Products[edit | edit source]

Concord Confections is best known for its Dubble Bubble brand of bubble gum. Dubble Bubble was the first-ever commercially successful bubble gum, and it remains a popular choice among consumers today. In addition to Dubble Bubble, Concord Confections also produces a range of other candy products, including Razzles, Cry Baby, and Nik-L-Nip.

Manufacturing Process[edit | edit source]

The manufacturing process at Concord Confections involves several stages. First, the raw ingredients for the candy are mixed together in large vats. The mixture is then heated and cooled to form a dough-like substance. This dough is then shaped into the desired form, such as a ball for bubble gum or a stick for lollipops. The candy is then packaged and shipped to retailers around the world.
