Pop open a pack and you get five sticks of the retro classic, with a bright, cool snap of mint that tastes like a trip to an old-fashioned soda counter. It’s the kind of gum that makes you sit up a little straighter, and it’s back for anyone who has been wondering whether the original still tastes the way they remember.

Beeman’s was invented by Ohio physician Dr. Edward E. Beeman in the late 19th century, and it was sold as a digestive aid as much as a treat. That makes it one of the few candies with a medical excuse that somehow stuck around for its flavor alone. Generations later, it’s still going strong, proof that a good doctor’s recommendation can outlive the prescription.
