History:
The Bubbas range of children's confectionery holds a strong leadership position in many markets. Number one bubblegum in the world is Bubbaloo with a surprise liquid centre. A unique technology that could insert a liquid centre into bubblegum was developed for Bubbaloo, initially introduced in Latin America in 1984. Bubbaloo has since grown to be the number one bubble gum worldwide, based on its positioning as the "Full of Surprises" brand and is now sold in 25 countries.
In 1997 Bubba the Cat was created as an advertising icon.
In 2001 Bubbaxtreme, the first lollipop with a Bubbaloo in the centre, was launched in Mexico and has quickly become the leading lollipop in that market.
Did you know?
The first bubble gum ever invented was called Blibber-Blubber gum in 1906. However, it was never sold.
The record for the largest bubblegum bubble ever blown is 58.4cm (23in). The bubble was blown by Susan Montgomery Williams of Fresno, California, USA at the ABC-TV studios in New York City, in 1994.
