Fun Fact: Wrigley’s Never Intended To Be a Giant in the Gum Industry

Fun facts about Wrigley's chewing gum

The chewing gum company Wrigley’s originally intended to sell soap. They added baking powder as a thank you for people who bought their soap. The baking powder became more popular than the soap, so they sold the baking powder instead and added gum as a thank you. Once again, the extra product became more popular then the original item.
