Ouch! (gum)
Ouch! (gum)[edit | edit source]
Ouch! is a type of bubble gum that was popular during the 1990s and early 2000s. It was produced by the Hubba Bubba brand, which is owned by the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company. The gum was known for its unique packaging and variety of flavors.
History[edit | edit source]
Ouch! gum was first introduced in 1989 by the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company. The gum was marketed as a fun and unique product for kids, with its bandage-like packaging and colorful flavors. The original flavors included grape, watermelon, and strawberry.
Packaging[edit | edit source]
One of the most distinctive features of Ouch! gum was its packaging. The gum was sold in a metal tin that resembled a bandage box. Inside the box, the gum pieces were individually wrapped in paper that looked like bandages. The packaging was a major selling point for the product, as it was different from other gums on the market at the time.
Flavors[edit | edit source]
Ouch! gum was available in a variety of flavors. The original flavors were grape, watermelon, and strawberry. Later, the company introduced new flavors like tropical fruit and berry. Each flavor was represented by a different color of bandage wrapper.
Discontinuation[edit | edit source]
Despite its initial popularity, Ouch! gum was eventually discontinued. The exact reasons for its discontinuation are not known, but it is speculated that declining sales and changes in consumer preferences may have played a role.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Even though Ouch! gum is no longer in production, it is still remembered fondly by many people who grew up in the 1990s and early 2000s. The unique packaging and fun flavors made it a memorable product for many kids of that era.
