Teaberry is a regional name for wintergreen (also known as Canada tea, which may explain the name of Canada mints which are also wintergreen flavored). The D.L. Clark Company used to be a rather large & diverse candy manufacturer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania which made both candy bars and gums starting in 1886. At one point the company was making 150 different kinds of confections. In 1921 the gum side of the business (which was made in a separate factory anyway) was spun off into its own company: Clark Brothers Chewing Gum Company (later shortened to Clark Gum Company). They were best known for two flavors: Teaberry and Tendermint. Though Tendermint is no longer produced, Teaberry is still available. |

Wintergreen is one of three flavours combined to yield the "classic" pink bubble gum flavour. The other two are cassia and vanilla. -- http://pages.videotron.com/duffym/index.htm |

Arrow versus banner. I wonder how it would play out in court http://www.wrigley.com/global/brands/spearmint.aspx Different, but there seems to be an influence. |

I don't think it was ever available in the US and American friends used to stock up on it when visiting. |

The other two are cassia and vanilla. Wintergreen is/was also used in root beer. Some years ago I spent a lot of time searching for 'authentic' root beer recipes... what a minefield that turned out to be, I don't think I saw any two 'authentic' recipes that were the same :) In the end, I finally found an extract with the right kind of ingredients (not easy, due to the 'toxic' ingredients) and brewed from that. Came out wonderful, perfect. I still have half a bottle of that extract, I should make some more soon. |

Still, solid point. It's darned close. |

That's a point - 'wintergreen' is a name used for many different plants, so care is required with that. >Therefore, to me, root beer is vile!! Not me, I love a /good/ root beer, or Sarsaparilla, as it is better known in Australia. Oh, and a decent ginger beer too. That said, I don't like any sodas at all (I wouldn't class a root or ginger beer as a soda myself). |

I've always loved Teaberry gum and never realized it was a Clark product. I grew up a few houses away from the Clark family. They were a very private family. When Three Rivers Stadium was still in business we used to park outside the ballpark and walk several blocks to the ball field. Part of that walk was past the Clark Candy Co. It was always great fun to smell the product of the day - either Clark bars or Zagnut bars. -- DreadfulBitch I'm not a complete idiot. Some parts are missing. |
