Description
This gum came in colorful packages the size of the common Wriglys pack of gum. Flavors included Cherry, Orange, Apple, and others. This gum would make your mouth water like crazy. I was in Mexico 18 years ago and saw that they still produce the product. They added a flavor, "Mango" - not all that great.

My favourite was the Sour Wildberry, closely followed by the Sour Strawberry and Sour Cherry. They weren't nearly as sour as today's "Sour" gum and candy; just tangy enough to make your mouth water a bit for a couple of minutes. Then they'd mellow to a nice sweetness. Adams re-issued the Sour Cherry (yummy) and Sour Apple (definitely NOT yummy to me) for a very limited time in 2006. It also re-issued Clove, Black Jack, and Beeman's, also on a limited-time basis. Every few years, Adams does a limited-time re-issue of these "heritage" gums. I just hope that they'll re-issue the Sour Wildberry and Sour Strawberry ones next.

The Adam's sour gum and Clove gum were some of my favorites as a child. I always felt like I missed something never having the opportunity to try the sour pineapple. It would be great if they release all the sour flavors again and based on sales decide to keep a couple around for good.
