When William Wrigley Jr. moved to Chicago, he started selling soap and baking soda and decided one day to throw in a free pack of chewing gum with customers' orders.
Just a few months before Wrigley's Spearmint was introduced in 1893, Juicy Fruit was released. To this day, over 100 years later, it remains the number one fruit brand in the U.S. and the most popular choice among kids.
