RE: Stuff I Got For Christmas 2017 - Thrills Gum (It Tastes Like Soap)

in #nostalgia7 years ago

Thrills gum used to be made by the O-Pee-Chee company of London, Ontario, Canada. About 10 miles from where I used to live. The smell coming from the factory was awesome! O-Pee-Chee was bought by Nestle in the 1980's. It has always been that purple gum that tastes like soap. That flavouring comes with the addition of rosewater. They used to allow tours of the factory and people got to smell and taste the rosewater. I did not it had moved to Spain. A loss for Canada!

Sort:  

I was shocked to see Spain on the packaging. Imported by "Tootsie Roll of Canada". Odd.

That is weird...
