How do you make the best bubbles with gum?
You know, those huge pink, size of your face ones.
I’ve got the bubble tape, but mine aren’t getting bigger than oh, an inch and half in diameter.
Any tricks?

Blow gently and steadily. I’m not sure if Bubble Tape is the best gum to use for this. I seem to remember using Bubblelicious or Hubba Bubba.
Bazooka never let me down. I also remember success with Double Bubble—is it still made?
My mother taught me how to do this. It’s been a long time, but I seem to remember playing it out gradually, working it with tongue and teeth and lips to get a consistent surface. It’s going to break at the weakest point, naturally, so you want as even a distribution as possible to delay thinning to the point of breaking.
Then follow Aug’s advice to blow gently and steadily.
Good idea to keep your hair out of the way and also not be wearing anything you can’t say good-bye to.
Hubba Bubba is by far one of the more superior gums for blowing bubbles. I agree with the above slow and steady, make sure you spread the gum evenly between you teeth to reduce splitting!
Have fun and post some pics of your big bubbles!!
@Jeruba I think double bubble is still around (is that the individual round pink gum?)
Hubba bubba bubble tape is indeed the gum i’m using,
it’s been slow going, but yesterday night I finally got one that reached my nose.
(slowly but surely)

Try using a longer piece of gum??
