Extra is the name of the second sugarfree gum launched by the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company in the United States (the first being Orbit in 1977). It was launched in 1984 and became one of the most popular brands of gum in the United States within a few years, known for long-lasting flavor. Other variants include lollipops and the "Liquid Blast" gum.
[edit] History
Extra was first launched by Wrigley in 1984. Back then, sugar free gum was still fairly new so Extra was one of the first brands to use sugar substitutes, giving it a longer taste duration. In 2007, Extra received the American Dental Association's Seal of Acceptance, proving that its gum helps to strenghthen teeth, fight cavities, and reduce the amount of acid wear. In 2008 Extra launched its Slim Pack, holding 15 sticks per pack. Extra sells to many countries around the world including Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Norway, and Taiwan.[1]
