Nostalgic Gum > Clark's Tendermint Gum
Tendermint Chewing Gum
This is gum the way you remember it - an initial sweet, flavor burst followed by a mild peppermint flavored chewing experience. The flavor is actually very long lasting - it is the super sweet part that is not the same as the modern, "chemicalized" gums. This is the kind of gum that you chewed for hours and placed in the "gum saver" on your nightstand at bed-time to stretch your hard-earned allowance money. It should be noted that this is also not the moist, almost sticky soft modern gum. This is old-fashioned stick gum and can actually be brittle when cold. It still is fresh and chews great. We only have a limited supply and when it is gone, like so many other things, it will probably slip into history. About the label - Back in the early 1920s, the company used a carpenter's level as the background image for the chewing gum flavor and underneath, the slogan, "Its On The Level." This appeared on packs of both the Teaberry and Tendermint. As time advanced, the image was slowly "modernized". The carpenter's level steadily became simplified, losing the wood grain and detail until only a bar remains. The slogan was eventually dropped altogether.

We
have been informed by Clark that this is likely the last batch of
Tendermint Gum. They just don't feel that it is popular enough to
justify production.
