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!!!!!

Hey, is this subject for women only??? As kids, my brother lived for the chocolate, my sister for the strawberry, and I had to have my own flavor. I really did like the vanilla. This stuff is what childhood memories are made of. I'd pay ten bucks for a pack of it today.

For some reason This gum just popped into my head tonight. I forgot about it and tonight it just came up. I looked it up and found ur page. Thank you for posting a photo.Like everyone has said it was around in the 70s. I lived in Seaford New York at the time and loved this gum. You could smell the flavor without even unwrapping it. It was great. Wish they had it today.

I remember this stuff as well. I really miss being a kid in the 70's!

This gum rocked!! And it was a nice addition to the gum wrapper chains that I used to make--it kind of broke up the Juicy Fruit, Teaberry, etc wrappers.

I enjoyed all three favors. I grew up in Indiana and would buy it from the A&P.

I grew up in Southern Illinois and my dad owned an old time pharmacy that sold the gum. I was just telling someone about it and decided to look it up. No one I know remembers it so it was great to find your site.

Does anyone know who made the ice cream gum. Vanilla was my favorite treat when we would go to Carl's Drugs store in Amsterdam NY!

This gum was the best! I grew up in the Boston area and the corner store sold it. My favorite was the Vanilla, then Strawberry and my best friend liked the chocolate...think it was around 1972---I want the 70's back!

Unreal...someone told me that this gum NEVER existed. I knew I wasn't imagining it. WIsh I remember who it was so I could send them this link!!!!!!!!!!! Miss the old days and all the good things like ice cream gum :)

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE that GUM!!!!!!!!! Vanilla was my favorite!!!!!!!! Bought it at the corner drug store when i was a kid!!!!!!! Those were the days!!!!!! Love to go back in time!!!!!!!! By any chance does ANYBODY remember BLOOPERS candy? They were round and tasted like sweetarts!!! from the 70s? Everybody thinks i'm NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember going to the dime store and looking for the gum with the smiling clown. I believe the flavor lasted for about 12 seconds.

oldies im 13

You people are warped. This was the most disgusting thing I ever had as a kid. This made Necco wafers seem good.

I remember I always wanted this gum despite the clown. My father worked for Warner Lambert which owned Adams at the time, so he was ok buying it for his excited 4 year old whinning daughter. It' was 1971 and I first saw it in a grocery store in Camden Mo in the Ozarks. Vanilla was my first flavor but Strawberry became my favorite. I can still remember the smell and taste of this gum. It was a sad day when they stopped making this. I tried to explain this to several people and they thought I made it up. You can find pictures in a book called Kiddie Foods. This book was my only saving grace to others that I didn't make up this great gum. Bring it back and let us enjoy a simple time.

I am so happy I was able to search the net and find that this gum really did exist. Every person I have mentioned this gum to looked at me as if I was crazy. I remember a small convience store a few blocks from my house that sold all sorts of candy and this gum. Chocolate and vanilla were my 2 favorites :) I wish they would make this gum again!!!!

Nobody I know, (even my mom who used to buy it for me) remembers it. I wonder which company made it. It was wonderful! Even the chocolate flavored gum was great! I remember the scent, and taste of this gum even today. I remember it had a clowns face on the package. I keep wanting to try it again. I also liked "the pop shoppe" stores (if anyone remembers that place). I don't really recall ice cream gum surviving into the 80s. I WANT IT BACK! Whick company made it?!

The chocolate....mmmmm. I wore my stride rite clow sneakers with the removable fuzzy clown nose on the laces while chewing this gum.
