Bubble gum bunker blasts (Bubble Gum Weekend)

Gabillions of hard-working people have wondered how bubble gum would behave if exposed to unusual conditions. I know I have!

When I was a lad, a neighborhood playmate once suggested placing a piece of bubble gum over a hydrogen pump to inflate it with the lighter-than-air gas. But the fact that hydrogen is highly flammable put the kibosh on this plan. Similarly, I've always wondered whether one who swallows bubble gum can blow bubbles out their ass by farting.

That question remains unknown, but peep this:

That was a commersh for Hubba Bubba of rather recent vintage.

By the time of this ad, the famed Gum Fighter had long since been retired and had been replaced by animated chameleons.

The highlight of the ad is around :20. It appears that the chameleon who addresses the viewer blows a giant pink bubble out his butt!

But actually it's the other chameleon bubbling and floating away. This, however, opens up a whole new can of baste: Can Hubba Bubba be sued for false advertising because the product does not enable people to fly?

Surely there's some lawyer out there just itching to cash in on that!
