chiclets
  27

It is a brand of chewing gum originally produced in the US by Thomas Adams Jr. at the end of the nineteenth century with the name of Adams New York Gum, although by 1899 it was already marketed with the Chiclets brand, which exists until today. The name is taken from the Nahuatl tzictli, which is what they called the Sapota Zapotilla tree from where the resin was extracted for its manufacture, until in the mid-twentieth century it was already produced synthetically. For the brand the pronunciation "chicle" was used together with the imperative let. See chuenga .
