DentyneŽ Chewing Gum History
Dentyne Gum has been around since 1899, when a New York City druggist named Franklin V. Canning formulated a chewing gum which he promoted as an aid to oral hygiene. "To prevent decay, To sweeten the breath, To keep teeth white," read the package. Mr. Canning called his new gum Dentyne which is a combination of the words "dental" and "hygiene." Like many gum brands, ownership and packaging changes over time. The package above is from the early 20th century after the brand was sold to the American Chicle Company. This purchase occurred in 1916. By the 1930s, Dentyne was produced by the Adams Gum Company. Adams was one of the companies that made up the American Chicle Company. Eventually ownership passed to Warner-Lambert Company which merged into Pfizer Inc. in 2000, and most recently to Cadbury Schweppes in 2002.
