Beemans gum

[2] Beeman originally claimed the gum contained pepsin powder that would improve digestion.

In 2019, Gerrit J. Verburg, one of America's largest candy importers, purchased the exclusive rights and resumed production.

The gum is sold sporadically in the United States by the Gerrit J. Verburg Co.[3][4] The "lucky" gum of pilots is a superstition perhaps based in the original product's unsubstantiated claim of preventing seasickness, but applied to flight airsickness.

[5] The original medical claim that the chewing gum "cures indigestion and sea-sickness" was never substantiated and would not be permitted today by food and drug regulations dating to the 1930s.

The gum is prominently featured in major movies The Right Stuff, Hot Shots!, The Rocketeer (in which the gum serves a key plot element), and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, used in the latter for character Mutt Williams (Shia Labeouf) in Indy home scene.
