Black Jack gum is actually the oldest flavored gum in the United States! It was originally developed in 1884 by Thomas Adams of Staten Island, New York, and was the first gum to be sold in stick shape. Adams' is also the maker of Chiclets, and was acquired by Cadbury Company in 2003.

Black Jack is a great gum. It has a nice smooth licorice flavor that is quite smooth and sweet, and never harsh, unlike some other licorice candies. Chewing Black Jack gum is like experiencing licorice for the first time, all over again!

When I was young, a local drug store carried a wide range of candies, including Black Jack gum. Whenever I could I would go and buy a pack, and to this day the Black Jack taste takes me back to my youth and that drug store with the giant racks of candy.

So, if you want a great gum that tastes like no other gum out there, then buy Black Jack gum. It's fantastic!

ITS RETRO ITS BLACK JACK GUM WHAT MORE CAN YOU SAY....IF YOU LOVE LICORCE CHECK IT OUT
PLUS IT MAY SOUND EXPENSIVE BUT ITS LIKE 1.00 A PACK. NO GUM IS A DOLLAR ANYMORE LOL

Loved this gum. It was slightly, slightly stale when I got it, but still delicious. I still have some left (purchased it like a year ago or so) and its pretty stale now, but again, still flavorful. Love this gum, love this flavour, wish they made more of it more often, and that it was easier to get.

If you like black licorice, get this gum for sure. Makes a good gift too (if the person likes licorice and/or is nostalgic)

The only and best place I found to get this old timey product. I send a case at a time to my son in law while he is deployed. Love it

Product was fresh, well packaged and was s taste of the "good old days". Longest lasting flavor of any gum I have ever experienced. I am hooked!

Gave away packages of Black Jack gum for our 50th wedding anniversary. This little gift was well apppreciated by the old timers.

A while back somebody sent me an e-mail quiz which asked which of the following products, names, fads, etc you remember from when you were a teen in the 50s. That person said that they remembered everything but Black Jack chewing gum. I did remember it and wondering what happened to it I put a search on the internet and to my surprise found that it was still around and available for sale.
So I ordered it from Candy Crate and it came very quickly which impressed me. I now have the pleasure of handing out packs of Black Jack gum to amaze all those of my age group. Love the expression on their faces.

Fast shipping, excellent product. My mother in law loves licorice and was so thrilled with this piece of her past that she wouldn't even share.

EVERY candy I have reviewed has been given 5 stars. I think that shows how greatly the value of sweetness is appreciated in this world!

I love Black Jack gum -- I never ate it when I was a kid-- I was too busy acquiring and devouring Chiclets and Clark Bars and Sen Sen and Sky Bars -- but once I tried Black Jack as a 13 year old going on 40, I tried it and LOVED it.

The wonderful taste is unusual, memorable, deep, lasting and luxurious. It doesn't die on you like some gums do.

AND -- if you put at least 2 sticks of this marvelous black gum in your mouth and chew them thoughtfully, you can WRAP THEM AROUND your front teeth and then smile at people - watch them laugh -- LOL!!!

After chewing quite a few packs and giving away even more to friends,I noticed that the expiration date was July 31, 2010.... that is coming up on one year past expiration. (today is July 3, 2011)

Despite the fact that the gum tastes fine, I can't leave a good review because of the lack of concern on the part of the Seller.

Black Jack gum is good, Selling expired products is not.
