Retro Candy Flashback: Gold Rocks Gum

Categories: Candy, Classic and Retro Candy, Gum





Gold Rocks Gum

Wow – I had totally forgotten about this candy until I saw it in a Hallmark store yesterday. It’s a 2-oz. cloth sack of gold nugget shaped gum called Gold Rocks Nugget Bubble Gum. I don’t have a specific memory of this gum, but I know I had this when I was a kid. That sack looks soooooo familiar. Once the gum is gone, the sack comes in handy for storing marbles, little army men, or other special treasures.

Remember when a sack was enough to keep a kid busy – no batteries, LEDs, or noises required? I’m constantly amazed at the toys my daughter gets in her kid’s meals at fast food joints. I would have given my left arm (or $20) for some of those toys when I was a kid. Oops – back on topic….

So, anyone else remember Gold Rocks Gum from their childhood?

    If I recall, it’s the same flavor as JuicyFruit.

    My brother used to like to buy it, I would keep the little bags. I have no idea what I did with them.

    Wow — my wife and I were just talking about this stuff not long ago! I’m going to have to point her over towards your blog so she can see this, too.

    As a kid, I used to buy this stuff at a corner candy store in our neighborhood. How nostalgic — thanks!

    RESPONSE: You’re welcome!

    I used to buy these most weeks after going to cub scouts. That was in the early 90s.

    I’m sure there was a stage where these were Simpsons themed for some reason!
