\"CC_1970'sFor today’s post I’ve selected a spectacular and unusual vintage item to showcase — an unopened Halloween multi-package of Tropical Punch Bubble Yum bubblegum from the 1970’s!\u00a0 Make the jump to check it out.<\/p>\n

It’s always fun to share an unopened piece like that, as it can look like it just came out of a time machine, and that’s certainly the case today.<\/p>\n

Back in February of this year I presented a beautiful array of 1970’s Bubble Yum packs<\/a> as part of our week-long second anniversary celebration.\u00a0 Those packs came out of the incredible Dianne H. Barnes Bubblegum Collection and this unopened Halloween multi-pack also originates from the same.\u00a0 Here it is:<\/p>\n

\"Lifesavers

Lifesavers – Bubble Yum Tropical Punch – 10 oz 38-piece Halloween multi-bag package – late 1970’s<\/p><\/div>\n

If you look closely at the Halloween-themed part of the package, there is a perforation line between it and the rest of the pack.\u00a0 That design feature was used across a number of other Life Savers company seasonal packages at the time and it allowed retailers to convert seasonal product packages to non-seasonal by simply tearing off the extra graphic section.\u00a0\u00a0 Pretty clever!<\/p>\n

Unlike some later multi-packages, this one didn’t contain miniature or two-piece Bubble Yum packs but rather the same individually-wrapped pieces that the standard 5-piece packs contained.\u00a0 I’m especially keen on this one as Bubble Yum Tropical Punch was my favorite Bubble Yum flavor at the time.\u00a0 Here’s a look at what the standard pack looked like during that era:<\/p>\n

And that’s everything I’ve got to share today on this peek back in time via my Halloween Bubble Yum multi-pack from the 1970’s.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
