Fantastic Four Bubble Gum in 1983

The Marvel of today may be doing all that they can to bury the Fantastic Four, but back in the eighties, the company was promoting the Fantastic Four right alongside their other superhero teams and characters. Proof? Check out this 1983 advertisement — from an issue of Marvel’s Indiana Jones comic book — and the unusual choice of licensing out the Fantastic Four for gum. Gum? Yes, kids, gum.

Also, artificial grape flavor is an abomination and must be stopped. Fact! No need to look it up, I promise that science has proven that artificial grape is disgusting and wrong. (May not be a fact and instead just an opinion. Mileage may vary.)
