Cadbury Adams

Cadbury Adams USA has it all wrapped up -- in thin little rectangles wrapped in foil. The US division of British candy giant Cadbury makes candy, chewing gum, and mints. Its brands include Bubblicious, Certs, Chiclets, Dentyne, HALLS, Sour Patch, Swedish Fish, and Trident. The company also makes retro gum brands Beeman's, Blackjack, and Clove, which it reintroduces every few years. Cadbury Adams USA was formed after then Cadbury Schweppes bought the Adams chewing gum brands from Pfizer for $4.2 billion in 2003 and integrated it into its already existing US operations. (Cadbury Schweppes spun-off its beverage operations to focus solely on candy in 2008.)
