Talk:Princess Bubblegum

Princess Bubble Gum was alive around the time of Simon and Marcie.
Could the Mutant Gumball from Simon and Marcy be a pre-evolved form of Princess Bubblegum? On the Cartoon Network official website (in 2010), Jake referred to her as "a horrible mutant mix of bubblegum and human DNA." When he brought up Finn's crush on her, Finn replied "it's just 'cause of the radiation." So this could be her because she saved Marceline's life and knowing PB she would do something like that. She also created all of the Candy people because she referred to Lemongrab as "My First experiments gone wrong." And because of that he became king of the candy people while she was 13. He would have had to been the first candy person created by PB. She is also the only Bubblegum person shown to date.Csfranklin (talk) 23:02, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

Actualy, Adam Muto confirmed that it wasn't PB. Redzephyr01 (talk) 23:32, April 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * That isn't what he asked, also  01:40, April 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * That was what I asked, lol. I wanted to know so if anyone agree we could add it to the page. But I thank both of you.Csfranklin (talk) 03:43, April 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * No you asked if it was a pre-evolved form of Princess Bubblegum. Also again, this belongs in the forums. 13:40, April 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have to disagree.  This is appropriate to this talk page as this information should be on her biography.  Simon and Marcy shows a pink blob providing chicken soup to help Marceline which then smiles briefly.  It seems reasonable that if PB is a blob of irradiated human DNA and bubblegum, that she may have been created by the radiation from the Mushroom War.  I've never edited here and honestly, I just started watching the show this week, but I only checked this talk page because I planned on adding that info mylsef and wanted to check the water first.  You may disagree that said blob is PB, but the idea that this belongs on the forum is silly as this clrearly pertains to PB's origin (which is not mentioned on the page) and is thus a page discussion. Wether or not that's really her should be on the forum, but the fact that it may be her should be on the page.  The facts are that a sticky pink intelegent blob smiled at Simon and provided chicken soup in an area filled with irriadiated mutants.  That's more than enough info to justify putting on her page that it MAY be her origin.  Badpeteno (talk) 23:09, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * The problem is that word, "may" though, you can try to add something I guess. 14:42, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

About her age.
Which is 300+, is there some fact behind that? Or is it another case of AT's jokes taken way too seriously? Logan Winter (talk) 10:16, May 24, 2013 (UTC)

In the "The Suitor" Peppermint Butler asks the next to last suitor how long he had been waiting, he says 300 years, so she must be at least 300 years old. She must age at a very slow rate. Let's say if she had suitors wiating since she was 13 years old - I figure she must be at least 1,000 years old now. 65.215.33.194 18:07, May 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * That makes sense. However, it may have been just a joke.


 * True that, though note it does jive with Marceline's age and the timing of the Mushroom War (both about 1,000 years ago)

 * I agree that it might have been a joke. I know she's older than she looks, much older, but 300 is a bit much. Also, to say she's 1000 is impossible. She is not a first-gen candy person and we already have two or more characters that old. So I will not allow the wikia to be edited to show her as 300+ until we get confirmation from formspring.

 * We knew she was really old because of the Princess Cookie episode but of course she ages slowly, she is made out of gum, do you know how long that stuff lasts? Also to say she is 1000 is not impossible, a lot of people theorize that the gum that gave Simon a can of food for Marcy was Bonni, and finally Adam Muto has stated not to use Formspring for sources therefore the 300+ age should be fine as long as we put a little source thing that states the episode. 14:42, June 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think we might possibly be reading the 300+ years thing out of context. While it's possibly that the fellow could have been waiting 300 years to date Bubblegum (I'm not ruling it out) he may have also been waiting that long to date "the princess". It may be that in Oo, you just want to have a date with the princess in general, and not necessarily any in particular. For all we know the 300+ years guy wanted to date Cotton Candy Princess or something like that originally, but kept in line even after the princess changed to daughter to daughter since he still found the new generation of princesses attractive.
 * For the source, The Suitor/Transcript has Krusty (can he have a page?) saying "Three hundred years, so what? Not too late right boy." to Peppermint Butler. He's the non-specific guy. I really thing we should say that PB is at LEASt 21 years old though, based on Braco (21 years old) saying "I was born to court the Princess Bubblegum". Previously, Pepperminet had asked "how long have you been waiting to court the princess?" which is about the position, not the individual (thus the Cotton Candy out). Braco specifies PB though. Loghan's article also says "Loghan was Braco's father and was one of Princess Bubblegum's suitors. He died while waiting for a chance to court the princess". That doesn't necessarily say how old Braco's father with. I mean, for all we know, Loghan could have conceived Braco when he was 19 and then died the following year (it never said old age) meaning that maybe PB was only 40?
 * Most telling though is Hobus, the grandfather of Braco. "According to Braco, Hobus knew most about Princess Bubblegum." says the article. Checking the transcript to confirm this though, I wonder if the article might be assuming. The script says "I decided to consult the man who knew best about her majesty". Does 'her majesty' necessarily mean Peebles herself, or the person in the position of princess. Tacking no another 20 years, let's say, Peebles should be at least 60. So Hobus was 'one of' the first suitors? (not sure where script specifies) but people have been waiting to be her suitor for 300 years (I believe Krusty, we all should) and one of them was probably Mr. Cream Puff prior to his death. +Yc 10:22, July 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * I doubt it, he didn't seem like the type to be only interested in the position, and we all know how long gum lasts. 12:11, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

 * There's no way she would have 300+ on the same room there are pictures of other 3 princess at least, there's a reason why their pictures are there, there's also hinted the Cotton Candy Princess which ruled during the time of billy, and Billy seemed to be old.
 * Can even put 300+ but there's no source of it, it should be unknown until we have a confirmation of her actual age.
 * And about the duration of the gum, her hair which is made of gun always change during various episodes, her hair is also part of her body and this is not affected, she doesnt age or regresses when she loses part of her hair i believe it should be unknown.


 * I think she is over 300, Finn said so. Also, in Earth and Water, Cinnamon Bun told Flame Princess that she was imprisoned in a lamp 15 years ago.

During/after the war
In the episode where Simon (now the Ice King) and young Marcaline are looking for chicken soup for Marcaline's cold, near the end a pink ooze gave the soup to Simon. Can we be sure or get a verification that was or was not Princess Bubblegum before she became a humanoid? It would seem fitting if that was her due to the way she acted in that scene.Sivos909 (talk) 15:46, November 19, 2013 (UTC)
