I still dream of it! The best gum of them all though was in Parkies/Zip Hockey:

The Zip gum in the Parkhurst packs was thicker and in only one section. But it was juicier than that in Topps packs and had a luscious cherry(?) flavour. Any 70+ Canadian boy will confirm that it was the best!
Zip Bubble Gum was evidently also sold in penny twists:
I never saw Zip in my neck of the woods though. London was O-Pee-Chee country and Fleer Dubble Bubble was the only penny gum that offered a challenge to Bazooka's hegemony.
