V you are so cute.

We had Bazooka Joe bubblegum here, but the kids I knew only bought it because of the joke/ comic strip inside the wrapper. Which we generally didn't get. Not sure if it was aimed at older minds than ours or because it was in American. Anyone I know whose parents let them buy their own sweets and/ or chew bubblegum bought Hubbly Bubbly. Much softer.

The refs to Bazooka do make me laugh though.
Bazuka (same pronunciation) over here is a verruca/ wart treatment.
Whenever I hear it/ read it I just think of the adverstising strapline, "Bazuka that verruca, Bazuka that wart"
