I sit corrected. I just got an email from Wrigley, and the official word is:

> [@](#):

> This brand is flavored with a combination of natural and artificial flavors, but I’m afraid we can’t be very specific because, for competitive reasons, we consider our Juicy Fruit flavoring formula to be a trade secret. &nbsp;I can, however, tell you that the mixture of fruit flavors in Juicy Fruit is comprised of predominately lemon, orange, pineapple and banana notes.

So there you have it folks, the straight dope.

Oh, and mods? I’m not sure if putting the text of the email on the boards is kosher. If it isn’t, please remove it.
