Dear Akbar,
Thank you for contacting us about animal ingredients and our products.To answer to your question, the vast majority of Wrigley products soldin the U.S. are free from ingredients of animal origin, including egg anddairy products. At present, the only chewing gum exceptions are Extra®Polar Ice stick gum and Juicy Fruit® pellet gums. Extra® Polar Ice gumand Orbit® Crystal Mint contain tiny flavor beads encased in a microscopiclayer of gelatin, which is animal based. We have requested the developmentof a gelatin-free flavor bead that is currently being worked on by oursupplier.

Juicy Fruit Grapermelon and Strappleberrygums use
shellac as a coating agent. Thedifferent varieties of our ALTOIDS mints do contain very small quantities of gelatinwhich is derived from pork .Gelatin does not impart any flavor to ALTOIDS, but it's a necessary ingredientfor the texture of the mint. When we use gelatin it is thoroughly purifiedand dried during its manufacturing process. Our staff is continually lookingat alternatives to animal gelatin, but at the moment we've not been ableto find a substitute that produces the same quality you've come to lovewith ALTOIDS.
Our LifeSaver gummies do containsmall quantities of gelatin, which is also derived from pork. It followsthe same drying and purifying process as with the
Altoids. If your diet does not allow you to consume animal byproducts suchas dairy, our CremeSaver line does contain cream, which is a dairy byproductOn the same note, our LifeSaver Fusions and LifeSaver gummies are producedon the same line as our
CremeSavers, so there is a chanceof cross contamination. Our CremeSaver soft chews also contain a smallamount of gelatin, which is pork based. We hope this information has beenhelpful and thanks again for contacting the Wrigley Company.
Sincerely,
Ryné King

one very interesting story

While walking down the street one day a Malaysian Boleh Minister is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the man.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."

"Really, I have made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Yang Berhormat

"I'm sorry, but we have our rules," says St. Peter. And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and dressed in the finest batik there is. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then indulge themselves on lobsters, caviar and the most expensive food there is. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises. The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. "Now it' s time to visit heaven." So, 24 hours pass with the Yang Berhormat joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St.Peter returns.

"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity."

The Yang Berhormat reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think Ai yam better off in hell."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder.

"I don't understand," stammers the Yang Berhormat. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning."

"Today you voted."

VOTE WISELY. CHOOSE HEAVEN OR HELL IN THE COMING ELECTIONS
