- Why can't I find my favorite Wrigley product on store shelves?
We always want to offer our consumers the best variety of brands and flavors. Unfortunately we have to occasionally discontinue products if they are not selling well enough to continue production. We listen to all consumer comments and are always happy to tell our internal teams when a product is being missed.
- Can I buy products directly from you?
Our products are available for sale on other websites, such as Amazon.com.
- Can I get samples of your products?
We receive so many sample requests per day that we couldn't possibly keep up. Whenever we do launch a new product or flavor you will likely find samplers at events in cities near you that will be happy to let you try our latest creations.
- Can I get a coupon for your products?
Unfortunately we do not have any coupons we can send for you to try products. Your local retailer fliers and the Sunday paper are great places to check for cents off coupons or offers on Wrigley products.
- Are your products Kosher?
While the products we sell in the U.S. are not currently certified kosher, we take great strides to ensure products are kosher and kosher certified in geographies with dietary restrictions. For example, all Wrigley products sold in Israel are kosher certified.
- Is it OK for my dog to chew/eat sugarfree gum?
Some of our chewing gums contain xylitol, which is a safe, even beneficial, additive which has been used in food, confectionery and other products - like toothpaste - as a sweetener and flavor enhancer for over 30 years and has been widely approved by regulatory authorities all over the world.
Although chewing gum products are not intended for use by dogs, cats or other pets, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has reported that xylitol may be toxic for dogs.
In fact, in addition to food products containing xylitol, the AVMA recommends that many foods that are perfectly safe for humans be kept away from pets because of potential harm - including coffee grounds, grapes/raisins, chocolate, onions, yeast, dough, tea, macadamia nuts, alcohol, fatty foods, salt, avocadoes and garlic. For more information, please go to avma.org.
- What is the white powder found on sticks of gum?
All Wrigley gums are brushed with a rolling powder before they are placed in their foil wrappers that keep them fresh. On our sugar sweetened brands a granulated sugar, which looks like confectionary sugar, is used. On Sugarfree gums a dusting of sugar substitute is used. The amount of rolling powder varies from product to product.
- Where can I find nutritional information for my product?
All nutritional facts are listed on pack or packaging for our products. You may visit the
Nutrition Information section of our website for a complete U.S. product listing. Our consumer representatives at 1-800-WRIGLEY are also happy to answer your nutritional questions regarding North American products.
For information on Wrigley products in other countries, please visit one of our local country sites or use our
contact form.
Ingredients and formulations do change from time to time. The best source of information is the ingredient line and nutritional facts found on each product.
- What is the shelf life of Wrigley products?
Although the shelf life varies from product to product we suggest the following list be used as a guideline for your products:
Altoids® mints - 12 months
Altoids® gum - 9 months
Creme Savers® - 11 months
Stick and tab style gum - 9-10 months
Pellet gum - 12 months
Hubba Bubba® gums - 12 months
Life Savers® - 10 months
- What is the sugar content of your gums?
Our sugar sweetened brands - like Doublemint®, Wrigley's Spearmint® and Juicy Fruit® - contain about a half teaspoon of sugar.
- How would I remove gum from my clothing?
For washable clothes, you might first try scraping off any excess gum with a dull knife and then rubbing the area with ice until the remaining gum rolls off into a ball. Another method is to seal the dry garment in a plastic bag and place it in your freezer. After the garment is frozen, remove and gently scrape off the gum with a dull knife.
There are also natural solvents extracted from citrus peels which are environmentally safe and work quite well in removing chewing gum from various surfaces, including cloth. As a matter of policy, we don't give out specific brands names, but you can find these citrus-based solvents in food and drugstores, as well as health food stores.
While there are no "guaranteed methods" for gum removal, please check the International Chewing Gum Association at
www.gumassociation.org for more information. They offer gum removal tips in their "Frequently Asked Questions" section. You may also contact them at:

- My variety bag has more of one product than the other. What happened?
We do our best to ensure that each variety bag of Wrigley products contains an even distribution to give consumers a variety of each product or flavor. From time to time the automatic machinery used to package products can fill more of one flavor.
- How do I read the date coding on your product?
Most of our products contain a date code that follows the format
DDMMYY
DAY MONTH YEAR
For example, a product with the date code L300509 014 will expire on the 30th of May 2009. Any other letters or numbers surrounding the code provide us with more information on where and when the product was made.
