Nostalgia: Beeman's, Black Jack and Clove

I love these old fashioned chewing gums.

Beemans, Black Jack and Clove Gum Sold at Cutsie Cakes in Layton Utah


Beeman’s, Black Jack and Clove chewing gum to be exact.

I’m not sure if it is because Cliff Secord, the hansom hero of The Rocketeer loved it too or because my mom bought me countless sticks of Beeman’s at my swimming lessons in the 80s.

Either way, I love their flavor and the nostalgia that comes with it.

I buy them whenever I see them. And don’t you just love their packaging. So simple and colorful. My favorite changes yearly…it’s currently Clove.

I recently found them at Cutsie Cakes, a cupcake bakery and boutique in Layton, Utah. Cutsie Cakes itself is full of nostalgia. You can most likely find any treat you enjoyed as a kid. And they do have some pretty cute cupcakes if I do say so myself.

Are you a fan of these old-fashioned chewing gums?
