Fleer is a famous name from my childhood. Dubble-Bubble bubble gum baseball and football cards.

Original formula, circa 1906, was called Blibber-Blubber. Wiki says except for bubble blowing it was “vastly inferior” to regular chewing gum. Reformulated and colored pink and marketed as Dubble-Bubble it became a success.

I always thought bubble gum was too sweet, though I know someone who loves the stuff.

As a kid, I liked Squirt soft drink, and as an adult, I still don’t like sweet drinks. If I had a mixed drink it was a screwdriver or something else sour.
