Chiclets gum brings 90s children back to those enchanted Halloween evenings right away. More than just sweets, these small, candy-coated bits of gum were money in the convoluted trade system of post-trick-or-treating discussions. Halloween success peaked in the unique white package with its rainbow-colored contents. Chiclets were unique not only in taste but also in the whole experience, from the delightful box rattle to the way the candy covering would crumble to expose the gum inside. Chiclets signals the end of an era and leaves a vacuum in the sweets scene that alternatives just cannot fill. For those who grew up in the 1990s, these were little bits of bliss that embodied the freedom and delight of youth, not simply gum. Their absence gives our longing a mixed dimension that makes those Halloween memories much more valuable. Often the nicest things in life are fleeting, leaving only beautiful memories and tales to tell.
