Liz Turnbull, Shriya, Roo Black and Rebecca Curnow. Congratulations guys! You should have all received your Bubblegum Machines by now so we hope they have taken pride of place on your desks ;).
im sure my sister would love this! especially after being ill the last week of term and for her birthday this would definitley cheer her up! now shes almost munched her way through her valentines day sweets!
I had one of these as a child and in recent weeks my childhood home has unfortunately been raised to the ground, destroying much of the contents. Would be a great boost for me and my personal memories.
They take me back ^_^ I had 1 similar when I was young…. My son would like this, mind you so would I lol x x
I would love to win because I want to see the bubblegum balls go round and round!!! Plus I looooove chewies!!! xoxo
So I could have a bubble blow off with my boyfriend, I officially rule at the art of blowing bubbles so it would be a certain victory for me, the choddy queen!
I’d love to win this bubblegum machine because it would brighten up my office and I’ll be able to blow bubbles to distracted myself from work! lol x
Id love to win something that will remind me of my inner child 🙂
Always a treat to put some money in one of these when i was little – used to try to guess what colour you would get 🙂
this takes me back a bit , would love to so i can be in bubblegum heaven
I think I deserve these sweets as my brother’s girlfriend is giving birth to my first neice as I type! I’m trying to find things to keep me occupied while I wait for news, im on tenterhooks! I’m so proud of them both! Xxx
Awesome! I know a lovely little lad who deserves one of these! Great giveaway! 🙂 xxx Happy Wednesday!
My posts keep disappearing so pls excuse if you get two! I would love to win one of these for my little boy. His name is Jordy, he’s utterly gorgeous but has been so poorly for a good two weeks now, missed all of his half-term being stuck in bed, this would make his day! Pls delete other post if it appears! Not trying to enter twice! xxx
I would love to win the bubble gum machine for unconventional reasons
Everyone loves bubblegum, its perfect in all seasons
But I want to win so it can adorn the table at my wedding party
To make my buffet look really quite arty
The guests will all love to help themselves to these sweets
And with an extra tub, there will be plenty of treats
I think it would look good and cause plenty to chat
“wow look at that bubblegum machine where did you get that”
OMG, I would love to win this, I am currently studying really hard so that I can get into University, I know that this would help me massively.
I spend around 16 hours a day studying, you dont know just how much this would help me,so long as i can keep my dad away from it.
My son keeps pestering me to show him how to blow bubbles,this would be the perfect way!
My middle sister used to have one of these and used it as her money box. I found a way of opening the machine and pinching all the bubblegums without having to pay any money in , it was wicked of me but i did love doing it
i would love this as i always wanted one as a child
I’d love this because it’s fun and funky – and I could use it to bribe my kids (do this for me and you can have a go on my bubblegum machine…)
Well my partner would like to answer this on my behalf…..
Please let my girlfriend win then i might get some peace and quiet whilst she is busy chewing!
This is like me very retro! I have a jellybean dispenser but would love a bubblegum one to match!!
I remember these! You’d put your money in & hopefully the colour you wanted would come out. I’d always end up with the one i didn’t want, but it didn’t stop me chewing it!
I’m a rather simple bloke, but my great pleasure is watching my daughter’s eyes get big when she sees this! Here’s a rough approximation: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/263/eyesmh.jpg/.
I just wanna get busy blowing bubbles!
I would love this as I have just spent 6weeks recovering a foot operation and I have just had my braces taken out so it would be a nice treat, another point i love your sweets and I buy some for most ocations thank you it’s a great little machine and I have always wanted one and I will have to keep comeing back to refill it
OH WOW! I remember this from my childhood and haven’t seen one in years. It takes me right back to when times were good. I would love to win this for me and my brother and rekindle our memories when we used to have these. I remember we were allowed one after dinner if we were good. Would definately make my day if i won this.
Ohhh fantastic, they put one of these outside the flats where we lived in Germany last year!! Didn’t take the kids long to try and break into it! xx

I would love to win this as I am trying to stop smoking and find that chewing takes my mind of the need to smoke!!
I should win because I love Bubbleguma and if I feed enough of them to my husband maybe it will stop him talking, lol!!
Pick me, please pick me! I would love to have this on my desk as I love bubblegum – I have promised my team I will tidy my desk if I win and as a chatterbox in an open-plan office chewing bubblegum keeps me quiet : )
Someone has to save you!!! Chewing gum and bubblegum are not suited to a lady but I am sure with a great deal of personal self-sacrifice I could work my way through the contents then refill it with more wholesome gobstoppers 😉 xxx
I would love to win this bubble gum machine for my hubby who is a sweetaholic!! He eats sweets everyday. Its our 13th wedding anniversary on the day you do the draw so i would love to tell him about my win if i am lucky!!

