Umm, no, I don't think I ever ran across Teaberry. Maybe it's a 
regional product. I do remember Fruit Stripe gum. I have a shirt that 
looks just like a stick of the lime flavor.


Dipping into the candy bowl again:

**That's it!** Crown or King's was the parent brand, clove was the 
taste. (Knew there was some reason that gum tasted richer and spicier 
than Dentyne....) What confused me was the ace of clubs insignia both 
flavors had on the package. I never could remember the real name for 
the clove gum, only that it was the red version of Black jack. We 
used to call it "Redjack."

Mmmmmmmm, cloves.  The scent of autumn.
