A magistrate "lost it" when he jailed a man for 30 days for blowing bubble gum in his court, a judge has been told.

Mirza Zukanovic found himself in a sticky situation when he was charged with contempt and sentenced to 30 days' jail for blowing a bubble in front of magistrate Rodney Crisp.

Zukanovic spent 12 hours in custody before the Victorian Supreme Court granted him bail following an appeal by his lawyers.
