Not in a toilet, in a bubble gum! (Bubble Gum Weekend)

You're gonna laugh, because I'm about to mention bubble gum.

Many years ago, this bit of ridiculousness was all over American television...

That's a commersh for the chocolate mint flavor of Bubblicious dated 1986. And is it ever silly!

It shows a bunch of people at a soda counter doing a goofy dance and blowing bright green bubs. They show up to embarrass some nerdy teenager about his chocolate mint soda order.

I remember seeing this ad and bursting out laughing! Fifteen years after it aired, people were still talking about it on the Internet.

A couple years before it aired, parts of this commersh would have been seen as scenic and interesting. But by 1986, it was viewed as overblown and gaudy.

But people bubbled.
