What Is Chiclet-Style Gum?

Canel's Chewing Gum is a chiclet-style gum, but what does chiclet-style mean? Chewing gum brands made with the chiclet styling come in small, square pieces. The name of the chiclet comes from the Spanish word, "chicle," which means "chewing gum." 

Chicle is a natural gum derived from a variety of Mesoamerican trees and turned into chewing gum brands like Canel's Chewing Gum. Zig-zag gashes are made into the chicle-containing trees, which then produce a dripping gum that is collected in small bags. The gum is boiled until it reaches the optimal thickness and is then made into some of the best chewing gums around the world. Both the Aztec and Mayan cultures traditionally chewed chicle gum as a way to freshen their breath, stave off hunger and as a means to keep their teeth clean. The Maya also used chicle as a tooth filling for dental cavities.
