Chiclets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chiclets are a brand of candy coated chewing gum made by Cadbury Adams. The product's name is derived from the Spanish word chicle (chewing gum) derived from (Nahuatl tziktli), the substance from which chewing gum was traditionally made. The original flavor was peppermint but many flavors have been added and discontinued over the decades since the introduction in 1906. Assorted fruit flavor is still available in Argentina, Canada, Mexico and U.S.
In some countries, like Belgium and Turkey, the term 'Chiclet' or 'Chic' is often used to refer to any brand and/or type of chewing gum.
The gum is no longer widely popular but available for sale in Canada and Singapore.
The Chiclet term has been co-opted in technology to describe a type of rubber keyboard resembling the size, look, or feel of a Chiclet.
