember going by Brookside, a Mom & Pop store, daily gong and coming from school. They had the most fantastic penny candy counter, and I would buy Chum Gum, three sticks to the pack, later reduced to two stick per pack. But it was wonderful bubblegum, and so much for the penny! This was in the late 50's. I would give anything to have a "chew" once again!

I'm 51 in Cincinnati and I can't believe so many people remember Chum Gum. Every time I ask somebody if they remember Chum Gum they look at me like I'm crazy.

Glad to know I am not the only fan. Have told my children how good it was and was hoping to find out where to get some.BEST gum ever.

I was just thinking about Chum Gum. I was talking with a co-worker who, of course, had never heard of it. People think I am making up the name. I grew up in MA and there was a corner variety right by my elementary school that used to sell Chum Gum. I am know 47 and haven't seen Chum Gum in at least 30 years. Fleer needs to start making it again

I did a yahoo search on chum gum thats how iI found this page. I am 47 also im from RI and I would love to see Chum Gum back on the shelves. I truly miss it!!!

I would encourage everyone to email the company to try and bring this gum back. I've looked for it for years! I loved the stuff!!

Since you haven't heard from anyone from Iowa yet, I just had to write. I also grew up in the 60's. My childhood friend and I have been reminiscing about Chum Gum for 40 years now--truly the BEST gum EVER! It's so comforting to know there are others who feel the same way. Do you think we could start a fan club????

i grew up in grand forks,n.d. in the 60's,, and it is the best damn gum ever!!someone bring it back.wouldn't it be nice to reminisce the good old days??

losers

I did not know what the two piece penny gum was called. I also could not find anyone who seem to remember it. I still remember the red two stick gum. Its great taste is why I've never forgotten it.

I grew up in Dothan, Al. and I loved the flavor of Chum Gum. I'm amazed at how many people actually know about it. I used to buy it at Allen's Grocery. They had all kinds of penny candy, and Chum Gum was my favorite. Please, please, please bring back that awsome flavor!

I remember chum gum it was so soft and pink and had a delicious taste unlike no other, i would ride my bike to the little store at the LAKE OF THE WOODS, BREMEN,INDIANA... it was so worth the spanking I would get if I got caught by my Mother.Those were the good ol'e days...

I'm 53, I remember walking to the corner store at the age of 5 all by myself to buy the best gum ever!!!!!!! I did find a source at the Erie County Fair in Hamburg NY. A selling Black jack and Beemans said he has a source that sellsChum Gum by the case. I have been serching forever. I will post the link here when he sends it.

Chum Gum Alum. Early and mid-sixties in Fargo, N.D. Hot summer days buying baseball cards but throwing away their gum because it wasn't as good as Chum Gum. Sunflower seeds, banana popsickles and Chum Gum. Gourmet childhood food.

Is Chum Gum even made any longer? The BBE, Best Bubble Ever....

look on ebay just type Chum Gum and you will see someone is selling 1 stick for $7 plus $2.5 for S/H. I too like Chum Gum but not that much.

I'm 65. When I was 7or8 chum gum was 3 sticks for a penny. My brother and I would return bottles for Grandma to the store. We each got a nickle to spend from the return money. Most of the time it was all chum gum for me. It is the best ever!!

Oh my goodness! I love Chum Gum!! For the longest time, I couldn't remember what it was called and then by chance I was looking for some unique halloween candy and found the name!! It brings back so many great memories. I wish they still made it--I would certainly buy it all the time. I also loved the little hotdog gum--that was very tasty too. :-)

I grew up in Alabama, I'm 49, Chum Gum is the best gum ever made. I also thought no one else knew about it, I hope it comes back. By the way Mack, if we're all losers what are you doing wasting your time reading our comments?

I love you, my fellow chums!!!! I grew up by Maple Lake outside of Bridgeport, West Virginia in the 60's. I loved Chum Gum :-). It is so funny to hear other people having the same experience or feeling about when they ask other people if they remembered it. My siblings don't even remember it! Still, I often find myself describing the fragrant pink gum in the beautiful blue wrapper, 2 sticks, one for you and one for a chum, hoping someone could remember. No one did, until I found you here. You made my day :-)

WOW!!! I am not the only one who remembers Chum Gum. It was the best bubble gum ever made. Some one needs to make it again. Please?

people also thought i was crazy whenever i would ask if anyone remembered this wonderful product. it was the bubblegum of choice in my neighborhood (the harbor section of conneaut, ohio) in the 60's although i have to confess, i seldom if ever shared the second piece with any of my friends.

Brothers and I used to go to the store for our grandfather to buy him a pack of Camels and some Browns Mule chewing tobacco. We got to keep the change and bought--Chum Gum. Adams has brought back Clove, Beemans and Black Jack. CVS is carrying it. Everybody write to Fleer and get them to bring back Chum Gum.

I grew up in Minnesota in the 70's and remember Chum Gum so well. Loved the smell, loved the taste. So glad I am not the only one whose friends look at me like I'm crazy when I mention it! Love Chum GUM!

Wow! I'm sooo happy to see that others remember Chum Gum, There was a small corner store in North Buffalo called "Heevey's" and they carried the best penny candy around!! What I wouldn't give for one stick!
