Reminds me of when I was a kid going to the shop with my then best friend, we used to spend loads of our pocket money on these.
peary peary yum yum chew it like its bubble gum…. oh yeah it is
I can almost taste these! Talk about a walk down memory lane!
Reminds me of when i used to be allowed to ride to the shop on my bike with my friends and my 50p pocket money. I thought it was amazing that these sweets were only 1p and i could buy 50 of them for my money. Miss those times.
I remember when I was wee and I’d finally received some pocket money for all the hard work I’d done for my parents. I’d race down to the local sweet shop and buy a selection of these along with some of my other classic favourites. Those were the good ol’ days!!
only 1p from our local corner shop back in the days- would cost 5p or maybe 10p these days, lol
Oh my gosh i’m feeling very nostalgic! reminds me of childhood when life was so simple!
Blowing bubbles used to be so cool, would love to do so again.
the taste takes me back to a time when simple safe secure, an unmoulded love so pure.
what a fab prize !!! i used to love going to our local shop where they had a half penny tray of sweets it was brill 🙂 i was telling my kids u could get sweets for half a penny each and they just laughed at me !!!! think they thought i was going daft
Great prize. I would share them with my work mates.
I used to go down to our corner shop to buy these! My Mum always said that they were the best ones to buy if you wanted to learn how to blow bubbles, she was right! Plus they’re yummy! 🙂
I remember Anglo Bubbly – we used to go across to the general stores across the road from my Nan to buy this – at 1p a shot!
Would love to have some of these to show my kids what the sweets were like in my day!
Reminds me of when school finished being dead excited to go to the local shop and buy al sorts of goodies!
I remember when i was young, long ago
feeling carefree, going with the flow.
When i wanted to chew on some great bubblegum
Anglo was always my choice it was YUM!.
Now i am older so maybe i’ll share
the delicious fruity flavour of pear. 🙂
I haven’t had bubble gum for years! I remember putting 3 or 4 bubble gums in my mouth, chewing them soft, then seeing how big a bubble I could blow. And it always seemed to “pop” on my face!
used to buy these on my walk to school and share them with my friends before registration!forgot all about them…!what a great prize!
Reminds me of my late grandmother, who used to give me and my brother 20p each to get some sweets. We saw it as such a great treat, at no other time would we be allowed to stuff a whole handful of these in our mouths in one sitting lol!
I didn’t know these are pear flavoured. I loved them as a kid and I am now trying to remember the taste, if you asked me what flavour I thought they were I would have said bubble gum flavour but I guess that isn’t an actual flavour.
I LOVE THESE! Can’t find them to buy in any corner shops now
blowing the biggest bubble competition in the playground – then sticking it behind your ear until the next playtime!
oooh yep, used to love it 🙂
we used to have contests to see who could blow the biggest ones, themn splat them lol 🙂
Always reminds me of school holidays during the hot summer. The ice cream van use to pop down our cul-de-sac.
Me and my friends use to buy those ‘Screwball’ ice-creams and he use to sell Anglo Bubbly bubblegums for a penny each!….but he always gave us extra! 😀
Also, I knew they had a distinct flavour, but never knew they were PEAR flavour! Until just now!
i remember these bubblies being on the penny tray at the shop. they made great big bubbles when blown
omg Anglo Bubbly, is that not the one that had the tattoo transfer between the wrapper and the pink bubbly?? such a unique taste thinking about it takes me right back to getting 5p to go to the ice cream van 🙂
Bubblegum rocks!
Ooh, I remember these. They are a must have. Yum!
I LOVE this bubbly! It reminds me of running inside to ask for 20p, so that my brother and I could buy 5 each! They would get so big we could hardly breathe around it and we’d have competitions to blow the best bubbles. Kept us entertained for hours!
