Beemans 5 Piece Chewing Gum, 20 Count

Product Information

Beemans Gum was first made by an Ohio Physician named Edward E. Beeman. The product contained pepsin when it was first made but no longer has this ingredient in its recipe. The gum was made with pepsin to improve digestion, according to Beeman. At the time that this product was first being sold, candies and gum products were almost always made with medicinal purposes in mind. You might be a butcher, baker, deli or even a florist. You may run a restaurant, pub or cafe. Or you may sell your wares at fairs or farmers markets. Beemans gum (originally Beeman's Gum, see image at right) is a chewing gum formulated by Ohio physician Edward E. Beeman in the late 19th century. It originally contained pepsin, but no longer does.

Penny, who has kept the business for 13 years and worked there for 32, is passionate about supporting local farmers. "I was born and bred in rural Shropshire, my father worked on a farm," she says. Many businesses in the town are supporting the Shropshire Star's Fair Deal for Farmers campaign, which is an indication of the strong bond between the shops in Bridgnorth and the farms that supply them. Penny Martin, of Pennys Fine Foods, with local honey and cheeses At the moment Bridgnorth High Street is in contention for the title of Best Large Market Town in Britain, and maybe it is the number of independent shops and restaurants proudly selling food and drink from nearby farms that helps make it so special.Many people wonder what the taste of Beemans is like. These older gums can be more flavorful than newer gum products. Newer gums are often fruity or very fresh and minty. This gum is described as a blend between Wintergreen and Juicy Fruit. Maybe this was to disguise the taste of the pepsin itself, which was taken from a hog’s stomach! A few doors down is Mike Pearce, 57, who runs Mike and Sarah's butchers' shop with wife Sarah. Like Richard, he is a veteran of the butcher's trade, having spent 40 years in the industry, and he too believes there is no substitute for keeping it in the county. "We buy all our cattle from Bridgnorth Market, and also our lambs," he says. "All our pigs are free-range rare breeds from a lady called Jane Banks in Newport, and a lot of our cattle comes from Dave Chiltern in Church Stretton. A lamb that has been well fed and cared for will have more meat on it and is going to taste better." Out of all property types, Detached property has always been the most valued and flats are the lowest in valuation. Mike says the public has become more discerning in recent years, and says that this has been a big boost to his business.

Certainly, Beemans was associated with good health and medicine at the beginning of its life as a gum product. This can seem like a really strange use of a gum product to modern consumers, but for those who were consuming gum and candy in the 19 th century, this was totally standard. Products like this were always used for healthcare needs at this time. He moved to his present shop eight years ago, having previously been based in the town's indoor market. Why would you want to bring in food from miles away when we have got so many good farms in Shropshire?" he says. The Beemans Gum brand would become part of the American Chicle company in 1898 when the first chewing gum hit the market. The Chicle gum that is more closely related to the chewing gum of today was actually originally brought to the US in the hopes that it would become an alternate source for rubber in the United States. The gum products that it spawned were much more successful, and Chicle has become synonymous with gum these days.
