Q&A for How to Blow a Bubble with Bubblegum

Let the air in slowly and whilst doing this, make sure you are not in a windy place. It is the slow intake of air that allows the bubble to expand larger and larger in a gently way, without popping. If you blow too quickly, it expands too quickly and is liable to bursting earlier.

You have to flatten the gum, hold the ends of the gum with your teeth, and poke your tongue so that your tongue is covered in a thin layer of gum. Exhale gently. It takes practice and time.

You can, but the bubble will not be very large.

Keep practicing and keep your tongue inside the bubble until you get it. Then remove your tongue from the bubble. It does take time to finally "get it" but once you do, you'll have the technique for life (blowing bubbles as a granddad is cool).

Close your mouth on the gum to seal it. Then, try to carefully open your mouth and suck it back in.

You don't have to make it. Many corner stores and shops sell bubble gum. Gas stations have it, while Walmart has it in checkout aisles. If you don't have anything like that close to you, try a grocery store.

You move it around in your mouth with your tongue. Or if you wanted to, you could take it out of your mouth and mold it into a ball with your fingers.

Start with a smaller amount of gum. If you have one piece of gum, try only chewing half.

You are blowing air into the bubble, causing it to expand, just like a balloon.

Just use your hands to peel it off and put it back in your mouth.

Flatten it with your tongue against the roof of your mouth. It works better. If you cannot do this, use your fingers to help.

You can make a little hole in the middle, but don't poke it all the way through the gum, and then put your tongue in the middle.

The bubble has to be large, and you have to pop it with your tongue. Pop fast, and use real force.

You don't have to, but some people like to do it for fun.

Try to make an air pocket in the gum by slightly pulling your tongue out, then lift the top of the gum on your tongue to open up the airway. Exhale, and you should get it.

Wash your hands, then pull the gum off and put it back in your mouth. After this, you may want to wash your hands again. Then, just chew the gum more until it's less sticky.

Yes. You could flatten the gum, push it up and poke your tongue through it and blow.

Hubba Bubba is an excellent choice, and any other gum company is good too, like Double Bubble. Even brands that are more known for chewing gum, like Extra, would be fine. Just so you know, it's not the gum company that affects your ability to blow bubbles.

Use your tongue to push it to your teeth. It won't really stick that well but it will stick enough.

You don't need to get it into your gums. You flatten the gum against your teeth by pushing the gum with your tongue onto your front teeth.

Try blowing some more, but gently. If you don't want to pop it on your face, don't blow really big.

Try just holding it in with your fingers till you get used to it, and then try without them. You can hold your fingers on the two sides of the gum so it won’t come out, then just blow.

When blowing a bubble, what you need to do is poke your tongue through, just a bit, in order to create an air pocket. Withdraw your tongue and sigh; a bubble should be forming. Do not sigh to hard or you will force the gum out of your mouth.

Try to curl your tongue into a U shape once you’ve got the gum over your tongue. Also, make sure the gum isn’t too thick. Blow like you're trying to cool down a hot drink or soup (channel the air).

It's possible, though it may be slightly harder. You should make a very flat circle of gum using the roof of your mouth, lay it against your lips and blow gently.

Try to make the gum stick to your teeth. When you roll the gum into a ball and push it against your teeth, clench your teeth and push as hard as you can with your tongue, making sure you push mainly on the sides of the gum and not just in the center. Then open your teeth a little, pucker your lips like you're going to whistle, and blow using your diaphragm.

This is pretty hard to fix. You have to open your teeth a little and push right in the center of the gum. Then you should brush your tongue on your mouth to make the gum around your tongue thinner so you can actually see your tongue through the gum. That prevents drooling and makes it easier to stick out your tongue.

It can be done with amounts varying from half a piece to four pieces. The more gum you use, however, the more difficult it will be to blow bubbles.

Yes, Hubba Bubba is an excellent gum for chewing, as all gums are, but it's actually bubble gum. If that's what you meant, Hubba Bubba is good for blowing bubbles.

You have to blow into it slowly, but not too slowly. This way, the bubble won't burst too quickly.
