Wrigley's Extra Strawberry sugarfree chewing gum

Extra is a well-known brand of sugarfree chewing gum that was launched by the Wrigley Company in 1984. It gained popularity as one of the first sugar-free gums to use aspartame, making it a staple in the confectionery market for oral health and breath freshening.

Originally an American brand developed in Chicago, Wrigley's Extra is now manufactured in various locations globally to serve different regional markets. While the brand has deep American roots, the production of specific formats like the plastic bottle shown in the image often occurs in regional hubs across Europe, Asia, and North America.

The brand is currently owned by Mars, Incorporated, a massive global snack and pet care company headquartered in McLean, Virginia, USA. Mars acquired the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company in 2008 in a deal that significantly expanded their influence in the confectionery sector, eventually merging the two into the Mars Wrigley segment.
