Trying to remember the name of chewing gum.

Hi Folks

I'm trying to remember the name of a brand of chewing gum that was out in the late 80s. I think it came in a yellow wrapper and it came with a sticker or transferable tattoo that you could stick on your arm. The chewing gum was white, in a square shape and very tick. It wasn't the flat strips like Wrigleys.

I'd be grateful if anyone can help me remember these.

Thanks

I remember the ones. The bubble gum itself was pink. They were 3p each in the late 80s I think. Had two small tatoos in each pack.
I think in later years, mabey the early 90s, they might have had wwf wrestling stickers in them instead of tatoos??

Bazooka Joe looks like it but I remember the package being yellow and the gum being white. Maybe I am mis-remembering it.

I've a vague memory of a chewing gum in the early to mid 80s that came with rub on transfers that were meant to look like tattoos which you stuck on your arm.One lad in our class had one which the teacher made him remove. It was a heart with an anchor on it like the one Popeye had though I'm sure there was no connection to Popeye. They looked very unrealistic I should add.

Bazooka Joe had the mini comic strips in the wrapper.

Chiclets? Can't remember if they came with transfers, but they were chewing gum shaped like little square or oblong cushions, with a glossy white sugar coating. (The name surfaced from my memory bank when marvelling at the smallness of the USB wireless network 'card' I'd bought, which resembles one!).

Was it Dubble Bubble?

I did a search as I vaguely recall how they looked. There's also Justice League as I remember some chewing gum with both batman and superman on the front.

I remember something like this, it was a white regtangular shaped chewing gum, with a citrus taste or something like that. And the tattoos with it were like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman

That’s the ones, the dc super heroes ones with the tattoos that were a big smudgy mess when you tried to put them on.

I remember them, they were called Gold Rush when I was a kid, iirc. They were irregular shapes and had a thick yellowish-gold coating with pink gum inside. They had quite a distinctive tang to them when you first chewed them, I can actually remember it now as I'm typing.

I never could get the hang of blowing bubbles.
