Image BeemansAd.jpg thumb 200px Fin de si cle Beeman s ad. Beemans gum originally Beeman s Gum, see image at right is a chewing gum invented by Ohio physician Dr. Edward E. Beeman in the late 19th century. History Beeman originally marketed the gum, which is made of pepsin powder and chicle , as an aid to digestion. It became a part of the American Chicle Company in 1898, and continued on after the purchase of American Chicle by Warner Lambert in 1962. Production ceased in 1978 due to lagging sales. In 1985, as part of a nostalgia campaign, it was brought back to the market along with Clove and Black Jack gum Black Jack chewing gums. The original wrapper had a pig logo , but was later replaced with a logo featuring the Beeman s name in scroll and a picture of Dr. Beeman. The current wrapper design has a white and red background with white and black lettering. Beemans is sporadically produced by Cadbury Adams as a nostalgia gum, along with the other historic gums Clove and Black Jack gum Black Jack . Since then, because of regular demand, all three brands have been introduced with huge popularity. The gum was prominently featured in the movies The Right Stuff film The Right Stuff , Hot Shots , and The Rocketeer film The Rocketeer . While it has been considered the lucky gum of pilots, Beemans in fact became popular with aviators due to the antacid qualities of pepsin, useful due to the agitation of stomach acid in flight. This, combined with the ear pressure equalizing characteristics of chewing any type of gum, made Beemans a common sight in cockpits. The sporadic availability has led some aviators to buy it by the carton whenever possible.

In North America , spruce gum botany gum was chewed by Indigenous peoples of the Americas Native Americans , and was later introduced to the early American pioneers and was sold commercially by the 19th century, by John B. Curtis amongst others. In the 20th century, commercial spruce tree processing turned to paper manufacturing to meet demand from the newspaper industry, thereby reducing the availability of spruce for other purposes, including spruce gum. Today, it is available in small batches made at home rather than commercially. It is often flavored with mint or fruit.
