William Wrigley Sr., the founder of Wrigley, was born on this date, September 30, in 1861. Let’s take a few moments to appreciate where we would be right now without the wonderful products from Wrigley: Doublemint, Big Red, Juicy Fruit, Winterfresh, Extra, Freedent, Orbit, Eclipse, Hubba Bubba, Big League Chew, Altoids, Life Savers, and Creme Savers – to name a few.
Candy Addict was started on October 2, two days after the birthday of William Wrigley Sr. – coincidence? I think so.
NOTE: Wrigley donated a BUNCH of candy/gum/mints to our giveaway. A BUNCH! So go enter!
