Big Bubbles, No Troubles

I used to love when a new Hubba Bubba commercial with the Gumfighter would come on while watching my Saturday morning cartoons. Grape Hubba Bubba was always my favorite and my grandmother would always buy me a pack as a kid. A few years before she passed she had revealed to me that the smell of the grape use to make her nauseous, that’s truly a grandmothers love.
