Chu Bops!

Does anybody remember these?

These were popular back in the 80s for a short time. Called "Chu Bops" they were a piece of bubble gum that was shaped like a record with grooves on it and the songs were listed for that album. Just like a real record would be.

There were several different series of sets including the Bealtles. As you can see here I have the complete set of eight of Elvis. Today some are worth between five and 20 dollars each depending on where you go or who you talk to. Just another blast from the past.

Are these yours?

Yes they are mine. The ones you speak of are most likely knock-offs because these were discontinued in the 80s. As a matter of fact they were only around for a year or two. :-)
