Probably the gov't banned flavored gum in the 1940s... just like they're banning flavored vape juice and chewing tobacco these days.

Yep. There used to be ice cream gum too. It came in chocolate, vannila and strawberry.

I'm sure there are plenty for kids.
My guess is that adults chew gum to freshen breath - so it's better to sell minty/cold ice frost/whatever flavors are.

If there's one place in the world that would have a certain candy, it's certainly Japan. They LOVE their sweets. There's a candy or bakery shop on every dang corner, lol.

This this reminds me of a traumatic event I had as a child. My mom gave me 25 cents to buy gum, I was probably about 4 and was making my first solo purchase. I didn't know what to get so I asked the guy at the counter what kind of gum i should get. He told me the best gum was Black Jack gum.
So I bought it and then went back to chew it and it tastes like ass. I was pissed and wanted to return it but my mom wouldn't let me. I never trusted someone trying to sell me something ever again and still hold a grudge against that pudgy mustached man.
