More bunker blast bubblin' (Bubble Gum Weekend)

Because it's so damn uproarious that bubble gum was ever invented at all, you keep demanding that I regale you with more old bubble gum ads.

Bubble gum is a U.S. invention, but Mexico had its share of creative gum commercials too. This commersh from the '80s was for a brand of gum that is not known to have ever been distributed in the U.S. of A.:



Hilariously, this commersh seems to be rife with bathroom humor.

At the beginning, a yellow gumball seems to emerge when the cartoon leopard takes a dump. On several occasions during this ad when people bubble, a farting sound is heard. (Actually, it appears as if they didn't really bubble. The bubblings seem to just be computer generated over the live action scenes.)

Some of the geniuses from my old high school would have loved that ad, since it had gum and flatulence simultaneously.
