Chicklets? Don't know why, but they just jumped into my head. Haven't seen them in years.
P.S. Iona related, Chicklets was a nick-name for former Iona coach, Jim McDermott.

And while we're at it, how about Smith Brothers cough drops?
P.S. Iona connection is obvious.

Per the Old Time Candy site, looks like they're history. "CHICLETS GUM
We are sad to announce that the manufacturer has discontinued Chiclets and our stock is gone. We are disappointed too. Please consider Chicle Chews as a replacement."You can look up candy on this site in various ways, including by decade... www.oldtimecandy.com/ |

Right you are about McDermott. My mother's second husband was the VP of engineering at the factory in Long Island City that made Chiclets. They were made in a rotating tub where a fine spray of sugar accumulated on the gum.
