Description
i only saw this briefly in the earlier half of the 70's. Basically, it was a pack of gum, in stick form that came in 3 different ice cream flavors of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. the packs had a picture of a clown and ice cream cone on them and were in the appropriate color representing the flavor indicated. the flavour and scent of this gum was amazing and it lasted longer than expected.

Oh wow I loved that gum! It was from around 1971-74 that I remember it the most. I lived in Southern California and used to buy it all of the time. I found a couple of pictures of it (online) and will try to post them.
Ice Cream Gum was awesome!!! I can still remember exactly how it tastes and I don't even have to close my eyes to do it. Oh how I wish they'd make this again!!!!
Oh, I can taste and smell it right now! I would have been between around 4 years old in 1975 when a nice lady would bring vanilla ice cream gum to me at church. I would sit with her and chew on that gum - oh, what a great memory! I wish they would make it again, too!!!
I lived in Phoenix Arizona from 1973-1977 and Smitty's grocery store carried Ice Cream gum at the check-out line, I was 4 1/2-8 1/2 years old,I remember begging my mom to buy it for me. I absolutely loved it, I ask friends now and again, if they remember the gum; when we start reminencing about the 70's. Great memories, of simple times and less choices.
OH MY GOD!!! I loved this as a kid, and I have been trying to find at the very least a reference to it somewhere. This is the only thing I've ever seen aside from one person on a message board who knew it. I'll be e-mailing this link to her.
Thank you! I was beginning to think I'd lived in some alternate universe! 8~D
I grew up in the Phoenix area as well.I found these posts doing a google search for this gum. I was in the checkout line at Walmart and purchased a chocolate mint flavor of Trident, hoping it would remind me of the Ice Cream gum from my childhood. Anyone know the proper name of this gum and who made it?
OMG!!! How that takes me further down memory lane. I'm so excited that some people "out there" remember this gum. My experience is the Vanilla ice cream gum with the clown on the pack. It was a white packaging with baby blue accenting. I used to go to Genovese drug store with my mom and it was sitting by the check out lane. I LOVE the memory. I am sooo, sooo excited to have others take me down memory lane. This was in the 70's, no doubt! That was my favorite, favorite era in life. I can see the ice cream gum. Does anyone know who made it or find a picture?
I remember this gum so clearly. I was about 7 or 8. My favorite was the strawberry flavor. I would love to have my kids sample the gum. Man I miss those times...thanks for taking me back!!!!!
