The New Plan Starts Picking Up Steam


Word began getting out about what we were up to. We knew we were on our way at our first major milestone, when in a press release on Sept. 20, 2007 we welcomed aboard Joyce Samuels, the Guinness World Record Holder for blowing the largest bubblegum bubble from the nose.

Samuels, known in the business as "The Gum Blowin' Granny," was not only one of bubblegum's greatest pioneers but she was totally in a category all by herself. She not only held the "over the top" unusual Guinness Record of largest bubblegum bubble blown from the nose, she created the entire category by originally setting the record then breaking it later.

Suzy and Joyce had met previously, at the shooting of MTV's show Call To Greatness which was held at the shrine to bubblegum, Bubblegum Alley in San Luis Obispo California. This meeting marked the beginning of a relationship that would have dire implications on the future of bubblegum. In effect, it would go a long ways in creating that future.

This now put our plan in the untouchable category of having two Guinness World Record Holders on the team working on the same goal.

Shortly thereafter, it was announced that I would become spokesman of the group. Then it started getting interesting.
