Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox brand Bubble Yum is a brand of bubble gum marketed by The Hershey Company. It was first introduced in 1975 by Life Savers.[1]

History

In 1977, rumors began to spread that the gum's soft, chewable secret was the addition of spider eggs.[2] The Life Savers Company addressed the issue with an official full-page rebuttal printed in prominent U.S. newspapers (including The New York Times), to dispel the rumor and restore public confidence.[2] Sales of the gum soon surpassed sales of Life Savers candy, and it became the most popular bubble gum brand.[1] Nabisco bought Life Savers in 1981, and The Hershey Company acquired the Bubble Yum brand in 2000.[3]

Mascot

Bubble Yum's official mascot is Floyd D. Duck, an anthropomorphic punk-style duck character.[4]
