Chiclets

Chiclets is a brand of candy coated chewing gum made by Cadbury Adams. The colors of chiclets are: yellow, green, orange, red, white, and pink. The product's name is derived from Nahuatl word tziktli, in English chicle, the substance from which chewing gum was traditionally made. The original flavor was peppermint but many flavors have been added and discontinued over the decades since the introduction in 1906. Assorted fruit flavor is still available in Algeria, Colombia, Argentina, Egypt, Canada, India, Lebanon, Mexico, Venezuela and the United States.

In South America, and Thailand, Chiclets is also produced, but the brand has been extended to include various formats like bubble gum and stick gum.

The Chiclet term has been co-opted in technology to describe

  • a type of rubber keyboard,
  • a small icon adjacent to a blog post, article or web page to indicate the availability of an RSS feed,
  • the upper right hand corner button for configuring toolbars of some Aqua windows on Mac OS X
  • the icons representing applications (databases) on the workspace in Lotus Notes

All of these resemble the square, pillow-shaped size, look, or feel of a Chiclet.
