Teaberry Gum memories... I remember
going to the Doctor, in a large medical building with my mother. As
some we would go through the door, I would see the candy display in
the coffee shop. I would beg my mother for Teaberry gum and usually
she would buy me a pack. I would chew and smell the gum while waiting
in the Doctors office waiting room.
Seeing the gum on your website brought
back the memory. I can see the medical building and the coffee shop,
with the turquoise stools and I can even smell the antiseptic smell of
the Doctors Office. I remember the taste of the gum and this little
bit of my childhood. ~ Linda from New York
My mother used to keep packs of Teaberry Gum in her purse in the early 1970's. I used to beg
her for a piece and would always dig at the bottom of her purse to grab the last piece before my brothers scarfed them down. I didn't care
that the gum was usually entwined with either a snotty Kleenex or tobacco from her non-filtered Camel cigarettes, I had to have a piece of
Teaberry gum!
My mother is gone now and I can honestly say that Teaberry Gum is something that will always make me smile and remind me of her and of my
childhood in Hamilton, Ohio. ~ Lily from Illinois
My fondest memory of Teaberry Gum was watching TV one day and viewing a funny commercial
with this street cop and others doing a very funny dance to a very catchy jingle. Several days later I heard the same song on my AM
transistor radio and the DJ announced that it was the "Mexican Shuffle" by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. In the commercial, it was dubbed
the "Teaberry Shuffle" and afterwards, I was hooked on Teaberry Gum AND Herb Alpert. The memory is as fresh today as it was 40 years ago. ~

When I was a young boy, we
lived in front of a bog, and took long walks around it as a family.
On our walks we would stop to pick berries, blueberries,
blackberries, and these small red berries that Mom called
'checkerberries.' These 'checkerberries' had a very unique taste, or
so I thought. I was given a stick of Teaberry gum by a friend, and
immediately recognized the flavor - checkerberries. Now every time I
see Teaberry gum, I have to grab a pack. It brings me back to those
childhood walks, and the flavor of checkerberries. ~ Mikki from
Mass.
