Chiclets are small, rectangular pieces of chewing gum that are coated with a colorful candy shell. They come in various flavors, including mint, fruit, and cinnamon. Originally introduced in the late 19th century, Chiclets were one of the first brands to popularize the idea of flavored gum. The name "Chiclets" is derived from the Spanish word "chicle," which refers to the natural gum obtained from the sapodilla tree. This product was initially made with chicle, but modern versions often use synthetic gum bases. Chiclets are widely recognized for their distinctive packaging and have become a nostalgic treat for many.
