Bazooka Joe Goes Over the Finally Irrelevant Cliff

LINK to the story


According to the story linked above, Bazooka bubblegum will be dropping their iconic red, white and blue wrappers featuring the adventures of Bazooka Joe and his gang, citing that only 7% of children aged 6 to 12 knew who the character was. Frankly, I'm surprised that even that many kids today knew who Bazooka Joe was! The Bazooka Joe comic strip was outdated and irrelevant even when I was a child in the 1970's!

Bazooka Joe and his comic strip antics will be replaced with puzzles and trivia apparently.
