It is the name of a candy that was traditional on the soccer fields of Buenos Aires (Argentina) during the last century. It was produced in an artisanal way by the street vendor Jorge Pastor, a very appreciated character in the city that became popular not only in sports stadiums but in any place with a lot of attendance such as recitals, religious pilgrimages or wakes such as Oscar Bonavena or Eva Duarte de Perón. The name of his candies are a deformation of the English chewing-gum and Chuenga ended up being the nickname of his seller. See misky, chiclets.
