Bubble Yum Welcomes Hershey’s Chocolate to the Family

I am not a fan of big changes, especially when I’m comfortable with the current state of people, things, and situations. I’m wary when my favorite restaurant hands me a new menu. It even bothered me when Bazooka gum and Cracker Jacks both changed their original packaging. Sure they still taste the same, but why change something that’s been working for ages? Although I am resistant to change, one change in an existing product line both interested and enlightened me, so that even I have to admit this is an improvement of something that was already great.

Let me introduce (Drum roll please) Hershey’s Chocolate Bubble Yum.
Yes, that’s right. A higher power combined the fun of gum-chewing and the sweetness of Hershey’s chocolate to produce a whole new take on chocolate candy. This may be old news to some of you, but I only recently discovered this new invention (probably since it’s so hard to find). I admit when I first heard about it, I was extremely skeptical. I wondered how such a combination would taste. I’m a huge fan of Bubble Yum, particularly watermelon and grape, and I enjoy all kinds of chocolates. As much as I love chocolate and fruity bubblegum individually, I couldn’t imagine how my tongue would receive it.

My verdict: it’s still distinctly Bubble Yum but chocolaty sweet. In fact, if you like Tootsie Rolls, this is the treat for you. Once you get over the initial shock of tasting chewy chocolate, it’s quite deliciously bubblicious. What will they think of next?

    It’s funny how comforting familiar packaging is, even if it’s not as ‘hip’ as maybe some new design is. We tend to trust most what’s tried and true and familiar.
