Chew on Wrigley's Latest Gum Flavors
It's next to impossible for me to wait in line at the supermarket and not pick up a pack of gum in some limited-edition novelty flavor. That's why I was beside myself when I received a shipment of what might have been a lifetime supply of Wrigley chewing gum in a slew of new flavors. A sore jaw and many packs later, I've discovered a new favorite flavor.

The deal will create the world's largest confectionary company, and could possibly force Hershey's and Cadbury to join forces — there's been previous rumors of these two combining in the past.
Wrigley to Consumers: We're Getting a Facelift! New Flavors, Too!
Call me old-fashioned, but I enjoy the little five-stick packs of gum. They're small and easy to carry, and apparently, on their way out. Yep, they're going the way of the dinosaur thanks to a new move by the Wrigley company.
