Say what you want about chewing gum: It's cheaper than therapy.
Mars Wrigley is moving away from promoting its chewing gum products as breath deodorizers, and leaning in to a new selling point: stress relief for the young.
For over a century, gum has been synonymous with freshening breath, the company reasons. But now, Mars Wrigley is rebranding its product in "the biggest consumer engagement operations" in its history, it said.
"We found that people, particularly (25 and under), were intuitively integrating our chewing gum into their wider toolkit of well-being solutions," the company said in an e-mail. "And that they were chewing gum to support their emotional needs."
We wonder what the nation's dentists will say.
