Chiclets are a brand of candy-coated chewing gum made by Cadbury Adams. The colors of chiclets are: yellow, green, orange, red, white, purple, pink and blue. The product's name is derived from Nahuatl word tziktli, in Spanish chicle, the substance from which chewing gum was traditionally made and still is that way. The original flavor was peppermint but many flavors have been added and discontinued over the decades since the introduction. Assorted fruit flavor is still available in Algeria, Colombia, Argentina, Egypt, Canada, India, Lebanon, Mexico, Venezuela, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Dominican Republic, United Kingdom and parts of the Americas like Guatemala but not anymore in most places.
In Latin America, and Thailand, traditional Chiclets are produced, but the brand has been extended to include various formats like bubble gum and stick gum.
Various people have been credited as the inventor of Chiclets including: brothers Robert Fleer and Frank Fleer, and Louis Mahle.
Promotional 2 pieces packs were distributed at gas stations during 20th century sixties until eighties.

Last night I awoke up from a dream came face to face with my face facing the
Tombstone teeth of a man called chiklets he came down through the ages with
The desperate beauty of a middleweight boxer came beating the force field
With elegant grace trying to get a perfect grip there was no absolute grip
He was in a sail boat a glass bottom boat the bottom of a boat he was coming
Down through the ages sea molten sea spilling down the tube the spiny eye of
The village the spinal eye of the victim the spiny eye like a question mark
Hovering over him what do you want what do you want from him down on a dream
Too much unexplained what do you think do you think there was an actual
Connection I can't imagine a connection going down there I can't imagine any
Connection at all a boxing ring with gold ropes soft desperate karat top
