If you’re a fan of nostalgic candy, you’re going to love Beemans Chewing Gum—a true blast from the past! Known for its smooth, slightly sweet flavour and soft chew, Beemans has been around since the late 19th century, making it one of the oldest chewing gums in the world. Now, thanks to YEG Exotic, you can enjoy this vintage favourite right here in Edmonton.
The History Behind Beemans Gum
Beemans Chewing Gum was originally invented by Dr. Edward E. Beeman in the 1890s. Fun fact—its first formula actually contained pepsin powder and was marketed as an aid for digestion! While the gum no longer contains pepsin, it has kept its smooth, mild, and slightly wintergreen flavour that generations have loved.
The gum has also gained fame in Hollywood—making appearances in movies like The Right Stuff and The Rocketeer, further cementing its status as a pop culture icon.
