Hey friend,

How do you pronounce "chicle"?

⬜ Chic-ul

⬜ Chic-lay

⬜ I've been avoiding saying it out loud entirely

Good news:

You're probably right either way.

In English, most people say "chic-ul."

In Spanish, it's "chic-lay."

Here at Nathan & Sons, we use the American English pronunciation.

What actually is chicle?

It's a natural tree sap harvested from the sapodilla tree. 

For generations, people in Central America and Mexico have collected, cooked, and chewed this natural latex as gum.

Long before gum became a synthetic blob of plastic and artificial flavoring, there was chicle. 

Real gum.

From real trees.

That's one of the reasons we use chicle alongside mastic and spruce resin.

Because if we're going to make gum, we'd rather start with ingredients that actually have a history.

P.S. Hit reply and tell us where you land:

Chic-ul?

Or chic-lay?

The office is surprisingly divided on this.
