The story behind Big League Chew Bubblegum

Posted by Mimi Kwan on

Have you ever wondered about the story behind Big League Chew bubblegum? Well, get ready for a tale that's as fun and quirky as the gum itself! (And yes, it involves baseball and lots of bubble-blowing.)

Once Upon a Time in the Big Leagues...

Picture this: it's the 1970s, and two baseball players, Rob Nelson and Jim Bouton, are sitting in the dugout, chewing on their usual wad of gum. But suddenly, inspiration strikes! (Maybe it was the crack of the bat or the smell of freshly cut grass.) They decide to create a fun alternative to traditional chewing tobacco for kids, and thus, Big League Chew was born!

A Home Run of a Idea

Instead of the usual stick of gum, they came up with shredded bubblegum in a pouch, resembling chewing tobacco but without the harmful effects. (Talk about a grand slam idea!) The gum quickly became a hit with kids and adults alike, with its fun packaging and delicious flavors.

Flavors Galore at Candy Warehouse

Nowadays, you can find a variety of Big League Chew flavors at Candy Warehouse, from classic Original to wild Watermelon and everything in between. (Who knew bubblegum could be so versatile?) Whether you're a fan of grape or prefer sour apple, there's a flavor for everyone to enjoy!

So, the next time you're craving a chewy, bubble-blowing treat, reach for some Big League Chew and join in on the fun. (Just remember, no spitting in the dugout!)
