Like the gum Chiclets?
Exactly like that. Idk if it’s still the same, but a couple decades ago I went to a chiclet farm kinda deal in Mexico, and got to try the (cleaned) raw tree gum. Its pretty much a chiclet straight out of the tree, it just doesn’t have much flavor until after processing.
I didn’t realize Guatemala was such an integral part of Chiclet originally. I wonder if William Wrigley Corp lobbied the government for what became the 1954 coup like United Fruit did.