Reminds me of a white paper bag full of amazing favourite sweets!
my first gum
Wow I loved these when I was younger! They were 2p each and I used to buy them at the local shop during school lunchtime. They are yum, would love to taste them again! 🙂
Blow the best bubbles with bubbly – I was a champ indeed – happy days
used to buy these when i was about 7 and were about 1p each, blow the best bubbles ever
WOWEEEEEEEEEE,
Wow, not seen that in years! Remember getting it caught up in my braces when I bought it with the penny sweets!
I JUST LOVE THESE WHAT MEMORIES THEY BRING BACK TO WHEN I WAS A KID AND JUST NEVER HAD TO WORRY ABOUT MY FILLINGS COMMING OUT
best bubble blowing gum. they sure dont make em like they used to
Blow the best bubbles with bubbly
i have never had this gum before! I feel deprived! 🙁
I was one of the select group of people banned from having bubble gum by their parents, not entirely sure why!?…No need to enter me for the draw tho, that would be super greedy as I won last weeks 🙂
It was always the biggest “whatever”, when you were being nagged for not cleaning your room or similar, to stand there chewing and blowing great big bubbles. I still think it would work – with that witch in HR, the utility company cold callers and, at times, my husband.
I am still reeling since you said these were supposed to be pear flavoured. Anyhow, they tasted great back then, so I don’t mind what flavour they are. There are some good things about being old – having tried lots of these retro yummy bubblies before! And I wouldn’t mind trying some again 😉
Reminds me of stuffing my face one day with anglo and my grandma hating bubblegum and chewing taking it off me, then telling me that swallowing it would clog up my insides and there wouldn’t be anything to save me. That worked a little, but just stopped me swallowing it, so she took it to the next leve and told me it was made from bunny rabbits cheeks which worked lol She’d already proved that icecream red flavouring is made using beetles (which it is) so I swallowed this new story easily lol
Wow, reminds me of the good old days.
bring back memories
Remember these from when i used to get 10p pocket money and blowing it all on these yummy treats!!
This reminds me of walking to school and having a competition between my mates to see who could blow the biggest bubble.
The scent of these can take me back to my childhood in seconds! Loved the stuff and loved trying to amaze people with the size of the bubbles i could blow!
My mouth is already salivating!
I remember this when I wa a kid. A penny gave a lot more chew time then!
My sister and i were not allowed bubble gum when we were kids, so my sister decided to pick it off the ground and eat it! From this moment on, our parents allowed us to buy bubble gum…good work sis
Aww i love this bubblegum, my favourite bubblegum ever, and unlike a lot of other bubblegum… you can actually blow bubbles with it hehe xx
i loved saturday`s when i was a kid i`d get my pocket money and run to the corner shop yes i`d buy Anglo Bubbly along with many other`s , great fond memories, me and my sister used to compete who could blow the biggest bubble x
The best 2 pence that money can buy, always remember as a kid that any pocket money i was given HAD to be spent.. so that last bit of copper i had floating in my pocket?? I used to buy these and have competitions with the local kids to see who could blow a huge bubble and have it pop on the end of your nose – we where nice kids! 🙂
I have never heard of these!
I used to love getting 10p mixes whe I was wee and there was always a bubbly in it!! I used to end up with it stuck in my hair and everything from trying to blow the biggest bubble!
nostalgia chew chew bubble!
Can’t find them to buy in any corner shops now
OMG yes I remember these when I was a kid. We used to buy them for 2p each when we were younger. I remember my dad gave my sister and I £10 when we were on holiday when I was 7 , and I spent the whole lot on these sweets. I came home with loads of them. My dad was not best pleased. Oh just to have that sweet taste once again. Yummyx
Newsagents before school, back when you could get as many as would fit in you pocket without having to sell the clothes on you back to pay for it. Glory days!
I remember these when they were a penny each, I used to buy loads, I loved the smell of them, and popping them on my tongue before chewing them, and you could blow massive bubbles with Bubbly!
I’m only 27 but these bring back such memories! Is it a sign I’m getting old that I have fond memories of ‘retro’ sweets?!
