    Feeling nostalgic, I bought some Bit-O-Honey, Black Jack gum, Clove gum, and Beechmans gum, although the Bit-O-Honey that I bought as a kid was the larger bars rather than these individually wrapped ones. The Beechmans is nothing special, but it came with the others. I can't imagine why kids don't chew Black Jack today, as it's still the best.

    Ooooh, I love Bit-0-Honey!! I had totally forgotten about those. I also liked those coconut candy bars that were tri-colored... pink, white and brown. Each section tasted exactly the same. :D

    They carry the classic gums (as well as several candies) at Cracker Barrel restaurants, but I bought them on Amazon.

    I had two in mind but one will have to go in the health board.
    Meanwhile, back in the 50’s....

    I remember when we all chewed Clove gum so we wouldn't have cigarette breath at church. (Like people couldn't smell it on our clothes.) :p
    Of course, we all started with these..........

    I also chewed Teaberry gum...anyone remember that one...can’t remember what it tasted like though.

    My favorite gum was juicy fruit and Stripes.

    I also liked Teaberry, but I don't remember what it tasted like, either.
