You know that gum you like? It’s coming back in style.

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Now here’s something you don’t see every day: Nostalgia Chewing Gum.  This gum only goes into production every two or three years, so when you see it, you better snatch up a bunch.  Black Jack is licorice-flavored,  Clove tastes like… cloves.  Beeman’s gum is harder to describe: It was originally marketed in the early 1900s as a digestive aid.  Though it no longer contains pepsin, it’s spicy and tastes a bit like mint and Pepto Bismol with a hint of clove or licorice.  I know that might not sound appetizing, but I urge you to taste it for yourself.  Then you’ll understand why people get so excited when it comes back in stock. $1 per pack of 5 sticks.
