No More Tin Foil in Wrigley's Juicy Fruit Chewing Gum for the War Effort


From the November 14, 2018, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1918, 100 Years Ago.

"To help meet the needs of the government, Wrigley's will discontinue the use of tin foil as a wrapping of Juicy Fruit chewing gum, in order to release valuable material to Uncle Sam.

"Hundreds of thousands of pounds per week of tin foil will thus be made available to the government, it is said.    Juicy Fruit  will hereafter appear in the hermetically sealed pink wrapper same as Spearmint.  Doublemint will also be wrapped in waxed pink paper, instead of green."
