Topps - Video Arcade Gum candy ad sell sheet - 1983

Video Arcade Gum were a series of cool candy containers Topps put out in the early 80's. Each one was designed to look like a popular arcade machine of the time.

These are great - and I've love to find some.

This is a dealer ad sheet - a promotional flyer Topps would send to potential buyers.

Can't say I remember these. Was the gum the same shape in every box? It would've been awesome if they were shaped like gorillas or frogs or spaceships.

bcanada: I agree, that would have been cool. I suspect that they were filled with little Chiclet type of gum pieces.

I loved these as a kid. Was bummed the day my local deli stopped stocking it. Really wish I saved some of the boxes. I've been hunting eBay for a long time and only managed to score one of the promo flyers and 2 empty, but intact, boxes:

Hi,
I have five of these, unopened (gum still in) in great condition; Frogger, Zaxxon, QBert, Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.
Besides that I also have the flyer pictured above.
