Apparently it’s a big secret. They’re right on about the Juicy part though. > [@](#): > > Which “fruit” serves as the flavor of Juicy Fruit has been deliberately made vague by Wrigley’s. Recently the company has capitalized on this in a campaign selling gum with flavors named “Strappleberry,” “Grapermelon” etc. under the Juicy Fruit brand. > **[Juicy Fruit](https://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Juicy%20Fruit)** > > Wikipedia article about Juicy Fruit ---

We’ve been around this before. **blessedwolf** actually emailed Wrigley’s and asked. See the reply he printed: > **[Juicy fruit](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=137596)** > > I’ve been a big fan of Juicy Fruit gum since I was a wee tyke, but recently a question arose: What flavour is it? Any ideas? The exact mixture is a trade secret. The “predominant notes” are lemon, orange, pineapple and banana.
