Scanlen's Metro Gum​

Did you know that a 1963 Scanlen's Metro gum wrapper just sold at auction for a jaw-dropping $1600? Yep, you read that correctly—the wrapper, not one of the collectible cards inside. Makes you wonder about all those gum wrappers we tossed away, right? Hindsight really is something!

Do you have any memories of snagging a Scanlen’s Metro Gum wrapper yourself? Which flavour was your favourite? And if you’ve got other nostalgic gems you think we should spotlight, we’d love to hear from you!

Yes, that wrapper has definitely brought back some memories but I can’t actually remember the flavours I liked. I just remember buying the gum and eating it. Unfortunately, I do remember once the sweet taste when I used to spit out the gum.
