Vintage candy. Bazooka Bubble Gum. World War II. What do they have in common?

Of course, you know that the Bubble Gum is vintage gum. But, did you know….

Everything seems to revolve around WWII. Bazooka Bubble Gum is no different. Did you realize that the name, the packaging was no accident? No kidding! Of course, you recognize the color of the packaging: red, white, and blue. Bazooka Bubble Gum came into being shortly after the war.

Do you know where the name came from? After a little research, I found that the name of the gum was not named after the armor piercing weapon used in WWII, but was named after Bob Burns, the entertainer. You see, he developed a musical weapon from two gas pipes and a funnel in the 1930s and called it the Bazooka. I wonder IF the name of the armor was, in fact named from the same? Some claim that it was.
