Bazooka Just Released Totally Righteous, 1980s Throwback Packs of Its Iconic Bubble Gum

If your adolescence was defined by scrunchies, Cold War tensions and Winona Ryder in Heathers, boy do we have news for you.

Straight out of 1980, Bazooka Gum is back in its original packaging—but there’s more to it than that. With the return of the throwback look comes the return of the original Bazooka Joe comics, which haven’t been seen in like, decades.

Each pack (which contains six pieces of bubble gum) is inspired by the brand’s original design and comic strips. Along with the nostalgic red and blue graphics, each piece of gum is wrapped in classic Bazooka Joe comics from the Bazooka Joe vault. Oh, and it’s original flavor—naturally.

If gum isn’t your thing, no pressure. Each wrapper also features an original “Bazooka fortune” and a digital code to unlock online content, which they definitely didn’t have in 1980.

Matt Nathanson, Bazooka brand manager, said in a press release, “We are excited to offer our consumers a trip down memory lane with Bazooka Throwback. This new product is a great tribute to the bubble gum brand that has been cherished for generations by kids of all ages.”

The throwback gum is available for purchase wherever you get your gum, nationwide. We’ll be watching this Bazooka gum commercial from the ’80s to get in the mood.
