DESCRIPTION
Chowards Violet gum has a uniquely floral flavor and texture as the recipe hasn’t changed much since it first appeared in 1934. The pieces are much like the much-loved Chiclets, with a crisp sugar shell and a soft interior. Unlike other chewing gum, these are small, purple squares with a shiny surface. The gum itself has a strong initial flavor which becomes pleasantly mild as you chew. It tends to be a bit grainy – chalk that up to the early recipe and enjoy!

Historical Insights
Historical Insights
Choward’s Violet Gum has been a favorite since Charles Howard invented it in 1934. Cahrles Howard clearly applied his expertise as a perfume salesman to the test when he first invented the highly fragrant flavor. Charles Howard and his wife started making the gum in their New York City apartment, which they sold from a push-cart on the NYC streets. Rumor has it, they were used to cover the smell of alcohol on the breath. New York City cops carried them around in their pockets, a tasty treat while on the beat. In 1936, Howard added soft paste violet “mints” to his line-up. Still enjoyed in New York – and other places of good taste. Delightfully fragrant.
