I've never heard of anything like that. But when was a kid 75 years ago we had all kinds of chewing gum flavors that never got past the old days -- teaberry, wintergreen, Black Jack licorice-flavored, Beechnut. but best of all to me was the cinnamon-flavor tangy Dentyne.n We still have the Juicy-Fruit (that was intoduced after the War?), and of cous Wrigley's Spearmint.
And also we had the little heart-shated cinnamon candies that my Mom flavored her app;e and cherry pies with, Days long gone by, but not yet forgotten.
