[9] Known ingredients [ edit ] The company was founded on April 1, 1891, in Chicago, Illinois by William Wrigley Jr. Wrigley's gum was traditionally made out of chicle, sourced largely from Central America. In 1952, in response to Decree 900, land reforms attempting to end feudal working conditions for peasant farmers in Guatemala, Wrigley's discontinued purchasing chicle from that country. In the 1960s, Wrigley's changed the composition of its chewing gum from using chicle to synthetic rubber, which was cheaper to manufacture. [ citation needed] The Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, known as the Wrigley Company, is an American multinational candy and chewing gum company, based in the Global Innovation Center (GIC) in Goose Island, Chicago, Illinois.

More recent research into the effects of CPP-ACP in chewing gum indicate the agent might not only remineralise teeth, but may also reduce the level of harmful bacteria in the mouth. A study published earlier this year found a statistically significant reduction in salivary Streptococcus mutans – a bacterium associated with dental caries – in subjects who chewed CPP-ACP gum daily for three weeks. As a play on the word "double" in the name, one of the most notable aspects of this brand is the advertising campaign featuring identical twins wearing matching outfits. Beginning in 1939 with stylized illustrations of twins, advertisements continued with print ads and later television commercials, featuring actual twins as spokespersons.

We don’t actually enjoy gum, but the gum itself is a big part of why we love to chew. The idea of chewing, only to spit something out after, is counterintuitive to the act of consumption — gum cannot be eaten or swallowed. (There are myths about how swallowing gum keeps it in your stomach for years, or that it wreaks havoc on your digestive tract. Doctors have debunked this; it exits your system, completely intact, after a few days.) Gum is simply the medium by which we are able to savor the sweet, sometimes minty flavor it contains. Wrigley's is wholly owned by Mars, Incorporated, and, along with Mars chocolate bars and other candy products, makes up Mars Wrigley Confectionery.
