Top 10 legendary chewing gum of the 90s
In the early 90s, foreign goods began to appear on the shelves. If the older generation dreamed of a brand new VCR or jeans, then the ultimate dream of almost every schoolchild was gum. Many matured uncles and aunts still remember both the taste and the aroma of those very legendary chewing gum, including:
10Tom and Jerry
In the early 90s, "Tom and Jerry" was one of the most popular cartoons, so it is not surprising that many manufacturers used images of their favorite characters to draw attention to their products. Tom and Jerry chewing gum, despite the poor quality of the inserts and unreadable Arabic lettering, has long remained one of the most popular products.
9Center Shock
Unrealistically sour gum. Probably, everyone who first tried this thermonuclear mixture had a desire to spit it out and never approach it again. However, over time, the sourness disappeared and sweetness appeared. Or did the body's defenses just turn on? There were even competitions among the guys, who could chew how many gum without frowning.
8Dinosaur planet
Another popular gum is from Spain. In many families with children, at least a few stickers from these gum could be found on the refrigerator. With proper luck, one could stumble upon a rare sticker, for which one of 12 dinosaur figures was given.
7Final
On the inserts of this popular gum, you could find images of the most popular football players or even teams participating in the world championships. For some reason, the Costa Rica team was depicted on almost every second chewing gum, but it was almost impossible to find an image of any Belgian player, so such inserts were worth their weight in gold.
6Bombibom
Initially, gum was produced with only one flavor - melon. This taste is still remembered by many schoolchildren of that time. Inside, various brands of cars were depicted, however, the quality of the liners was not the best: they quickly lost color and torn.
5Donald
One of the very first gum that appeared on the shelves of domestic stores. Despite the fact that the company stopped production of this series in the late 80s, it continued to be sold in the USSR until 1993. Inside, as the name implies, one could find sketches from the life of Disney characters.
4Turbo
In the 90s, one could find three different series of this gum: with modern, sports or vintage vehicles. The most valuable, both before and now, are the inserts of the first release. Using these inserts, schoolchildren not only studied new models of cars or motorcycles, but also often used them as currency.
3Love is ...
The absolute champion in popularity among girls. It was from the inserts of this gum that they learned all the tricks of love: laconic sketches were memorized and quoted, and the inserts themselves turned into a collectible. To receive from any boy the "Love is" chewing gum was even equated to a declaration of love.
2Helen and the guys
The cult TV series of the 90s, of course, could not stay away from the attention of gum manufacturers. The products of the same name, which appeared on the shelves almost simultaneously with the start of the show on domestic television, immediately found their fans: the girls pasted over all the free surfaces in the house with images of their favorite characters.
1Stimorol
Chewing gum, thanks to a well-thought-out marketing move, managed to squeeze out all other brands in a short time and turn into the most recognizable and popular in the post-Soviet space. Even those who now cannot remember the taste of the very same gum will easily remember her advertisement about police officers and bandits.
Some companies have tried to revive popular brands such as Love is. However, the generation of the 90s still continues to remember with warmth exactly the gum from childhood.Even if they were not very high quality, nothing can compare with their taste.
