NEWS ABOUT CHEWS. Do you remember Adams Sour Apple gum? For a time during the Seventies, it was the chewing gum of choice in Central School District #4 on Long Island. The gum was discontinued in the early 1980s, perhaps due to the ascendance of jellybeans during the Reagan revolution. Now it’s back for a limited time, along with Adams Sour Cherry, Black Jack, and Beeman’s. It’s all part of a plan by candymaker Cadbury Adams to celebrate the 135th Anniversary of chewing gum (which Cadbury Adams itself says is actually next year).

Wacky Packages are back, too. But this time around, there’s no gum in the packs. Someone at Topps must have something against chews.
