I just realized that Beechnut Peppermint gum and Beeman's Pepsin Gum were two different products. Beechnut Peppermint gave Wrigley's Spearmint and Doublemint a good run for the money, and Beeman's had a really unique but pleasant flavor.

Beechnut Spearmint Gum sponsored the Dick Clark Show, seen on Saturday nights in 1958 and '59. When I was 12 or 13, I hated when my parents would take us out to dinner and I had to miss the show. The slogan was that Beechnut Spearmint Gum was "flavorific," and all the kids in the audience were shown wearing buttons that said, "ific."
Those "Bandstand" kids set the standard for "cool" lol. They also invented their own way of clapping in rhythm to the songs. It's all on YT.
