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.
