Comments left:	35 years ago, I was buying Funtime Gum at the penny candy store in the Zerns farmers Market in Gilbertsville PA. I loved this gum. While the bubbles were great, I really like the unique bubblegum flavor of Funtime gum. I've spent time searching for this gum too and came across a breakthrough several years ago. While at a local farmers market, I went in a day old bread store and on the shelf was two bags of penny sized gum the LOOKED like Funtime. Same shape, size and wrapper colors however the name was Bub-O gum. Instead of pictures of little kids blowing bubbles, there was another little cartoonish images which escapes me at the moment. So I took a deep inhale of the smell of the gum and THIS WAS FUNTIME!! Relabeled at Bub-O gum. I bought all that they had. I never saw it again for sale anywhere since that day but I did save much of it. I think I still have a bag it in my pantry and I'm going to look for it again. I can tell you that the labeling shows that it was manufactured in Brazil, which probably explains why it's not abundantly available here is the U.S. I have a friend in Brazil so I'll try to ask her if she can locate the company or the gum. But again, I'm positive that this gum still existed as of about 5 years ago and was relabeled as Bub-O Gum. Same packet size and shape in various colors. Same wonderful smell and bubbles!
