Black Jack Chewing Gum, 5 Sticks, 20 Count

I do not think these are the original Black Jacks but it's better than nothing. The packaging seems smaller, the sticks are brittle, and the flavor doesn't last so long. On the other side of the coin, there was a time long ago when a stick would last an entire 9 inning ball game. The times are sure changing.

I would not purchase gum at this ridiculous price except to bring a nostalgic smile on the face of someone special. How embarrassing! Old, stale, dry, hardly any flavor and certainly not anywhere near the original taste or texture. Love that it is non-refundable. Throwing out.

Thought to take a star off because it's made in China and the packaging is pretty shabby. It bursts a strong licorice flavor and chews forever... I ball it up and save it to re-chew later as the texture is superior and very unique. The flavor goes down to quite mellow, which I actually prefer and lasts pretty much indefinitely. If you're not freaked out by re-chewing, you get a totally unique experience. I love licorice candies and this satisfies that taste without all the sugar. This was originally made in America and one of the nostalgia series that Beechnut Gum or Wrigley's would re-issue a couple of times a year included with Pepsin, Clove and maybe one other apparently China picked up the patents or rights. Too bad, but still my best ever chew for my peculiar approach and enjoyment.

I love the flavor of this gum. They are sturdy only complaint I have is that it doesn’t last as long as other flavors of gum. It definitely gives your jaws a workout. It is often very stiff and cracks as your putting it in your mouth. Not very pliable.

I actually purchased this for my mom who LOVES licorice and remembers chewing this one! She is now 90 and still has the package unopened, but I know she will love it once she finishes her other flavors! Very nostaglic, that's the whole point, isn't it? These 50's gums don't keep their flavor like today's, but it's about remembering a time.

it wasn't what I expected. The gum was very hard to chew. flavor was okay.

In my humble opinion, this is perhaps the worst gum I have ever had. I bought it for my granddaughter, and thought I would try it before giving it to her. I am so glad I did. If you are expecting this gum to taste like the Black Jack of old you will be terribly disappointed. It doesn't even come close. One might expect not to get the original taste and can accept that as long as it come close. However, I can't even describe any flavor that is similar to this trash. Adding insult to injury, the texture is like cardboard that breaks up into small pieces that you have to let soften in your mouth before you can even chew it. It has no resemblance to chewing gum, and seems like you are chewing on a pencil eraser. I couldn't chew it for more than 20 seconds because it was making me gag. Best of luck if you done heed my warning.

Chews like gum from baseball card packs. Wads great too.
