Bubble Tape is a type of
Hubba Bubba bubble gum produced by
Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, and introduced in 1988. It experienced its greatest popularity in the early 1990s, due to its unique packaging and direct
marketing to preteen children ("it's six feet of bubble gum - for you, not them"—"them" referring to parents or just adults in general).
At the peak of its popularity, over 1 million containers for Bubble Tape were being manufactured a week.
Bubble Tape comes in a small, round,
plastic container similar in size to a
hockey puck. This contains six feet (1.8 m) of gum wrapped in a spiral. The container functions much like a
tape dispenser, although the top half can be removed or broken off.
