Dubble Bubble tastes great because a fat kid can do a WIlliam Tell and shoot an arrow at his friend’s head

This is a fine candidate for a “Kids, don’t try this at home” disclaimer.We’ve seen Dubble Bubble help terrify a bully into quaking, quivering submission, but never before have we witnessed it contribute to the endangerment of a child. One supposes that the size of the bubble blown was the point here — that Fleer’s Dubble Bubble really was Double Bubble, as it were — and that a kid stood little chance of an arrow missing that barn-sized mark. But you could easily see youngsters getting the wrong idea out of it. Maybe those are suction cup arrows that they’re using, but somehow I doubt it.

Ah, the days when children were shoved out into the world unsupervised and it was a miracle of nature that they didn’t end up feral.
