Tree Hugger Bubble Gum Variety Pack, 2 oz Bags, 4 Pack

Tree Hugger is a small Maryland gum company that makes bubble gum the old-fashioned way: round gumballs in a hard shell, with natural colors and flavors, sold as fruit blends rather than single notes. This variety pack pairs the two the brand is known for, Citrus Berry and Fantastic Fruit, across four 2 oz bags.

The gumballs are the smaller 16 mm size, closer to what drops out of a countertop machine than the jumbo tubes the brand also sells, so a bag holds a good handful and one or two pieces makes a sensible portion for a child. Each bag mixes several colors, and the flavor reads fruit-forward and mild rather than sharp.

Parents buying for lunchboxes, party favors, and classroom goody bags are the main audience here, along with anyone refilling a gumball machine or setting out a candy table at home. Four bags also splits neatly between two flavors and two kids.
