Were you old enough to buy the
Monkees card issues or the 1967 Philadelphia Gum
Super Hero Stickers? These were produced and distributed in Canada by Grant Products to which Parkhurst had been renamed in November 1963 and contained Zip gum.

Moreover as late as 1972 the Canadian wrapper of the
Horrible Horoscopes cards featured a Zip Bubble Gum side ad:

Zip Bubble Gum must therefore have been sold somewhere into the 1970's though I don't remember ever seeing it.
