Wrigleys "5" Gum Will Make You All Tingly
This summer we'll all be able to say "ooh that makes my mouth tingle." At least we will if we have a piece of Wrigleys new gum "5" (yep, that's the name, no letters, just the number 5). The gum claims to have longer-lasting flavor and "sensations you can feel as you chew."

Cadbury Chocolate Sales Soar in Recession
It's commonly thought that people turn to chocolate when times are stressful, and now the candy industry has proof that this is true.
As the recession has sunk deeper, consumers have turned to chocolate for consolation: Confectionery giant Cadbury has reported a 30 percent increase in its annual profits. According to Todd Stitzer, the company's CEO, the industry has benefited from the fact that more people have been eschewing going out in favor of spending more time at home.

We all know Wrigley's makes gum and Tiffany sells jewelry, but those brands didn't get going by selling their signature products.