I love to live life in a BUBBLE, when you get ROUND to it, ‘CHEWS’ me. It will BLOW me away and I’ll have a BALL with this fab retro bubblegum machine!!!
All those stories I was told as a kid about swallowing ,I’m now advanced in years, were untrue and it would be lovely to have gum on tap as it were.
you gotta love a bit of retro chewyness. why chew on the end of a pen when you can chew on one of these lil beauties? Grand stuff..
Purely and simply so I can be the coolest kid in the office!
It’s my 23rd birthday this Friday, and I was feeling abit depressed and old before my time; but winning these would take me right back to my childhood when i used to save my pennies patiently to buy these, then make them last as long as possible! 🙂
My husband is a mature student and I’m currently bringing him lots of cups of tea and sweet things to encourage him with his coursework and revision! I’d love to be able to bring him the occasional bubblegum as he loves it and it would definitely cheer him up – plus, if he’s too busy chewing, he won’t be able to complain about how hard the work is! 🙂
I’d love this bubblegum machine because it would sure impress my boss. I might even get a promotion.
(Sweet Shop Assistant)
Would love to see how many i could fit into my mouth and blow the biggest bubble!
i would just love love love to win just so i can be a cool mummy lol my kids would do anything i asked as long as i keep the balls rolling lol
i would love this because i love bubblegum i am the bubble gum queen
I always wanted one of these as a kid, it would be awesome to own one now!
Who wouldn’t love this!!! theres nothing better than seeing who can blow the biggest bubbles or adding more and more pieces every time the flavor starts to fade! reminds me of when I was younger
CHEW,BLEW,THANK YOU!!
Well, I would like the bubble gum machine because….. I am some what of a bubble gum maistro, world champion bubble blower infact!! Another thing you might be interested in is that when I was at school they used to call me Ross ‘the bubbles’ Black, and sometimes just called me pop for short. Probably because of the sound my bubble gum made, but I like to think it was just because I was popular!! 8D
The best by gum, beyond compare, flavours to savour anywhere. It’s all GUM in the best possible taste!
i love them because there soo sweet…. there good chewing gum and they last a long time
hi i have 4 chilcdren, a bubblegum machine would be heaven in our house it would give us some well deserved peace and quite.
im always trying to show the kids how to blow a bubble this great prize would give us plenty to practise with!
Would love to win this my desk has a retro theme atm and this wopuld fit right in.
If I was to win, it could be troublesome,
my desk laden with all that gorgeous bubblegum,
people would stare, they may sit nearer,
surely they’d notice, it would become clearer,
they could discover I’m not actually working,
I’m posting comments and downright shirking,
Oh the dilemma and confusion of what to do,
I’ll leave it in your hands it’s up to you!
hi, great comp, why would i love to win? well with a great prize like this, why not?, its retro smart, and full of lovelybubble gum
would love to win this brings back memories
id rather have hubba bubba
I’m always telling my sister she’s full of hot air and her mouth never stops going! This would be a great way of putting her excess air to good use and keeping her quiet for a while, plus the bubblegum might make her breath smell a bit nicer…to say she’s fan of spicy food would be an understatement! So we would all benefit from this prize!
Take me back to my childhood
I would use it to help keep my twin granddaughters occupied when they come to visit 😛
love it x
i would love to win this for my husband, just because i love him and love chewbz
I would let my kids chew on these until their jaws ached….what a wonderfully peaceful time i would have….aaahhhhh
I would love to win this as it reminds me of my childhood lol
LOVE TO WIN as i looooe sweeties
and i would share with my work so we can all stop bickering and start eating sweets instead
This would bring back so many memories for my mum when she was a kid. I remember she always used to tell me how she’d go down to the shop with her friends and get bubblegum from one of these machines. Would love to see the look on her face if I one day gave her one. 🙂
I used to make really big bubbles,
Now I make really big cuddles.
Don’t let the bubble burst on me,
I’d really like this machine for free!
I’m in my girlfriend’s bad books at the moment and would love to ‘sweeten’ her up!
My think bubble is thinking bubbles, chewing bubbles and blowing bubbles. Please don’t burst my bubble!
It would be bubble fun chewing gum
playing for a treat
If I’d win my heart would miss a beat
i would love this would make me feel like a kid again looks great fun,would have to hide it from the kids!
I used to love these as a child and have rediscovered them recently.
This would be great for a wedding I’m attending in September too 🙂
Because it looks so colorful and will certainly brighten up our office, Better than a plant any day.
I want to win these because like you said I want to make my desk the most populist around to be honest I never take anything in to work for the others to share with me but if i won this I would share with all my office mates so let the bubble see the gum.
It would release my inner child.
Retro, what do you mean retro, Im old enough to remember them first time round. Help me relive my mis-spent youth !
