NEW YORK, April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- After two decades off retail shelves, Iconic Candy, renowned for its revival of nostalgic candy brands and the successful relaunch of Creme Savers®, proudly announces the return of Bubble Jug®. This iconic novelty bubble gum, beloved for its distinctive powder-to-gum transformation, heralds the start of an exciting series of revivals, bringing back the treasured nostalgia of the '90s.

In today's experience-driven world, Iconic Candy does more than just bring back a fan-favorite candy; it's revitalizing an entire era in confections. "The iconic pink jug of Bubble Jug is more than just packaging; it's a symbol engraved in the memories of '90s kids everywhere" said Kim Wiesen, CFO of Iconic Candy. "We're excited to reintroduce this beloved design, offering a tangible piece of nostalgia that fans can hold in their hands once again. The relaunch of Bubble Jug, on the heels of our Creme Savers success, highlights our commitment to blending the best parts of the past, with the present-day trends. It's about celebrating those nostalgic moments while making new memories."

This relaunch spotlights the original and widely adored Tropical Fruit flavor, with plans to unveil new flavors and sour variations in the future.
