469801 Sat Dec 15 16:40:48 -0800 2007 21 11 South 0 3211290 MIght be a strange request but I am trying to find Clark's Teaberry gum in the Triangle. I used to love it as a child and it always seemed to soothe my stomach when I had hangovers in college. I haven't had a piece for years and know that the Teaberry plant is native to the Mountains of NC and PA. Can anyone tell me where I could pick it up locally? Shipping online is more than the cost of the gum and you have to buy a large quantity. Problem is the gum becomes hard and brittle before I can go through a whole case (I already tried once)! Thanks in Advance! Sat Dec 15 16:40:48 -0800 2007 106853 aphayes 1 3212883 Wow, I completely forgot about Clarks gum....what a throwback. My one suggestion besides buying it online would be the Farmers Market in the building that is higher up. There is a vendor there that sells penny candy, including some older types. If he doesn't have it, it might be possible that a distributor he deals with might carry it. Have you seen Canadian Mints anywhere? They are the big round pink wintergreen flavored ones. I grew up in CT, and can't find them there anymore either. Kinda Nesco in texture. Good luck! Sun Dec 16 11:54:46 -0800 2007 3211290 94656 winedine 1 3213641 I want to say I've found this in World Market. I love this gum too and buy it locally. I think that's where I've found it. Sun Dec 16 17:23:20 -0800 2007 3211290 142758 eightlegeddj 2 3213689 Try the S&T soda shop in Pittsboro also the Citgo at the corner of US-64 and Mt Gilead Church Rd just east of Pittsboro, both have retro gums and candy. Sun Dec 16 17:41:49 -0800 2007 3213641 10614 blewgo 2 3217848 I third the suggestion of World Market, I think I've seen it there. Tue Dec 18 06:31:53 -0800 2007 3213641 21873 dubedo 3 3219838 Any idea what World Market? I went to the one in Cary today and the closest thing they had was that Fruit Striped gum with the Zebra on it... so not really close at all :( Tue Dec 18 14:46:54 -0800 2007 3217848 106853 aphayes 4 3219960 I thought it was the one in Cary, I don't recall going to any other World Market. Perhaps I found it someplace else. You all realize this is going to drive me crazy now. And, no, Fruit Stripe gum, will okay in it's own right, is just not an adequate substitute for Teaberry. Tue Dec 18 15:26:21 -0800 2007 3219838 142758 eightlegeddj 2 3220679 I was at the one by Triangle Town Center tonight. No sign of it & the fellow stocking shelves in the foods area had no idea what it was & had never seen it... Tue Dec 18 19:50:16 -0800 2007 3213641 111267 meatn3 1 3214857 Not the Triangle, but I believe Mast General Store carries it. They have locations in Asheville and the Boone area among others. Mon Dec 17 07:52:29 -0800 2007 3211290 10471 danna 2 3266672 Mast does have it, I was there this weekend. Sun Jan 06 09:55:08 -0800 2008 3214857 21873 dubedo 1 3215017 I recall finding it in World Market too. They also have the black Clark's gum. Blackjack is it? Mon Dec 17 08:39:41 -0800 2007 3211290 47569 VaNC 2 3222735 I was at World Market in Cary yesterday looking for stocking stuffers and remembered to look for Teaberry (I like it too!). I know I have seen it there in the past, but you are right they did not have it yesterday. I saw the Fruit Stripe too. I remember last christmas they had the Clarks gum at the check out in a rack. Wed Dec 19 12:37:22 -0800 2007 3215017 47569 VaNC 1 3216399 Cracker Barrel often has hard to find gums & candy. Mon Dec 17 15:14:09 -0800 2007 3211290 111267 meatn3 1 3220147 i would suggest Foster's and Parker and Otis, both in Durham. Tue Dec 18 16:36:26 -0800 2007 3211290 86634 pheebs 1 3265451 I was by the Cracker Barrel near Clayton today. While looking for the gum I asked the clerk nearby. It is her favorite, but they don't carry it. However she knew where it could be found: Howard's Mini Mart, 4222 Barber Mill Rd., Clayton, NC (919) 533-8010. I haven't been there, but she said she purchases it frequently. I'd call 1st!

Sun Jan 06 15:19:05 -0800 2008 3265451 33769 RaleighRocker 1 3269053 Hi AP! I about fell over when I saw your post. I LOVE Teaberry gum. I even used to chomp on real teaberries as a child in the NC mountains. BUT - you can get Teaberry gum at the gas station at 5 Points (not the BP station, but the other one across the street). (5 Points in Raleigh (where Whitaker Mill intersects with Glenwood if you don't know the neighborhood). Mon Jan 07 07:04:59 -0800 2008 3211290 101616 Tehama 2 3271931 That is really close to me! I am going tomorrow :) THANKS!!! Mon Jan 07 19:10:20 -0800 2008 3269053 106853 aphayes 1 4976770 If you are anywhere near Boone, you need to go out to the Mast General Store in Valle Crusis they carry all three of the clarks gums. Clove, Teaberry, and BlackJack. Tue Aug 25 12:49:56 -0700 2009 3211290 1104426 Jam4Fam 1 4983034 Try the Jack Daniel's gas station in Cary off of Jones Franklin, near where Western and Buck Jones meet up. They have a great penny candy section, and I've seen it there quite a few times. Oh my, I used to love teaberry, black jack, AND clove when I was a kid, but teaberry was my fave. www.trianglelocavore.wordpress.com Thu Aug 27 11:02:42 -0700 2009 3211290 88792 jazzy77 1 5096249 Wow, what a throwback, not to echo winedine, I haven't even thought about teaberry or blackjack since the sixties. I used to get in NJ back in the day, now who knows, and the clove gum! My dad used to chew blackjack. All I can say is not available in NYC. Sun Oct 11 21:41:25 -0700 2009 3211290 1095104 bushwickgirl 1 5096569 There is a new candy shop at North Hills called the Lollipop Shop. (If you're walking towards the Renaissance Hotel, it's on the left.) They have all the best penny candy, as well as a wide selection of Jelly Bellys and M&Ms. They had some of the retro gum by the check-out, although I didn't see Teaberry. I asked - and she indicated that they did stock it. Most all the candy is sold by weight, not by the piece. Mon Oct 12 06:42:26 -0700 2009 3211290 26699 cackalackie
