You can now buy Hubba Bubba-flavoured gin and people are calling it a celebration of their childhood

THERE'S no denying that Hubba Bubba chewing gum was the taste of our childhood.

We loved the super sweet strawberry flavour as children, and now it's back in the form of expensive gin.

Taking inspiration from childhood tuck shops, launched their range of Hubba Bubba, fruit salad and Jammy Dodger-flavoured gins yesterday to the delight of many G&T lovers.

But it's safe to say the nostalgic range has totally divided the internet and caused outrage and amazement among Hubba Bubba fans.

A staple of our childhood, the gin has even received the seal of approval from fellow drinks brand Gin Can Do, who commented on an post of the gin.

They said: "Nothing less World Class - growing up in the 80s then this chewing gum gin is a must in the collection."

Another fan wrote: "This is incredible!!

"Custard creams are my favourite also."

After hearing the news, one fan could only write on Twitter: "Hubba Bubba Pink Gin. M8."

And this convert said: "Never thought I'd like anything but vodka... but GIN.

"The sweet violet one, now there's Hubba Bubba, omg."

A third wrote: "Just discovered there's hubba bubba flavored gin and I can't think of any better way to celebrate my childhood."

One fan of the throwback treat wrote: "I'm not being dramatic but if one of my friends/family doesn't find me some Hubba Bubba gin for my bday I'll actually cry."

Another gin fanatic described the divisive gin as looking "unreal".

But some Twitter users were up in arms over the flavour combo, asking why on earth it even exists before confirming they were "disgusted" by the violation of perfectly good chewing gum.

One disgusted user tweeted: "Couldn't think of anything worse than hubba bubba gin, wrong."

It's safe to say the distressing development warranted ample use of the vomiting emoji, with another user declaring that the news made "Jesus weep".

One fed up chewing fan boldly stated: "I am unfriending the next person to tag me in the Hubba Bubba monstrosity on Facebook."

Meanwhile, the boldly-named Gin Lord issued a "public service announcement" in which they claimed the range "do not have a place on the Gin market" and pleaded that we "stop this insanity."

But if there's one silver lining for the Hubba haters, it's currently unavailable to buy online... but if you needed a fix you can get your hands on some bubble gum flavoured gin instead.
