Dentyne

Dentyne is a brand of chewing gum first introduced in 1899 by Franklin V. Canning in New York City. Its name is derived from "dental hygiene," reflecting Canning's initial marketing strategy emphasizing the gum's supposed oral health benefits. Dentyne is characterized by its distinctive cinnamon flavor, although other flavors have been introduced throughout its history.

Originally sold as a medicinal gum to promote clean teeth and fresh breath, Dentyne quickly became a popular confection. Ownership of the brand has changed hands several times, eventually becoming part of the Cadbury Adams portfolio and later Mondelēz International.

Dentyne is widely available in various forms, including stick packs and gum pellets. Over the years, the brand has leveraged various advertising campaigns to maintain its market presence and adapt to evolving consumer preferences. While still available, Dentyne's market share has fluctuated in the competitive chewing gum market. The classic red packaging associated with the cinnamon flavor remains a recognizable symbol for the brand.
