Cry Baby (gum)

For other uses, see Crybaby (disambiguation).

Cry Baby is a brand of extra sour bubble gum manufactured by Tootsie Roll Industries.

The claim that Cry Baby used to be Tear Jerkers is untrue. Here is an article from 1992 that specifically lists them as separate products: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1992-03-26/news/9201280133_1_cry-babies-3rd-grader-abington-memorial-hospital

Their claim to fame is their incredibly sour coating, which disappears shortly after the gum is chewed. The name comes from the concept that the gum is so intensely sour that could cause a person's eyes to water upon first tasting it.

They come in the following fruit flavors:
