When did bubble tape come out?

Bubble Tape is a brand of taffy-like chewing gum that was first introduced by the Bubblicious brand in the late 1960s. The exact year of its introduction is often cited as 1976, but it could have been available in some markets earlier. The product became popular for its unique way of being packaged in a long, flat strip that could be pulled off in small pieces, creating a "bubble" when blown as a gum. The packaging and the fun of stretching the gum to create a bubble contributed to its popularity among children and gum enthusiasts.

Bubble Tape was created by the Bubblicious brand, which is a division of the Ferrara Company, a confectionery company that has a long history in the candy industry. The Ferrara Company has been in operation since 1908, and over the years, it has produced a variety of candy products, with Bubble Tape being one of its most recognizable innovations.

Bubble Tape's popularity has endured over the decades, and it remains a favorite among gum consumers. It has also been featured in various promotions and collaborations, including with popular franchises like Pokémon.

Bubble Tape is a brand of bubble gum produced by Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, introduced in 1988.
