I know it sounds strange, even by today's standards, but for a brief period in the early 70s we had this stuff, although I forgot the brand name. It didn't last long! The gum came in a few basic (artificial) flavors: vanilla, chocolate or strawberry.
How did they get the ice cream "taste?" With a form of powdered fat. Each stick was coated with a bit of this white dust. What did it taste like? Certainly not ice cream. I only tried one flavor, and it tasted like artificial chocolate that you could chew.
It was "Adams Ice Cream Flavored Gum" (same company that made Black Jack and Clove chewing gum). I remember trying it in late 1973.
