Beemans Chewing Gum

Beemans gum is a chewing gum invented by Ohio physician Dr. Edward E. Beeman in the late 19th century. Beeman originally marketed the gum, which is made of pepsin powder and chicle, as an aid to digestion. As far as we know pepsin has not been an ingredient for many years.

The brand has changed hands over the years and was discontinued in the late 1970s due to low sales. Beemans is currently being made in a single batch every 2 to 3 years by the Cadbury Adams Company.

BLACK JACK GUM

Did you know that Black Jack is one of the oldest gums in existence? When it was first introduced in 1871, the gum was chicle-based and flavorless. It wasn’t until 1884 that licorice was added as a flavor (they first tried Sasparilla but it didn’t taste as good as expected), thus making it the first flavored gum in the history of candy! It was also the first chewing gum available in individually wrapped “sticks.” Talk about an American classic!
