The Spanish candy manufacturer Dunkin bought a License from [[Nintendo]] to be able to add [[Pokémon Cards]] to their chewing gum packs named Boomer Bubble Gum. They produced these cards in the years of 1999, 2000 and 2001. This happened in the context of the time, where different types of kids food would offer some prizes like these, such as tazoos with crisp packs.
'''Pokémon Dunkin Boomer cards''' were officially licensed [[Pokémon card]]s manufactured from 1999 to 2001 by Spanish candy manufacturer Dunkin Boomer (now part of {{wp|Mars Inc.}}) packaged with Boomer Bubble Gum.


Only difference here was the usage of 'booster boxes' and 'booster packs'. So the boxes and packs were specially made for this product, the cards were not just added to the regular packaging.

These 50 packs had 2 version of non-holo cards and holo cards. These holo cards can be best compared to sparkle chrome cards that were made by [[Topps]].

The Dunkin Boomer cards are notorious for their limited card quality. This is because these cards are stickers on the front with a quite low quality cardboard backside.

Overview

History

The Spanish candy manufacturer Dunkin Boomer bought a license from Nintendo to be able to add Pokémon cards to their chewing gum packs named Boomer Bubble Gum. They produced these cards in the years 1999, 2000, and 2001. At the time, it was common for different kinds of children's food to come with gifts such as these. However, these contained 'booster boxes' and 'booster packs' specially made for the product, rather than the cards simply being added to the regular packaging.

In 1999 and 2000, the cards added to the Bubblegum packs featured the first 150 Generation I Pokémon, the only Generation I Pokémon missing being Mew.

In 2001, the cards included a selection of 16 Generation I Pokémon and 34 Generation II Pokémon. These 50 packs had one (Sparkle) Holo card and two Nonholo cards in them. The Holo cards can be best compared to Pokémon Chrome Trading Cards Series 1 Sparkle Chrome cards, with the exception that the Holo are not 'dots', but small letters.

Card quality

Dunkin Boomer cards are known to be prone to damage and alteration. The delicate cardboard stock used for the stickers on the Dunkin Boomer cards make them fragile, and the checklists on the backs of the 1999 and 2000 cards commonly have pen marks.