I remember having one of these,nostalgia! bet my kids would love one
Was never allowed bubblegum at home as a child, this would bring out the rebel in me lol
I’d love to win would really brighten up my desk at work and make all my friends and work colleagues jealous!!!
what a great prize I need this it would look great in my kitchen
I’m forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air..!
When I was a kid you could get bubble gums 2 for a penny.
Ah those were the days…could you bring them back for me with this?
I would love to win this for my 7 year old daughter, she has always wanted one of these but I don’t know where to buy them. I’m sure I would like a go of it too! I would keep it for her birthday in April as an extra surprise
What fun! Perfect desk accessory.
i’d love to win this for my kids, although they are 26,24,23,and 20, i could do with a bit of peace and quiet!!!! please let me win, at least they would all be chewing at the same time
There’s just something about watching those little bubblegum balls dropping down the tube and wondering what colour you’re going to get!
I can pretend it’s from Willie Wonka and guess which flavour I’ll get next,
Beef and Yorkshires or maybe Chicken Soup or maybe even fruit salad.
I’d love to win this bubblegum machine because I have 6 children, and the bright funky bubblegum machine would have my kids in awe.. It would have pride of place (high up of course so couldn’t be reached by kiddy hands!) and I could use it to make them do some jobs for me… “if you tidy your room, you can have a bubblegum from the super duper machine!” I reckon this could work!!!! 🙂
love this. takes me back a few years. got a feeling the kids might steal this from me if i won!
I’m stuck all by myself in a pokey little office and rarely get to see anyone. I reckon with this on my desk everybody will want to come to see me and it will certainly brighten the place up.
It would be so useful in my office as with my colleagues and tradesmen in and out all the time it is very noisy so some bubble gum may quieten it down a bit!
Id love one of these to shut my husband up for a while lol x
This would take me back to younger day’s when these were all the rage.
I would really love to win this so I could give it to my hubby…… Then whiles he is busy chewing I could eat the sweets I have just ordered for him 😉 yummy hehe
Ooh I would love this! I’m a fan of all things fun and funky so this would suit me down to the ground! My fella would appreciate it too as it would shut me up for a while. Thanks for the awesome comp! 😀
My little boy bought one with his Christmas money and was so happy. It then broke a few weeks later :'( He was devastated as he’d wanted one for ages. We’d only just let him start eating bubblegum too. He’d love a replacement.
WOW, I’d so love a bubble gum machine, they remind me of being a child, only they were much bigger, I remember standing starring lovingly at the brightly coloured balls, mom wouldn’t let me have bubbly gum, every now and then dad would get me one, without mom knowing, if I had a bubble gum machine now, I could help myself, probably still feel like a naughty girl getting one, looking over my shoulder if mom was watching LOL
I would love to win this bubble gum machine as a present for my eldest grandson as he is bubblegum mad
Going camping with biker mates this year, would love to see their faces if this was placed on the camping table. Love it
I’d love to win a Bubblegum Machine because I’m such a bubbly personality, I’m forever blowing bubbles!
Just a follow up from my first post, I am now the proud auntie of a very beautiful little girl Lily-Mae born 8lb 3oz xxx
My husband would love this. Ever since I met him he has always been chew, chew, chew. Keeps him quiet though!!
Great memories of sweet shops in the 80s – plus my nephew and nieces would love it. Really hope I win this.
Always wanted one of these as a child – now I’m a grown up I would love to have this in the house for my children
love these machines , we all like to see who can blow the biggest bubbles so havent a surply of bubble gum would be great , i might even win the biggest bubble blowing 🙂
These are so fun!!! I’ve never had one of my very own before, and would love to have this in the kitchen for me and my kids….I wonder who would get sore jaws first! 😀
I got one of these last year for my birthday! The bubblegum dudn’t last too long :’D xx
I would love to win as woulld give to my partner who has never had one
My granddaughter would love this and probably all her friends too
How very handy and good for the toothy pegs!
Bubble gum brings back memories of my little dog Trudy who has long since gone to doggy heaven.She rolled in some gum at the park one time and we had to clip all her fur.She looked very funny with her furry little head and bald body.
So I can go around saying…
“Every day I’m chewin’ ‘”
I would love to win this as it takes me back to when I was a kid getting these in your 10 pence mix ups… well when 10p mix up meant loads of sweets not like now lol, so fingers crossed x
Chewing’s my name, chewing’s my game. Chewbz is the answer. Bubblegum’s my aim!
Thanks nom nom!
Need a supply of bubble gum as my son is trying to learn to blow bubbles and its the most funny thing you have ever seen the faces he pulls and bubblegum flying all over the place :0)xx
I’d love to win this – it would be so cool
Til the bubbles burst on my face and I look a fool!!
WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT
Please?
xx
I’m getting my braces off after 3 looong years, and am looking forward to being able to chew bubblegum again! Help a gal out! 😉
When I was a small girl on my way to school one day I put a penny (old one , it was a long time ago!)into a bubblegum machine outside a shop , The flap got stuck open and there was an avalanche of Bubblegum tumbling out, I quickly lifted my skirt to catch them and then ran off to school to share them with my friends !!! I always feel dreadfully guilty when i think of it now but at the time i just thought it was my lucky day !
I’ll be making bubbles all day and telling the world how fantastic Chewbz is.
I LOVE these, reminds me of when I was younger. If I won one I’d defo take it to work, I’m sure it would make everyone very happy :O)
I would love to win this bubblegum machine for my son so that he can take it back his yellow themed room at uni and then he can share it with his friends whilst they write their assignments.
I just love blowing bubbles
my kids would love this!
I had one of these when I was younger and it broke!!! I was gutted. Would bring back some good memories if I won this!!!!
I’m very CHEWsy so I’d love this!
Kids would love this, great treat. x
I would love to win this because I love bubblegum and it also looks so retro and would look really cool in my room 🙂 x
I would love to win this to give it to my hubby so I could eat all the sweets I have just ordered for him as he was chewing these 😉
I love blowing bubbles despite the annoyingn sensation of peeling it off afterwards, this would bring many hours of blowing fun it would be great to win it
I’d love to win – what a fabulous treat for the kids!
My kids are off sweets and treats for Lent – this would be a huge hit on Easter Sunday….
My office is completely away from everyone else’s, it’s not on the way to anything – there’s not even a window. I’d love to have something to entice more people to come and visit me! 😉
my kids would love this!. they are a tiny bit bubble gum mad, it drives my sister mad when they all sit chewing in her ear. my mum says they look like a field of cows chewing grass! haha
These may acutally keep my 10 year old quiet for a few seconds!
my daughter is bubblegum mad ,a retro machine would look awesome in her room
I’d love a bubblegum machine because I’ve never been able to blow bubbles and it would give me an opportunity to practice daily and brush up on my bubble-blowing skills (plus it’s really cute!)
THIS IS WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE TO MY PARTNER WHO IS A BIG KID AND HAD ONE WHEN HE WAS A KID WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET ONE FOR AGES PLEASE MAKE HIS DAY AND MINE.
Remember wanting one as a child, would still like one now having seen it again, lots of bubble blowing!
I always wanted one of these as a kid and now I’d love to win this one for my grandsons
I’d love to win because I’ve always wanted one since I was a kid, and never got one *boo*
Ooh i loved these when i was younger great way of saving money and delicious treat with it x
Well as my nepwhew for his sins is a West Ham fan, he’s forever blowing bubbles and this will help in two ways, 1) to allow to keep blowing bubbles with the gum and 2) to give us a break for his constant chatter about his beloved team.
Everyone at work is always asking me for gum, so I’ll have a supply and they can help themselves!
The bubblegum machine should be mine,
It would help to take me back in time,
To when I was a child blowing bubbles,
And getting sticky, and dirty and in all sorts of trouble!! 🙂
Wicked Competition, Got One Of These For Xmas As A Kid,Would Love To Win…
I would reward my-self with a bubblegum treat every time I finish a piece of uni work… or maybe give the handle a cheeky turn every 500 words (though 100 words would be sufficient right?)…. Who knows, the chewing/blowing bubbles process could inspire my work. Retro sweets are definitely brain food! 😉
i would love to win this so that i could give it to my hubby…… then whiles he is chewing away i could sneakily eat the sweets i have just ordered for him for our wedding anniversary on monday 🙂
always wanted one a real blast from the past!
When I was little and had bubblegum I used to have to hide from my mum as she hated me chewing gum as I got it everywhere (hair, clothes, bed etc etc) I would love 1 of these to remind me of my childhood 🙂
OMG !!!!!!
I SHOULD WIN THIS CAUSE U DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE BUBBLE GUM 😛 !!!
THE CHEWS!

THE MACHINE!
I AM TOTALLY OBSSEEDDD!
CHEW IT , CHEW IT ,

THE retro sweet of all sweets,
we all wanted to chew,
but were never allowed as it wouldn’t do,
but we all tried to sneak when our parents weren’t looking
until they’d find our gum stuck to our beds – whilst we were znooking !! z z z z z z z
But to own a machine to produce our own bubble gum
would be amazing to think we could be ,once again, chewing yum !!!!!
I love to log in to retro sweets,
I yearn to ogle at the treats.
And the new Chewbz bubblegum machine,
Leaves my kids ever so keen.
They’ll blow and blow and just wont stop,
Until at the end it will all go POP!
Yum, I used to love these!!! Still would 🙂 x
I would love this for my family on card night, (Im always the banker)! so when we play Fish, Blackjack, 21 or Poker we could maybe let the penny pot accumulate and use Bubblegum balls as collateral!
